Motown wasting talent for profits;
'Mahogany' not even decent garbage
by Hank Baker
It's really dog-day blues at the movies
these days, new Motown Productions sudser
is really an awful film just looking at the
cliche catchlines on the poster will tell you
that.
What's really important is that Berry
Gordy, the director, is playing everyone for
suckers, especially black people, by handing
us the same rags-to-riches routine again,
only now with the new black superstar,
Diana Ross. Gordy is a shrewd
businessman people are seeing Mahogany
in droves.
Diana Ross plays Tracy, a department
store worker who has dreams of being a big
fashion designer. She meets up with Sean
(Anthony Perkins), a repressed homosexual
photographer, and before you can say
Barbra Streisand, Tracy is whisked off to
Rome and becomes Mahogany, the new

super-model.
Now that she's on top, we get to watch her
mingle with and be used by the same pseudo
decadent jet set you read about in those
crummy Jacqueline Suzzanne novels. (Don't
expect much depravity though; the film is
only rated PG).
Calling Mahogany a terrible movie isn't
going to raise much controversy. I wasn't the
only one in the theater laughing at all the
ludicrous goings-on. After all, how can you
keep a straight face when Perkins, trying to
go straight with Mahogany, says, "I'm a man
who knows the needs of a woman."
Unfortunately the old boy just can't get it
up, resulting in a hilarious scene in which
Ross says, "Don't worry Sean. It's not the
most important thing." Despite this bit of
nobility, Sean is too humiliated not to give
Mahogany hell from now on, even to the
point of trying to kill her.
Every character in the Film is a stereotype,
including Mahogany. There isn't a single real
human being in sight. Billy Dee Williams is
the upright, crusading politician-boyfriend
back home, who gives Mahogany one of the
film's more ridiculous lines, "Success is
nothing without someone you love to share it
with." This line is now being used on the
ads it figures.
Jean Pierry Aumont plays the rich
nobleman who gives Tracy what she really
wants, but only if she will be his mistress.

John Byrum. the script writer, has obv iously
seen John Schlesinger's Darling, and most
every other Hollywood soap opera, because
nothing in the film is the least bit original.
Berry Gordy, head of Motown, fired Tony
Richardson, the original director, and took
the position himself. It's too bad-Gordy
has had no experience, and the bad timing in
most of the scenes reflects this. He gets only
one decent performance Billy Dee
Williams, which is a marvel since all the man
does is spout rhetoric here and there.
Diana Ross is erratic and hyper as
Mahogany. She tries so hard to be
glamorous, and her lines are so bad, that her
performance becomes totally artificial.
Anthony Perkins is even worse, with all his
mannerisms on full display. I don't know
what he thought he was doing w ith his roie,
but whatever it is, it's ghastly.
Gordy is clearly wasting talent for his own
profits. Diana Ross could be a good actress if
she could get decent scripts. Although she
managed to salvage her part in Lady Sings
The Blues, she can't here. Gordy is trying to
fashion her into the black equivalent of
Barbra Streisand and Lana Turner, when he
should let her develop her own talents.
Despite such packaging, people are still
pouring into the theaters. Gordy is playing
on the middle-class attitudes about glamour
and romance of both w hites and blacks, and
audiences are eating it up no matter how bad
it is. This kind of trash seems to have some
kind of alluring quality about it.
Last summer, Once Is Not Enough made
millions, and Mahogany will probably so the
same. Granted, it's fun to wallow in come
good trash once in a . while, but, Mahogany -,
isn't even decent garbage. It's pure tedium
because you've seen all the cliches a hundred
times.
Gordy, however, is determined to make as
much off the old formulas as possible. He
fired Tony Richardson because he felt
Richardson wasn't portraying black people
in the proper fashion. Judging from the rest
of Mahogany, it's obvious that Gordy's
viewpoint is little different.
