Diana!

About This Movie

Diana! is a fascinating slice of early '70s television, showcasing Diana Ross in her prime. The special blends comedy and music in a way that's pretty unique for its time, with Ross's charisma lighting up the screen. Choreographed by David Winters, you really get a sense of the energy and rhythm that was alive in the variety shows of that era. The pacing feels like a live performance, capturing the spontaneity of the moment, and the guest appearances, including Danny Thomas, add an interesting layer of charm. It’s not just about the music; it's about the atmosphere and the celebration of Ross's artistry at a pivotal moment in her career.

Diana! has had a bit of a mixed bag in terms of formats available, with its original airing being sought after by collectors. It’s a somewhat scarce find, especially on VHS, and there's not much out there in terms of recent re-releases. The show holds a unique place in the history of variety specials, especially for Ross fans, so it garners a fair amount of interest in collector circles.
