Back To Index Steel Magnolias
 Barnes & Noble A self-styled "womans picture" that generates laughter and tears with equal facility, Steel Magnolias is blessed with an extraordinary ensemble of female actors, each of them cast to perfection. Much of the action revolves around a small Southern towns beauty shop, managed by lusty, straight-talkin Dolly Parton. Her regular customers and close friends include devoted mother Sally Field, whos worried that her diabetic daughter (Julia Roberts in her first major screen role) isnt up to raising her newborn child; Shirley MacLaine, the towns tart-tongued curmudgeon; Olympia Dukakis, a no-nonsense matron whos Shirleys frequent sparring partner; and Daryl Hannah, Dollys ditzy assistant. These characters are sharply drawn by Robert Harling, who adapts his own play to the screen and provides the women with crisp, natural dialogue. Director Herbert Ross (The Goodbye Girl) unites his talented performers, making them a cohesive group and reinforcing the notion that when women with common goals and yearnings stick together, theres nothing they cant accomplish or endure.
