This is a movie you'll want to watch again and again. Jane Fonda has created memorable characters throughout her career but her portrayal of Gertie is so achingly authentic and original, Fonda, as you may have seen her in other roles, is all but unrecognizable here.
Originally made for TV, I hope this movie will be released on DVD and be re-run frequently on TV and get some of the attention it deserves (I caught for the first time as a late night rerun.) Fonda's Gertie represents a very real American woman who is too rarely seen in movies, presented here with such stark realism, you'll take her into your heart.
This movie and Fonda's performance can stand along side the very best of American films. And it is simply a beautiful story - I hope more people get a chance to discover The Dollmaker.

While Geraldine Page has always been regarded as a remarkably talented actor, she seems to inhabit the role of Carrie in a way that is so authentic you scarcely recognize her as the actress. A simple, beautifully told story of woman who spends her days longing for a time and a place in life that she has lost and wants desperately to go back to. This is a universal story about coping with loss and growing older. Page brings such dignity to this character and the story, you don't need to waste sympathy on Carrie but you will be touched by this story - it's so fitting that she won an Academy Award for this role, one of her final performances.
