I suspected, okay, knew, that "Mahogany" would be ridiculous, but I didn’t expect it to be ridiculously bad, which feels almost unforgivable for a film so firmly lodged in the camp canon. After loving "The Wiz", the hubby and I thought Diana Ross might have some untapped potential as an actress. This new-to-streaming movie put that notion to rest. She spends nearly every scene shouting her lines, as if volume alone could conjure drama. Anthony Perkins chews the scenery in his inimitable fashion, while Billy Dee Williams somehow rises above a limp script and some amateurish directing. In the mid-1970s, audiences were understandably hungry for Black cinema, and while the theme song remains a classic, the film itself is best left in the vault as a curious relic of its era. Miss Ross has given us so much musically that we can graciously forgive her for (widely) missing the mark here. (6.4/10)

Slick, silly stuff but an interesting Diana, as

Slick, silly stuff but an interesting Diana, as always (NYT) Enjoyable trifle that Diana should have deferred until completing another higher quality film or two. Diana Ross made an impressive acting debut in Lady Sings the Blues and then followed up with the lightweight Mahogany. Had she instead found another critical favorite, she would have had more latitude in putting out a movie like Mahogany. Or, if Mahogany were better constructed, Diana might have been the 70s urban version of Doris Day's early 60s classics. Instead, she lost momentum and wasn't taken seriously as an actress. The Wiz, a few years later, certainly didn't help. She was roasted for vainly portraying a Dorothy that, though noted as older than Judy's version, could no way be convincingly accepted by any seeing film patron.
