cute idea to have dionne warwick do the song vocal for this movie adaptation of jacqueline susann bestselling book ( a la valley of the doll ) . although it really too bad this sudser doesn not have patty duke neely ohara to spike the story . the love machine be unrelievedly dull . even the final brawl ( with an academy award a a fight prop . ) can not save it . dyan cannon seem embalm in her heavy pancake make up and cumbersome fall ( although her tiny and suntanned figure be a beauty to behold ) and john phillip law be a block of wood in the lead and david hemmings embarrass in gay mode a a flamboyant photographer . and where be robin stone walk to at the end . be he trek out to the waterfront to pick up some sailor . after cannon have deflate his masculinity and it would be a safe bet . in that case and love machine the final episode might have be a more interesting flick . certainly good than this yawn induce snooze opera . half from .
