Description:
They met on a beach when they were very young, brassy C.C. Bloom (Bette Midler) and classy Hillary Whitney (Barbara Hershey). Through good times and bad times, through broken marriages and budding careers, they still had each other. And together, they would face their greatest challenge ... as only best friends could. Hershey is splendid, and Midler will astound you all over again with her comedic and musical talents in this critically acclaimed box office smash. BEACHES glows with warmth, humor, and tenderness.... This is one friendship you'll enjoy every minute of.
Amazon.com essential video:
Garry Marshall's 1988 drama about a 30-year friendship between two women, one wealthy (Barbara Hershey) and the other (Bette Midler) seeking her fortune in show business, is well written (based on the novel by Iris Rainer Dart) and nicely textured in its contrast between the characters' separate destinies. When Hershey becomes ill with cancer, the film takes a predictably sentimental course, yet Marshall brings out the best in both actresses and catches some very fine drama. The film is a little too long, perhaps, but overall it is a fine experience. --Tom Keogh

The CD arrived in a timely manner and was well packaged to survive the trip through the US mail. Wonderful price; excellent audio; amazing movie!
Rating: - An oldie but still a goodie!
I have always loved this movie! I bought it so I could now watch it with my own daughter. It made me cry at the end way back when it first came out, and it still made me cry when I watched it again!!! (of course I am one of those sappy people who loves a good tear jerker so if you are too, this is a movie for you!!!!)

In Atlantic City two eleven-year-old girls meet on the beach. One is very loud and brassy, very show businessy, and the other more sedate and ladylike. The two become instant friends and mug for the camera as they have four pictures in a strip taken by one of those olden days coin-operated machines in an arcade. They tear the strip in two, and each girl keeps two pictures. The movie is bookended by two beaches, one in Atlantic City at the beginning and the other on the Pacific outside of San Francisco ...
