Take My Advice: The Ann and Abby Story

How forgotten the story of syndicated twin advice columnists. This not only showed us the real story, but it gives us a glimpse back into the 50's. I think that it was great, and I give it an 8. Now I understand that many people don't like it. Why, because it was about real life. Real life does not run like a sitcom or modern movie. I admit, I could not figure out which twin was which, but after I figured it out by the hair, I was enjoying the movie even more.

It was a terrific show. It was interesting to learn some facts about Ann and Abby. The cast was great! If Wendie Malick doesn't earn an emmy award for this show, it's a real shame. I enjoyed the scenes showing the change of looks, wardrobe, etc. I highly recommended it to all my friends.

I will confess, I mainly watched this to see the wigs and clothes, and also for Wendy Malick, who is great in everything & always fun to watch. I will admit, parts got kind of boring--no matter how great the dress is, I can only watch someone pecking away at a typewriter for so long. They did a good job of not making it obvious that one actress was playing 2 roles, it was pretty seamless. THe characters barely seem to age at all from the late 30's to the 70's, but oh well. Great wigs/falls and great 50's and 60's clothes and details. Malick looks sharp.
