I'm 74, never bought a copy of Vogue in my life, my brief exposure to the rag trade didn't (to say the least) endear it to me, I'm not even a movie fan. But I was utterly enthralled by this movie. Most thought-provoking documentary I've ever seen and certainly the most visually beautiful.
I admire Anna Wintour. I like that she's kept the same hair style since her teens--it's just right for her. I love the way she dresses; feminine, graceful, mostly soft print silks & handsome jackets. I love the way her face lights up and softens when she looks at her daughter. I like the colorful primitive pottery she seems to collect. I love the oriental rug in her office. I love her Golden Doodle dog.
I don't wonder at her brusque detachment; a sweet empathetic soul would be eaten alive in that jealous back-stabbing industry.
I adored honest, authentic, intelligent, sensitive, durable, tersely eloquent Grace Coddington: duck-footed in flat shoes, black sack dress, trademark wild red hair.
The shots of Paris/London/Milan/Rome are the most gorgeous travelogue ever.
There are so many marvelous things about the movie. The whole concept, the script, the pace, the film editing, the music, the glimpses into the mechanics of the business and the ordinary-to-surreal characters who people it.
I'll watch it again and probably more than once, and that's the highest accolade I can give.

The theme song often goes through my head after all these years. I was never much of a TV watcher, probably because I was just entering my busy teen years when my family bought our first set in 1948 and it never became part of my life. But from the first episode of Lawman I was hooked, and it is the only TV show I've ever scheduled my week around.
Intelligent, believable, well-written and well-acted, and John Russell is still to me the most beautiful man I ever saw. (Peter Brown was no dog, either :o)
I agree that it is one of the most underrated TV series of all time. I hope I can find some episodes for my grandchildren to watch.
