Tracy Chambers (Diana Ross) is the assistant to a department store manager coming from the slums of Chicago's south side. She aspires to be a fashion designer. Brian (Billy Dee Williams) is a community organizer fighting the man. Sean (Anthony Perkins) is an arrogant photographer.
The music has the one smash hit. I was invested in her as a designer. I started to lose interest after she becomes a model for Sean. Leaving Chicago is also a problem. The city became a character in the movie. I don't care if Rome looks exotic. It's missing the point. The audience wants her struggles which would make triumph that much sweeter. I don't like Sean. I don't buy Diana Ross as a supermodel. The movie's promising start deteriorates. After an hour, the movie loses its drive. I stop caring about these characters. The song is iconic but I can't give the movie any extra points. It's not a musical.
