A formidable female cast puts flesh on the bones of writer Robert Harling's bittersweet (but mostly sweet) one-act play about the lives and loves of Louisiana womenfolk. Among the good ol' gals congregating at Dolly Parton's hair salon are Shirley MacLaine (battle-axe), Olympia Dukakis (rival battle-axe), Daryl Hannah (shy type), Sally Field (mother) and an Oscar-nominated young 'un called Julia Roberts (daughter). You'll recognise their fellas, but they're strictly wallpaper in an oestrogen-dipped tearjerker.
