Black Saturday. Day #6 of our Beauty Pageant Movies. And this is the oldest film among the six I have presented so far. “Smile” was released back in 1975. Directed by Michael Ritchie, it starred the much younger selves of Bruce Dern, Melanie Griffith and Annette O’Toole.
“Smile” revolves around the contestants and people involved with the California pageant of the fictional Young American Miss Pageant, held in Santa Rosa, California…it satirizes small-town America and its peculiarities, hypocrisies and artifice within and around the pageant. – Wikipedia
This movie was subsequently adapted into a 1986 Broadway musical with songs by Marvin Hamlisch and Howard Ashman. Watch the trailer now. If you want to view the movie in full, click on the link below the video.
