Steel Magnolias (Special Edition) Best Review
This movie is an all time favorite of mine and I have seen it a countless number of times. The movie was actually filmed in Natchitoches, Louisiana, which is very close to where I live so I have visited the town, which is truly beautiful. I just want to state that I am some what bothered by some of the comments in other reviews stating that they wish the movie was more of this or more of that. This screenplay was written by Robert Harling about the life and horrible death of his sister Susan, who Julia Roberts character mirrors. This is a TRUE STORY based on Susan's REAL life & REAL death (in 1985) after the birth of her young son Jack Jr. The movie is what it is because Robert wrote it after locking himself in his room for 10 days after Susan's devastating death. Please feel free to research and you will find the truth, which is that this is not just some made up story but instead a story of the journey traveled by a real family from Natchitoches, La. That is also why the movie was filmed entirely in that lovely town. Robert Harling plays the preacher throughout the film, who marries Shelby & Jackson, who is at the cemetary & the Easter egg hunt on the river. He & his Mother were on site throughout ALL of the filming to make certain that it stayed true to the truth of their real life story. True fans should buy the "Steel Magnolias Scrapbook - Memories of Movie making in a small town" if you love the movie. It is a great book full of wonderful information.

Steel Magnolias (Special Edition) Specifications
Based on Robert Harling's play, this comedy-drama directed by Herbert Ross (The Turning Point) follows several years in the lives of women who regularly see one another at a beauty shop in their small Louisiana town. The story deepens as Julia Roberts, playing a serious diabetic and the daughter of Sally Field, goes downhill in her health. But as an ensemble piece, this is one of those enjoyably lumpy tearjerkers with many years' worth of stored truths suddenly being shared between the characters, lots of grievances aired, that sort of thing. Daryl Hannah and Shirley MacLaine assume the most eccentric roles, Dolly Parton the most fun, and Olympia Dukakis the most dignified, while Sally Field essentially provides the moral and emotional center of the movie. --Tom Keogh
