Bette Midler is the show here in a story of two women who meet as teens and become friends for life.
Midler plays, what else, a singer who earns fame and fortune and Barbara Hershey plays her best friend – who becomes a lawyer.
Garry Marshall, who has shown a marked talent for poignant stories of family and growing up (“The Flamingo Kid,” “Nothing in Common” ) has two of the finest actresses working today in his film.
