Dory Previn was a renowned Emmy winning and Oscar nominated songwriter who went from writing songs for MGM movie musicals (Valley of the Dolls, Inside Daisy Clover, Pepe) in the 60s to becoming a cult figure singer-songwriter in the 70s and early 80s. Her work explored themes of women’s sexuality and oppression, lived experience of mental illness, and the wonders and terrors of religiosity with incisive intelligence and a humor like no other songwriter of her time.
This film explores how and why her significant contributions to popular culture, which were ahead of their time in almost every aspect, have been largely erased, and establishes her reputation as a musical innovator and an adventurous thinker.
