Movies as frantically bad as Mahogany can be enjoyed on at least one level: the spectacle of a lot of people making fools of themselves. The film marks the directorial debut of Berry Gordy, the Motown Records whiz, who has slapped scenes together as if he were laying down tracks for an album: one fast, one slow, one happy, one sad, one up, one down.

Monday-morning quarterbacks will have their greatest field day with Howard's uncharacteristic tension. "Our show will have a different feel with Howard," Arledge had boasted. But alas, even Cosell's talent for sardonic invective was dulled. Obviously reading from cue cards, he made...
