# Valley of the Dolls: The Criterion Collection 2-DVD Edition

Valley of the Dolls: The Criterion Collection is a two-disc DVD edition of Mark Robson’s 1967 film, presented with a new 2K digital restoration and several archival and newly produced extras. Its appeal is the film’s camp reputation and a substantial selection of supplementary material, rather than a high-definition disc format.
