To be honest, I'm surprised Effie didn't die in the movie. The Supremes story makes for a fantastic read. It would also make for it's own great movie or even Broadway musical, but I can't see a world where these two things will ever happen because the film maker will inevitably run into the prospect that people will sit it out because the audience will believe they've seen this before.
