Title: A Conversation Piece
Product review: The Roaring 20s fascinate me; and especially when combined with Tinseltown lore. Add to that a Hollywood Babylon-esque murder mystery (which may or may not have taken place), and how could I say no?This is one of those flicks where I don't like any of the characters...in fact I loathed most of them...and yet studied it as if preparing for a dissertation on the subject. And though I despise him (both the real-life Hearst and the character based on him in this film), I couldn't help but feel bad for the pathetic scumbag for what he went through with Davies.If you've got friends with an interest in history (or at least historical scandal), this movie could get some interesting conversation(s) started.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
