Title: Addicts Don't Amuse Me
Product review: Well, you can't deny she was a great popular singer. I certainly don't. Like Billy Holiday, she possessed that special voice, that sorrowful gaze, the special loneliness that made her art very appealing. When the life story is told, however, one is asked to sympathize with her as a person, not only as a singer. For me, this was difficult. I certainly recognize her personal despair, I have compassion, but finally I found her a torment to others and began to sympathize more with them than with her. Many have an infinite patience with these types of demanding, erratic geniuses, but I don't. Thank God she found people willing to put up with her. I would have fled. The movie seemed long because I felt restless as I watched her destroy everything around her.
