Negative Positive
Title: Chanel No. 1
Review: I've never known how much to like Shirley Maclaine--until I saw her in this film. Though it is not as stirring as I thought, it is good, down-to-earth Coco and I think she'd have liked this film version of herself. It is richly, beautifully detailed in ways reminiscent of Chanel's designs and I think people miss that about this film. I especially love the sequence of Chanel's impending financial ruin...while she's busy worrying about one of her specialty weavers and the supply of the work.
