A review by ronanmjdoyle
Picture by Lillian Ross

4.0

Fantastically compelling old-school reportage by a writer who spins a sensational yarn. Ross' ability to paint portraits of her cast is—critical cliché be damned—positively cinematic, and her diligent tracking of this picture's journey through the Hollywood sausage factory is essential reading for any film fan. Hers is a style of remarkable modesty, attaining a kind of omniscience for its steadfast refusal to ever accept anything more than a bit part.
