Dir: Peter Bogdanovich | Cast: Kirsten Dunst, Cary Elwes, Eddie Izzard, Joanna Lumley, Edward Herrmann | US drama
Known for his tenacious penchant for recreating film history Peter Bogdanvich here turned his attention to the era of prohibition and the mysterious death of director Thomas Ince which was rumoured to be hushed up because the consumption of a certain illegal substance was involved.
The film provides the pleasure of seeing the likes of Kirsten Dunst as Marion Davies, Eddie Izzard as Charlie Chaplin, Joanna Lumley as Eleanor Glynn and Jennifer Tilly as Hedda Hopper, the latter rumoured to have witnessed a certain event that obliged Hearst to keep her on his payroll for the remainder of his life. @RichardChatten
