CGiii Comment

A beautiful production with a shambolic central performance.

Jennifer Jason Leigh's voice...it's like a cat's claws being dragged down a gargantuan blackboard. Horrible.

The direction, look at the producer...it's that Altman influence AGAIN!

Insufferable.

The(ir) Blurb...

Dorothy Parker remembers the heyday of the Algonquin Round Table, a circle of friends whose barbed wit, like hers, was fueled by alcohol and flirted with despair.
