The plot goes back and forth; the dialogue is realistic; the Hollywood insider's information is detailed and fascinating. The courtroom scenes play like one of the director's films, just as he wants them to play. Antonelli's defense is well done, though he is never sure that the director is innocent. A fascinating story and Schirner's fully voiced performance keeps up with the writing. His women are as good as his men, and his pace is always appropriate. His reading of the dialogue easily keeps track of all characters. Minimal graphic violence and sex. Jean Palmer, KLIATT |
