I am trying to only review the movies as I see them (first or again), but saw this listing and couldn't help it. This is another great subject documentary that got lucky with some points (interviews in this case), but needed a better filmmaker. Still, see it. It is very intriguing.
I don't want to see any movie about an underage dancer getting raped at a "wild MGM stag party in 1937." What demographic are they appealing to?
While there was real tragedy in how the cover-up of Patricia Douglas' rape ruined so many lives, there's another tragedy here: that Patricia Douglas and her family had their tragedy exploited by an opportunistic director. This was all about David Stenn and how he made the movie, how he found the information. The very first scene is him recounting how Jackie Onassis told him if anyone could tell this story it was him. The ego on this man is ridiculous, and what should have been a riveting, powerful documentary was cheapened and ultimately ruined by Stenn's compulsion to ingratiate himself into almost every scene of this film. Big disappointment.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Girl 27" !
