Typical characters for a film of this type, but it has it's moments
11 May 2002
Peter Bogdanovich is a director whom I haven't seen that many of his works. I saw some of the footage from Directed by John Ford and laughed at how Ford answered Bogdanovich's questions in a proffesional manner, er, like a prick. And I also saw him in his small role on the Sopranos. Here, he shows a story that obivously had a lot of care taken to the craft, but it doesn't amount to anything spectacular. The story has good qualities to it like the charicatures of Hearst as a slightly crazed rich man and Chaplin as a hardly laughable and loving man. Worth a peek, if only to see a turn back for Dunst into the more mature film world. B
