Intelligent, witty, well constructed. Terrific acting bringing to life a complex character and the ups and bumps of her fascinating life

A little disappointed. I love the witty biting writing of Dorothy Parker. Sadly, I think the actor portrayed her as a somewhat frumpish ladylike character. I think it would have improved the ambience if the actor had dressed according to the time. Or over as a character Dorothy Parker was a very biting feminist but I didn't feel that the actor portrayed this adequately.
