The one rule when watching a movie bio or docudrama is to ask yourself, "How much did they lie?" Yes, we can say some lying in art may be necessary to get at what George Abbott once called "the truthier truth", long before that pestilence the ERIC SEVAREID OF COMEDY was born; but when some of us don't expect art we have less reason to suspect we'll get the truth; viewed in that spotlight
what GOODTHINGS ENTERTAINMENT did is just another example of show-biz types throwing -- stuff at a wall and hoping it sticks. It stuck, all right.
