I finally tracked down Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle which isn't very easy to gain access to, it being an obscure choice today. I'm not sure I loved Jennifer Jason Leigh as Dottie but it captured the 20s and the blues quite nicely. Anything set in the 20s is fun, and if you're a fan of Dorothy Parker then you really must find this film and watch it.

I'm never going to be famous. My name will never be writ large on the roster of Those Who Do Things. I don't do any thing. Not one single thing. I used to bite my nails, but I don't even do that any more.
