    Great Film and Well Worth Seeing

    This is a massively entertaining documentary about a great screenwriter caught in a very important period of modern American history. A must-see for anyone who loves movies, anyone who loves writers, anyone who loves history... and well, let's just say pretty much anyone.

    Great performances throughout and just in general a very important and fun film.
