Dorothy Parker / RE: (TV) Re: Horses?



"Mrs. Parker & The Vicious Circle" ... that's one of my all-time favorite movies. 

I'm not sure how accurate director Alan Rudolph's depiction of the Algonquin Round Table was, 
but he certainly captured the deep but doomed love between Dorothy Parker and Robert Benchley.
