Lee
(McCarthy) is an author whose agent (Curtain) no longer calls her or listens to
her ideas. Whose books no longer sell, whose cat is ill, who has no money and
who hates and is rude to everybody.
She
resorts to forging letters from famous authors to make money.
McCarthy
is almost unrecognisable in this serious role. She’s as good here as in her
zany comedies. Those of which I’ve seen I like.
Unfortunately I find this story less good than the acting. True story, by the way.
