Review of Girl 27

Girl 27 (2007)
9/10
Documentary on 1930 Hollywood scandal that was covered up
14 September 2007
Director and writer David Stenn took the gutsy step of putting himself into the movie. "Gutsy" because others have, and will, find fault with this approach. They misinterpret his goal of sharing each step of investigation. They see it as self-centered. Rather, it's quite the opposite. The technique succeeds in creating a "plot" and building considerable suspense, especially regarding the central figures of the 1937 scandal.

I would recommend this movie to any interested in the "Glory Days" of Hollywood, historical research, and the telling of history. Stenn takes a chance in his approach. I think it succeeds.
