...nouveaux riches, because he made so many of them. He also seems to have provided a surfeit of writers to turn their freshly gilded lives into trashy novels. Among recent scribes who specialize in pressing readers' noses against the glass that separates them from the best of everything is Dominick Dunne (The Two Mrs. Grenvilles).

If you want to see a good performance by the actor who was nominated for an Academy Award for his puerile Mozart, or if you like heart-warming stories with happy endings, then Dominick and Eugene is a film worth seeing...
