...doing this week's cover story, Writer Seamon drew on 40,000 words of research from Show Business Reporters Serrell Hillman, Dorothea Bourne and Ruth Brine, who spent a total of 30 hours with their subject.

This, linked to a vivid production, makes for a generally good evening that at its best is engrossing.
