This movie was mentioned when I read the case of Lana Turner - and the article stated that this movie covered her murder trial.
The article was BS, there is nothing similar to her real story in this movie.
2 hours is too long. The story picks up only after 1 hour and 45 minutes - and then it gets interesting.
Cursing is unrealistic - people before sexual revolution did not have access to vulgar words or scenes, pornography was unknown - and there were no cable TV to pick up the f word from.
Murders also - the same reason.
The point of this picture is that sexual revolution freed up potential corruption due to removing stigma from having sex with strangers and being caught and then blackmailed about it.
I do not know why this movie has such high ranking, why is it so popular.
The story is already being seen and told millions of times since 1970s - we do not see nothing new here.
