I'm off to watch the Coco Chanel movie. Anyone see it yet? Is it good?

1. It's good. n/t

2. I've only seen the trailers, and Shirly McClain...

...was hamming it up for all she's worth. I sort of decided not to watch it because of that. I'd be interested to know if it's better than it looked.

4. She is not in most of the movie. It is told in flashbacks and

a younger actress portrays Coco for much of the film.

3. I saw an older movie about Coco's life. Absolutely fascinating.

5. It was good, although it leaves out a lot.

Still and all I learned the story behind the little black dress and the pearls and the perfume and the hats. It is worth a watch. Give it a go.

6. Thanks for this thread. I was beginning to think that I was a very

shallow oddball (more so than usual :D)

7. It was in the background last night. Almost all of it was the "young" CHANEL. Shirley had 2 minutes

8. Yeah, very little Shirley.

9. It's sad. Because what it means is that SHE'S GONE.

If she had the physical and mental capacity to carry off a major role, you KNOW they would have written it for her to do so. Instead, they shamelessly traded off her name and fame JUST to promote it.
