Duchess of Windsor

There's a compelling true-life story of Hollywood during its golden age and the sordid reality of a young girl caught in its machinations lurking somewhere in David Stenn's self-aggrandizing documentary, Girl 27, but you'll have to pick through all the specious suppositions, and self-congratulatory excess to find those isolated bits and pieces. It's a shame that this important story wasn't told by someone else; as it is, Girl 27 winds up as a largely repulsive act of directorial manipulation (of his actual subject, Patricia Douglas) and an obvious, failed attempt to make the director a film presence in his own right.
