Channeling Chanel

I am not sure if I should assign Tivo to look for future showings of the docudrama, Coco Chanel, on Lifetime. I heard it got not very good reviews, including Shirley McClain as our heroine.

"..the strong, forceful Chanel would never welcome the premise of this biographical movie - that her success was a result of the tragic relationships she had with men," - Boston Herald. Seems like they gave her story the Lifetime treatment.

I tuned into a few minutes late on Monday night, but was not riveted. Sometimes you have to be in the mood for these period pieces: men going off to war, hats that never cause hat hair, the clip clop of horses' hooves.

I may anxiously just wait for Audrey Tatou in an upcoming version, which focuses on Chanel before her fame in fashion, and presumably how she got to where she did. I love Audrey Tatou.
