Rich stuffy story about growing up around rich stuffy people...the kind I grew up around...and the underground that feeds off their world. I found it to be extremely realistic in character portrayal and setting and costuming and mood anddemeanor.These characters were all familiar to me as I grew up in N.Y, N.J. and Fl. And visited in Ca. I saw high and low life, clean and not so...and I lived with a Czech Gigolo! I traveled Europe with him. Believe me...this chapter was fabulous!
I thought the movie flowed and all points were well made. I have just begun the novel and will probably have more to say after reading it but having seen the movie three times now I am truly smitten with even the child actor and I am always crical of them.
