Review of Tales from the Hollywood Hills: Natica Jackson (1987) by Richard D — 13 Mar 2017
This TV movie adaptation of a John O'Hara story aired as an episode of "Great Performances", which would lead you to believe that it might actually be good. Michelle Pfeiffer stars as a Hollwood actress in the 30's who starts an affair with a married man.
Although the valiantly try to make you believe it's the 1930's, there's something about shooting on video that renders the attempt unconvincing. Oddly enough, the DVD release of this intersperses it with a completely unrelated episode also set in Hollywood in the 30's starring Darren McGavin and Steven Bauer.
Neither story is interesting enough to justify more than 30 minutes of your time. Interspersing them just serves to confuse the viewer.
