Review of Too Much, Too Soon (1958) by Allan C — 18 Jul 2017
Not very good tell-all type of sensationalistic biography of John Barrymore's daughter Diana, going from an innocent schoolgirl to a Hollywood party girl. On it's own, the main point of interest of this film is Errol Flynn as the drunken John Barrymore, which was not so far removed from Flynn's real-life debauched lifestyle.
Another factor outside of the film that added entertainment value is that Diana Barrymore is Drew Barrymore's aunt, making this film somewhat prescient for Drew's early years as "Little Girl Lost.
" Overall, this is basically a Lifetime channel camp drama about 50 year's before there were Lifetime movies to make fun of. However, it's a fairly entertaining of one.
