The Girl (2012 Julian Jarrold)

Scr. Gwyneth Hughes from a muck-raking book by Donald Spoto.

Toby Jones does a great job as Hitch, Sienna Miller is Tippi, Imelda Staunton as Alma...


... though it doesn't chime with what I and Kim Novak believe he was like.

The days of bird endurance are well shot.

Also Penelope Wilton, Carl Benkes as Jim Brown, on whose interview this was based, though his widow denies he would have been anti-Hitch.

Good, but not a great dramatic piece.

Ph. John Pardue.
