Pie In The Sky:The Brigid Berlin Story

I love the cheerful product description of this at the top of the page: 'hilarious wild ride'. uh, no. Pie in the Sky is the story of a high-society girl (Berlin) who mortifies her parents with her willful self-destruction. I felt so incredibly sad for them. Brigid's mother was gorgeous and you can see in some of the Polaroids that Brigid had taken of herself in her youth that she also could have been a real stunner. The one thing I admire about Brigid is her love of organization. But to watch this film is a very depressing 75 minutes. There is some archival footage that I found interesting but it all comes back to poor Brigid. Sooooo sad. So very sad.                               3/5/08
