The poignant story of Gilda Radner is, possibly due to her limited celebrity, not often explored outside the E! True Hollywood Story. Unfortunately, the one venue that decided to venture into her life choose to trample it instead of celebrate it.
Sure, she had problems with her weight and men, but there had to be a few good times for Gilda. We'll never know. ABC's (aptly titled) "It's Always Something" prefers instead to focus exclusively on the crowd-pleasing tabloid fodder. Throw in a few first year film student camera tricks and cuts, and one misplaced "Saccharin Song" clip from her Broadway show, apparently meant to balance between the poignant and the funny as a sort of ironic twist on her eventual illness, and "It's Always Something" deserves to rot in the Movie of the Week obscurity it will soon be enveloped in.
