Exceptional!!!

Jamie Gertz can really do comedy! She pulled it off with out getting syrupy or schmaltzy. I really enjoyed seeing her in a role like this. She could easily play the strong female lead. Please no more pompous roles. The actor who played Gene Wilder sounded so much like him. The way he carried himself was like watching some of the old TV interviews I remember seeing him as a kid. The story was well written with out getting caught in the "pitty me" which was so not Gilda. It shows the struggle that the disease brought her. It even brought out the fact that Gilda and Bill Murray had an affair. Including the dream sequences shows us Gilda's anxieties about her life. "It's Always Something" as a biopic is excellent. As television has a tend to gloss over much of the "grit" that attracts audiences to these shows. It did not do it here.
