Thoughts
It's been a while, but I recall loving seeing the two legends onscreen. I was aware of their tabloid-headlining relationship at the time of the film, so that baggage actually enhanced the viewing experience. It definitely felt like the performances were derived from their real lives, and it took the onscreen hatred to wonderful, venomous heights.
