Rich and Famous

While Liz Hamilton (Jacqueline Bisset) earned critical praise as a serious novelist--but found little in the way of personal connection--college roomie Merry Noel Blake (Candice Bergen) managed to find success both with family and as a purveyor of trash fiction. Their tempestuous relationship over the years fuels this glossy remake of "Old Acquaintance" co-starring David Selby, Hart Bochner, Steven Hill, and, in her film debut, Meg Ryan; final directing assignment for George Cukor. 117 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English, French.
