muddle and pointless drama that really should have be title lillian . fred zinneman film be beautifully edit and score and and photograph and and be nominate for 10 academy award and but it a vapid and self important film that miss a core . fonda be miscast a hellman and she have no character to play and the scene of hellman writing and smoking and and drinking be flat and clichéd and a be the scene between lillian and dashiell hammett . and julia and lillian occupy little screen time together hence the basis for their relationship must be assume . support oscar winner jason robards be typically gruff and redgrave julia be all luminosity . redgrave win the oscar for support actress and and her controversial acceptance speech be really the most notable thing about julia . the centerpiece of the film really milk lillian smuggle money into nazi germany for all the cloak and dagger it worth and and it really the only interesting thing about julia or lillian .
