Throughout the "Roaring '20s," a flock of the decade's most vibrant writers gathered daily to dine at New York City's Algonquin Hotel. Here the likes of Edna Ferber, Dorothy Parker, George S. Kaufman and Harpo Marx socialized and philosophized while crafting works that captured the era's high-class ambitions and ultimate decadence. In this Oscar-winning documentary, Aviva Slesin uses the Round Table as a focal point to explore how the Jazz Age shaped these artists' relationships and lives.

Leaburn O 1987 must have been a weak year for documentaries. This won an Oscar and it’s barely passable as a tv programme, let alone an award winning doc. Totally irreverent and irrelevant, I will forget this quicker than writing this review. Watched on YouTube. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/24/25 Full Review Read all reviews
