More Details
- Summary:
- The famed lunch scene at the Algonquin Hotel's Round Table. Home to a circle of mutually supportive young artists that defined New York sophistication and a literate era of wit and intellect. At the heart of the round table sat Mrs. Dorothy Parker, one of the sharpest, most biting wits of the past century. But beneath the raucous laughter, is a darker and richer tale filled with passionate affairs, friendship and tragedy.
