This was okay, Good I guess for a made for TV movie. I was expecting more of a biography about Coco's entire life though instead this just touches on her childhood and then profiles her throughout her twenties; working in a Paris dress shop and then moving in with a wealthy man. Not satisfied with being a kept woman, Coco designs hats and dreams of moving to Paris to open her own boutique.
There's a bit of a love triangle, that's never resolved with her lover 'Étienne's' best friend. Shirley MacClaine plays Coco in her later years and is excellent (although I wondered where her French accent disappeared to?) Really her role is only a cameo, appearing at the beginning and end. Speaking of which the ending is abrupt, leaving tons of unanswered questions. 03.30.14
