Director Andrew Bergman was known for slightly off beat comedies such as The Freshman and he could handle big stars known to be difficult such as Marlon Brando.
In 'Isn't She Great' Bergman tries but ultimately fails because this fictionalised biography of author Jacqueline Susann is just too stuffy, slushy and sentimentalised when it should had been loud, vulgar and left field.
Bette Midler is too restrained as Susann, the period recreation is very good but although a watchable film I expected something more great.
