Oops, didn't notice til I saw the broadcast credits that it's co-produced by Barbara Steele.
Some terrific performances and wonderful moments, but I would have preferred seeing a movie about Ted Danson's character (got a kick out of his slipping into Becker mode), or Daniel Baldwin's, Ellen Burstyn's, Brian Dennehy's, or Chris Bauer's... but "OF" focused on so many characters and events that I can't say I learned more about any one of them than I gleaned from reading news reports about the scandal while it was happening.
Cardinal Law, seen as one-dimensional, was the worst of all the portrayals.
Gothick was pretty close to the mark-- the flashback scenes to the abuse with Cobert's music and Curtis' trademark camera angles didn't help the movie at all; it felt more like watching DS, which gave them an unreal quality.
