Mrs. Parker And The Vicious CircleMrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle was a film released in 1994. It was written and directed by Alan Rudolph and starred Jennifer Jason Leigh as the writer Dorothy Parker. The film revolves around Parker's life, career, and romances. Parker was known in the 1920s for her acerbic wit; she was also a suicidal pessimist and drunk who got into deadbeat relationships with her colleagues. Parker started a daily lunch meeting with other notable writers of the era in the restaurant of the hotel she lived in, the Algonquin Hotel. The get-togethers became known as the Algonquin Round Table. The following actors played the participants in the meetings: The film was a critical but not commercial success. Some complained that Leigh mumbled her way through the film and was difficult to understand; in fact this was a dead-on affectation of Parker's own voice. The film was a Palme d'Or nominee.
