        On the other hand, Sheila McLaughlin's *Committed* (1984) shows
the life of Frances Farmer in quite a different manner, without the soft
focus, three point lighting, and extradiegetic violins.  It is worth
checking out for a comparison with its Hollywood counterpart.
        It's available on video.
