Our Take

"This is the ultimate tabloid story, studded with enough grotesque details to make today’s US Weekly cover stories look like innocent Disney fare. Burt and Linda are both candid about their lurid, high-rolling love affair in the 1950s that ended in a vicious, disfiguring attack, but that’s only the beginning of this weird tale of obsession. Crazy is right."
