Grey Gardens on HBO

The HBO film recently screened is intriguing although there are many questions left unanswered so far as I am concerned.  From 1936 through the making of the documentary in 1973 through the present, there's still a lot that remains unexplained or unsaid.

Not sure whether the scenario adequately explains what becomes of Big and Little Edie and how they found themselves living in such squalor in East Hampton.  The sense one gets is of two frivolous, useless upper class women who never learned to do anything and found themselves in a house full of breeding cats and raccoons.  Also that they were slightly insane although the situation would require an uncanny combination of insanity and intelligence.  

Added Note: Need revision.  Now love the HBO production. More development.
