Heidi Fleiss: The Would-Be Madam of Crystal

Virtually on the eve of World of Wonder's Heidi Fleiss documentary premiering in the "Guilty Pleasures" program at the Los Angeles Film Festival on June 26 and 28, comes this glowing review from Film Stew, an excerpt from which follows:

What’s most remarkable about this latest work from the dynamic documentary duo of Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato is the film’s unvarnished candor. With the passage of time and a few more hard knocks, Fleiss is obviously willing now to let it all hang out, in a way that was only hinted at in Nick Broomfield’s earlier 1995 documentary Heidi Fleiss: Hollywood Madam. Commingling a gossamer black and white sit-down interview with snippets of Fleiss’ very unglamorous attempts to get her stud farm off the ground in Pahrump, Nevada, The Would-Be Madam of Crystal amounts to one of the most memorable L.A. scandal postscripts ever captured on film. Imagine O.J. Simpson unburdening himself during 18 holes of Florida golf, or Robert Blake resurfacing from some hideout with Baretta bravado, and you begin to get a sense of how special this latest B & B concoction is.
