Yes, it took a while to forget that it was Jennifer Love-Hewitt on the screen and not Audrey, but JLH is skilled, and after awhile I forgot it was JLH, not AH.
The material transcended any minor flaws. I let my 10 year old daughter stay up and watch it with me. I felt it covered a lot of important topics and feelings (family abandonment, unrequited love, insecurity, innocence, dreams) that get glossed over, hyped, or made light of in traditional Hollywood shows. I gave us some topics for discussion on the way to school. I felt the producers did a fine job bringing a classy portrayal of a classy lady to the screen.
The difficulty in this show is the fact that several distinct people show up and its hard to duplicate a Bogart, Hepburn, or Holden with out making comparisions. However, I wasn't bothered by this fact.
