Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont

DASH AND LILLY is a very good TV movie from A&E that profiles the lives of Dashiell Hammett and Lillian Hellman. It stars Sam Shepard and Judy Davis. They are very very good. While the 100-minute story skips tither and yon its main focus is the Un-American crap era of McCarthy and the imprisonment of Hammett.

Directed by Kathy Bates, we get a few clips from The Thin Man, which Hammett supposedly based on Hellman and himself. There's also a story arc where our heroes labor as writers in Hollywood and Dorothy Parker (Bebe Neuwirth) pops in now and then to drop witticisms. The film garnered 9 Emmy nominations and rightly so.

However, one HUGE oddity jumped out at me at the beginning of the film. As we're whisked to a big Hollywood premiere for the Hollywood arc, the premiere is of The Royal Rascal starring Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont! Is this supposed to be a joke?

This is a fictional movie in the classic SINGIN' IN THE RAIN.
