Confessions of a Dangerous Mind is a film based on the Chuck Barris autobiography of the same name. Chuck Barris was a creator of trashy game shows for television -- The Dating Game, The Newlywed Show, The Gong Show. In his autobiography he claims to have led a double life as a CIA assassin. The movie plays it straight, except that the actor playing Barris plays his role rather broadly. The movie was a project of George Clooney, who directs and acts. It was a well paced movie, never boring, but unsatisfying. The movie seemed to be making some important point about Hollywood, but I didn't get it. Maybe it would make sense to people in the business.
