Hell on Heels: The Battle of Mary Kay (2002) (TV)

Based on a true story, this film tells the story of the aging founder of a direct-sales cosmetics company, and the struggles of an ambitious competitor for leadership in their field of work.

Even though the storyline doesn't lend itself to flights of genius, the writing is solid and very much in the style of classic Hollywood; the direction is visually modern and energetic. The acting is uniformly phenomenal, from the two leads right down to the tiniest bit part.

Rating: 56
