Grey Gardens / The Beales of Grey Gardens - Criterion Collection (2-disc set)
Meet Big and Little Edie Beale—high society dropouts, mother and daughter, reclusive cousins of Jackie O.—thriving together amid the decay and disorder of their ramshackle East Hampton mansion. An impossibly intimate portrait and an eerie echo of the Kennedy Camelot, Albert and David Maysles’s 1975 Grey Gardens has since become a cult classic and established Little Edie as fashion icon and philosopher queen.
Customer Review: Little Edie Beale: A Fascinating Female Residing in Grey Gardens
The original filming of the documentary followed the lives of Big & Little Edie Beale in the early-mid 70s, well before reality tv & paparrazi began barraging us with images of celebrities alongside average Americans. Watching the film gives a feeling of watching something you shouldn’t be seeing, knowing the Kennedy & Bouvier clans probably shuddered in their shoes when they heard about it being released. (The Beales are close relatives of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis.) Edie’s change of outfits, singing, & endless philosophizing are fascinating to watch, yet at the same time you feel a bit melancholic for her. The new bonus disc is quite a treat with footage never before available from the hours of filming done by the Maysles’ brothers. Buy it for your collection & you will always have something interesting to watch & discuss when you have a dinner party. A unique gem!

Customer Review: Useful Information, but….
I found this software to provide much information about the vegetables one would grow in a garden, however, it doesn’t seem practical. When you use the software to design your garden, It will put highest growing crops where they should be but doesn’t seem to consider crops such as pumpkins and certain squashes that vine and stretch, into consideration. it would have you divide your crops in strange configurations and not take into consideration that the pumpkin (for instance), will grow into your other plants. Not exactly what I would call smart design. It has it’s merits though, in it’s information about plants. But when it comes down to laying out your garden, it needs a bit of help determining how plants grow outward, not just up ward!
