Movie Haiku:Jan went with her BFF Dorthea (who is a big tennis fan). Dory already knew most of the details, while Jan knew almost none. Both found the storytelling fascinating, putting the audience "there" to participate vicariously in the extraordinary lives of these two phenomenal tennis stars: individuals yes, but also sisters & teammates. BRAVA! (Not yet seen by Rich.)
