Storyline
THE HAMPTONS, New York -- A delightful ride through a singular literary career, Plimpton! Starring George Plimpton as Himself goes a way toward illuminating a character who could both steer the literati toward new talent in The Paris Review and don pink tights for an amateur trapeze act on national TV. Tom Bean and Luke Poling's film is enough fun to justify theatrical release, even if it lacks something of the populist appeal that irked some of the author's peers.
