O'CONNOR NEW YORK TIMES NEW YORK Louella Parsons and Hedda Hopper. once the gossiping terrors of Hollywood, are being given the screen biographies they deserve. Less than an inch deep, "Malice in Wonderland," on WJKW Channel 8 at 9 p.m. tomorrow, is as silly as any of their newspaper columns. Jay Benson, the producer for ITC Productions, has decided to play the once formidable ladies mostly for laughs and, with time as a buffer, that approach captures at least the dizziness that was "legendary" Hollywood.
The casting is suitably unreal. "Lolly" Parsons, a pudgy and somewhat dumpy woman, is played by Elizabeth Taylor, the "new" Elizabeth Taylor who has lost weight and is looking very glamorous again. And Hedda Hopper, a rather goofy type partial to outrageous hats, is portrayed by Jane Alexander, an actress of unconcealable intelligence. Both Taylor and Alexander tackle their parts with verve and. in the process, have a good deal of infectious fun.
The Jacqueline Feather- David Seidler script, based on George Eells' book Hedda and Louella, uses the familiar Hollywood device of a showdown, this one held in a restaurant corral named Romanoff's. The year is 1944, and although there is presumably a world war raging, everyone in Los Angeles seems preoccupied with the fact that Parsons and Hopper are meeting face-to-face for lunch. A tall pitcher of martinis arrives, and Parsons observes that the world is "waiting for us to stone each other with olive pits." Flashing back to 1928, the story shows Parsons arriving in Hollywood as a reporter for William Randolph Hearst. In addition to championing Hearst's "protegee," Marion Davies, Parsons is purported to know something about the skeletons in the publisher's closet. With the help of her husband (Jon Cypher), a doctor who obtains medical information on the stars for her, Parsons becomes the gossip queen of tinseltown, demanding 48-hour exclusives and punishing those who don't comply.
The studio producers, led by a scheming Louis B. Mayer (Richard Dysart), are furious. "We run the, studios that make movies that make people think what they think." they cry, "and here we are, scared of this dame." Parsons just goes right on, stacking up expensive gifts under her Christmas tree every year. Hopper is an actress whose bit parts keep getting smaller. She turns to gossip out of desperation and finally gets Mayer to support her as competition to Parsons.
But this ploy, instead of making Parsons weaker, creates two gossip monsters, one more vicious than the other in the race for readers and, later, radio listeners. Hopper can point to her new luxury and quip cheerfully that "this is the house that fear built." Her right-wing Red-baiting is so excessive that she accuses John Wayne of being soft on communism. Directed by Gus Trikonis with a hard-edged feeling for the period and the period's movie styles, "Malice in Wonderland" keeps dropping fairly broad hints as to how really dreadful the two really were, but the film's overall tone is kept as light as the average '30s comedy. Taylor clearly gets a great deal of pleasure from her nifty impersonation of the whining Parsons, and Alexander is marvelous at making Hopper something more than dotty. This is an entertaining glimpse of one side of the Hopper and Parsons story, the one that ends with a wink.
