Movie Haiku:The conjoined Hilton Twins are given perfunctory treatment in this "Old Photos/Talking Heads" doc. Zemeckis succeeds in showing the evolution of public entertainment from Sideshows thru Vaudeville (with guest appearances from folks like Houdini), but never confronts the psychology of the twins or the quiet tragedy of their "sister" Edith. NOT YET SEEN BY RICH.
