Movies set in Manhattan romanticize the place to death, very effectively. Especially with a little jazz in the soundtrack. It can even make the miserable-in-real-life, starving-artist narrative seem romantic. And it can take a thoroughly wretched, cantankerous writer and make her fascinating. The very fine “Can You Ever Forgive Me?” is a perfect example of this.
