Reception and criticism[edit]
The film received mixed reviews both for content and for historical accuracy, and was criticized by all three of Dynasty's leads—John Forsythe, Linda Evans, and Joan Collins — in separate press releases.[2] The New York Times called it "funny" and "less satirical than it has been billed" with "some serious moments, which it doesn't overplay."[1]
As noted in the film itself, dramatic license is taken with both the historical timeline and events, as well as the fictional storylines originally presented on Dynasty. It was produced primarily in Australia, with several non-American cast members.
