A semi-fictional account of how writer F Scott Fitzgerald met his wife while he was in the army and stationed inAlabama.
The amazing Richard Chamberlain as F. Scott Fitzgerald gives an outstanding performance, with the wonderful Blythe Danner as his zany wife Zelda. The couple have just returned from Europe, deeply in debt from a very high style of living. Their marriage is showing visible signs of stress, and Zelda has become quiet and moody, distancing herself from her pompous husband. This is a story within a story, depicting the courtship of the writer, while stationed in the army during WWI. The fabulous Susan Sarandon plays Ailie Calhoun and David Hoffman is Andy McKenna. This charming love story, was Fitzgerald's attempt to correct the flaws in his own marriage, by causing a fictional story to unfold, as he wished his own would in real life. Brilliant actors bring romance, young passion, and the realities of life in the Deep South during WW1, to this wonderful drama.
