F. Scott Fitzgerald and 'The Last of the Belles'

on BBC Two England

starring
F. Scott Fitzgerald 's autobiographical short story. The Last of the Belles, fictionalises his first meeting with his wife Zelda. This play within a play, made for American television, portrays Fitzgerald with his wife and child in 1928, when he was about to write the story-and then slips back to 1919, to Tarleton, Georgia, where a young officer, Andy McKenna , first sets eyes on Ailie Calhoun ...
The best and most faithful capturing of the Fitzgerald mood and quality.
