Scott Fitzgerald was the darling and the genius of the Jazz Age - and died at 44 in obscure poverty in Hollywood in 1940. Author of The Great Gatsby and Tender is the Night, his literary success began at the top and plummeted downwards through his tormented lifetime.
This dramatised film authentically re-creates his moving and tragic marriage to Zelda, her lapse into madness, and his 'crack-up' - the last unhappy years of alcoholism. Always curiously prophetic about his own fate, Fitzgerald examines his life entirely in his own words, adapted from his fiction and private letters.
