Synopsis

A drama dealing with the famed novelist's two markedly contrasting stays in the film capital: first in 1927, at the height of his popularity with the widespread acclaim for "The Great Gatsby", when he and Zelda dazzled Hollywood; then in 1937, with Zelda in a sanitarium and expenses mounting, when a romance developed with ambitious columnist Sheilah Graham that bolstered him in his bouts with illness and alcoholism. Much of the same creative talent also was involved with the earlier "F. Scott Fitzgerald and 'The Last of the Belles'"(1974).
