Anecdotes
The television film depicts both Zelda Fitzgerald (Blythe Danner) and her fictionalized counterpart Ailie Calhoun (Susan Sarandon) as a Southern belle who is politically indifferent to ongoing societal events. Yet, according to Nancy Milford's award-winning biography "Zelda" (1970), Zelda Fitzgerald was politically active throughout her life. She often attended weekly meetings of the Daughters of the Confederacy. As she aged, Zelda became increasingly reactionary in her political views. According to Milford's biography, Zelda became "taken with the idea of fascism as a way of holding everything together, of ordering the masses." When an acquaintance visited Zelda in March 1947, she declared that fascism served "to keep things from falling apart and to keep the finer things from being lost or extinguished."

Zelda Fitzgerald: Seems like no matter who you start out writin' about, it always turns out to be about us. Poor Goofo. I reckon you think that if you write the story often enough maybe some time, some way, it will have a happy ending.

SARANDON & CHAMBERLAIN MADE A CLASSIC TOGETHER!

Viewed this TV film in 1974 and after seeing "THE GREAT GATSBY", it was a big let down. Just recently I viewed this film again and it had an entire different meaning, Susan Sarandon and Richard Chamberlain made this a great short story film of drama, romance and young passoniate love. The director, George Schaefer, clearing showed what life was like during WW1, the music, the Southern way of living and the same exact situations America had to face when going to War and having to say goodby to their sweethearts and the broken hearts. At times I found myself getting mad at Susan, she just seemed to give all the men in her life a hard time and made you want to see her an OLD MAID! That is good acting and that is why this film is a great Classic to view.
