Jennifer Jones as the troubled central character is fascinating to watch. Her beauty is untouchable. Joan Fontaine in a supporting role is strangely bizarre. Jason Robards shines as the main character.

You'll immediately get tired of Jennifer Jones saying "Dick."

Tender is the Night adaptation had the same feeling of the novel, too bad the characters were underdeveloped and the film was a little bit too long to be my liking.

Ponderous, overlong adaptation of Fitzgerald's final published novel. Jones is completely wrong in the lead, at least a decade and a half too old and of the wrong temperament, Robards is a great actor but similarly miscast. Jill St. John looks great but doesn't get under the skin of her character. A botched enterprise that looks beautiful but is empty.

In spite of good acting, it isn't too successful at invading the worlds of psychoanalysis and the very rich, who fascinated Fitzgerald so.

Synopsis

Against the counsel of his friends, psychiatrist Dick Diver (Jason Robards Jr.) marries Nicole Warren (Jennifer Jones), a beautiful but unstable young woman from a moneyed family. Thoroughly enraptured, he forsakes his career in medicine for life as a playboy, until one day Dick is charmed by Rosemary Hoyt (Jill St. John), an American traveling abroad. The thought of Dick possibly being attracted to someone else sends Nicole on an emotional downward spiral that threatens to consume them both.
