In spite of good acting, it isn't too successful at invading the worlds of psychoanalysis and the very rich, who fascinated Fitzgerald so. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Thomas Z Aug 12 Movie was way too long and my main annoyance was the music often drowned out the dialog. The flashback trick didn't work for me either. T6he acting was ok for a sophomoric screenplay. See more Beverly E. L Aug 9 Beautiful sets. Not much else to recommend it. See more Victor T 07/16/2023 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. See more 08/21/2021 You'll immediately get tired of Jennifer Jones saying "Dick." See more 10/13/2016 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. See more 10/30/2013 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. See more Read all reviews
