Review of F. Scott Fitzgerald and 'the Last of the Belles'

An author(Chamberlain) working on his new opus tries to reach reconciliation with his first love, Zelda, in the midst of WW1, Stars: Richard Chamberlain, Susan Sarandon. If you enjoy drawing room dramas of the upper class, you might enjoy this film. The film revolves around the self-absorbed rich and their daily concerns and pretentious lives. Chamberlain works well in this film. The upscale dialog and scenes got to be totally boring. I had a hard time relating or finding these characters relevant and empathetic to the plot. Most roles were actors portraying social dinosaurs that haven't learned their rich world is collapsing under their velor slipper-ed pampered feet. The WW1 scenes were squeaky clean and just more officers drinking tea and complaining about the mail from home being late to the battleground. Sarandon seems to be out-of-place and her on screen work was completely lacking her usual edginess. This one will put you to sleep in a hurry.
