A rather free and updated version of the famous Scott Fitzgerald short story, which was itself inspired by an actual incident at a Hollywood party given by Irving Thalberg and his wife Norma Shearer. At the party, a drunken Fitzgerald had made a fool of himself by singing a sentimental song, something which is said by several of his biographers to have done him great harm in the movie community.
