one of my favorite oldies.Candice had just left the University of Pennsylvania where she literally stopped traffic on campus because of her beauty (I actually saw it happen!).She never looked as good in films as she did in real life at that time.I believe that the line Eliot Gould uses when he's had enough of the professor's comments about Fitzgerald's homosexuality is that yes it could be possible that he was a homosexual but that it sure would be news to Sheila Graham (not Zelda) with whom he had an apparently scandalous affair when he was in Hollywood trying to make money.I was in college during that era and there its a fairly good representation of the way things were then and indicative of the nuttiness of that era

I finally managed to get through the film with the aid of modern technology i.e. a dvr that plays back at 300x.What I enjoy the most about the database are the comments posted.Some of the writers should be teaching creative English at the university level although I secretly suspect that all the people who aced those courses didn't get jobs at the New York Times or become mainstream film critics and I know that IMDb reviewers have no reason to distort the truth or are getting paid off.Sometimes the only redeeming social aspect of some of these films are the comments made by the Silent Majority (was that Jerry Falwell or Spiro Agnew who coined that term ? or was it niggling naybobs of negativism ?) who have suffered through really awful films and are willing to share their pain with us
