Description
In 1939 Scott is living in Hollywood, a virulent alcoholic and deeply in debt. Despite his relationship with gossip columnist Sheila Graham, he remains fiercely loyal to Zelda, his soul mate and muse. In an attempt to fuse together their fractured marriage, Scott arranges a trip to Cuba, where, after a disastrous first night in Havana, the couple runs off to a beach resort outside the city. But even in paradise, Scott and Zelda cannot escape the dangerous intensity of their relationship.Tags

Mentioned many times, I wait for Hemingway larger than life character to arrive. Never did though we were teased to believe he just may burst on the scene.
I am, as always, distressed by Zelda's bi-polar disorder, so treatable today. I am enthralled with her wit, her unbelievable athletism, her plethora of talents including dancing, writing, and painting!
The roots of F. Scott's talent was actually inspired and stolen from Zelda.
