The Beautiful and Damned
By F. Scott Fitzgerald
Anthony Patch and his beautiful wife Gloria wait for the inheritance of his grandfather’s fortune, but in the meantime, they live a life of leisure. However, their reckless marriage starts to deteriorate under the influence of alcohol, ambition and greed. The once golden couple slowly loses its spark. The excesses of the New York nightlife aren’t as glittering as it seems. This devastating portrait of a promising couple paints the beginning of the Jazz Age. What looks like a dream of opulence might just be an artificial lie.
