It is the French Riviera in the 1920s. Nicole & Dick Diver are a wealthy, elegant, magnetic couple. A coterie of admirers are drawn to them, none more so than the blooming young starlet Rosemary Hoyt. When Rosemary falls for Dick, the Diver`s calculated perfection begins to crack. As dark truths emerge, Fitzgerald shows both the disintegration of a marriage & the failure of idealism. ” Tender is the Night” is as sad as it is beautiful.
