4.0 out of 5 stars Sean Young *is* the Fitzgerald Girl, January 24, 2001

Sean Young is perfectly cast as an F. Scott Fitgerald heroine in this good PBS adaptation of one of his short stories. She captures the brittle charm, beauty, and underlying vulnerability of the Jazz Age girls he wrote about. She would have made a great Daisy Buchanan. This isn't one of Fitzgerald's best stories, but it very much captures his distinctive style, mood, and favorite subjects--money, fashion, and their ephemeral power.

This review is from: Under the Biltmore Clock (DVD)

I had never heard of this story by Scott Fitzgerald although I read all his novels, some several times. So, when I found this on the shelf at the library I was intrigued, checked it out and I was not disappointed when I saw it.

The jazz era is interesting and colorful in itself--the costumes and settings are fun to look at. This cast is excellent. Sean Young is very convincing as the beautiful, self-assured young flapper who goes after the rich but shy Knowleton Whitney, who is wonderfully played by Lenny Von Dohlen. There's an amusing group of characters who inhabit the Whitney estate in Westchester County, NY.

The story takes you on some surprising turns as you watch the progress of this romance. The ending is terrific---no, I won't spoil it for you. I recommend this film especially to anyone who likes Scott-Fitzgerald but I think anyone would enjoy it.

Great movie. I had seen it many years ago and remembered it was touching and well-acted. It is. I would recommend it highly.
