Description

To the victor go the spoils. Anthony and Gloria Patch are the bright lights of the 1920s New York smart set, leading a life of luxury, idleness and indulgence. But Jazz Age glamour comes at a price, and with Anthony's inheritance uncertain, the couple's decadent lifestyle begins to fall apart. Anthony is unable to hold down a job, and the pair descend into alcoholism and depression as their finances and marriage collapse. Fitzgerald's tale of squandered talent is a defining work of the Lost Generation.
