An updated transcript of the story "Babylon Revisited" (1930), which was published in the Saturday Evening Post and The Telegraph in 1931. Sobriety from the Jazz Age is replaced by post-war depression, which was never the same, but so be it. In the 1950s, they searched for a way to film F. Scott Fitzgerald's texts mainly in American television, and this is the only feature film of that decade. The performance of the emerging star Elizabeth Taylor is important, while everything else is relatively insignificant, including the too-obvious effort to transform the main character Charles Wills (played by Van Johnson) to merge with Fitzgerald's fictional alter ego. That was especially vain because as we know, Fitzgerald died even before Pearl Harbor.
