4 Extra Debut. A young actress enters the Riviera circle of a golden couple, not grasping the secrets that connect them. Stars Melody Grove.

Between the First World War and the Wall Street Crash the French Riviera was the stylish place for wealthy Americans to visit.

Among the most fashionable are psychoanalyst Dick Diver and his wife Nicole, who hold court at their villa. Into their circle comes Rosemary Hoyt, a young film star, who is instantly attracted to them, but understands little of the dark secrets that hold them together.

A beautiful and poignant novel about marriage, glamour and disintegration.

Regarded by many as F Scott Fitzgerald’s greatest book - dramatised by Robin Brooks.
