Brillant psychiatre dans une clinique suisse, Richard Diver tombe amoureux de Nicole Warren, une patiente aussi riche qu’instable sur le plan émotionnel. Il la soigne, la guérit et l’épouse en dépit des mises en garde de son mentor, le Dr. Dohmler, qui l’avertit des risques qu’il prend pour sa carrière. Et, effectivement, peu à peu, Diver délaisse la psychiatrie pour mener une paisible et opulente existence, notamment dans le Sud de la France. S’il aime toujours sa femme, il ne résistera cependant pas au charme et à la jeunesse de Rosemary Hoyt, une starlette de cinéma… (BQHL Éditions)

This film production was defined by the Hollywood situation in the early 60s, with posters advertising CinemaScope and De Luxe colors, and its theme song was nominated for an Oscar... The previous film by director Henry King was F. Scott Fitzgerald's biopic Beloved Infidel, yet even with such exposure, it did not help create the ideal adaptation. Perhaps if Jane Fonda, who was interested in the role of Rosemary, had been given the opportunity, there would have been more interest in the film even today, with a chance for a better copy. Because that's all it is about: slow widescreen color images that have no substance or soul, and of course, fail miserably as a period piece because it is impossible to believe in the 1920s even by mistake. Relatively decent adaptations of Scott's stories only began to emerge in the 70s and beyond. I'm quite looking forward to the BBC series Tender Is the Night.
