Negative Positive
Title: Entertaining, yet penetrating.
Review: I guess this is the type of movie that students are expected to watch and write reports on and that's kinda too bad, because the American Short Stories series is definitely one of the best series on TV.This F. Scott Fitzgerald story is one of the best from the series as it captures the attitude of the times, the '20's. The teenagers are all affecting such sophistication. Bernice isn't used to this New York City sophistication, and is painfully shy at first on her visit, but finds herself prodded and pushed. The lesson is eventually learned, the lesson that it's best to be yourself since nobody else can do as good a job at being you as you can.Importantly, the lesson is given to us in a most entertaining manner. One who hasn't become acquainted with Fitzgerald should find this taste of his skills addictive.Well worth watching.
