Tender is the Night (1962) follows the tumultuous life of a wealthy but troubled woman from the 1920s, portrayed by Jennifer Jones. The film, originally envisioned by David O. Selznick as a starring vehicle for his wife, was eventually produced by 20th Century-Fox due to financial constraints. Jones' character marries her psychiatrist, played by Jason Robards Jr., and they settle at her luxurious Riviera estate. As Jones' character gains emotional strength, her husband's analytical abilities decline, leading to a complex dynamic of emotional and financial dependence. The narrative is enriched by a cast of equally troubled supporting characters, including an alcoholic composer (Tom Ewell) and Jones' greedy sister (Joan Fontaine). The film delves deeply into themes of mental health and self-destruction, offering a poignant yet somber exploration of human frailty.
