Gatsby's Girl
What if Daisy Buchanan was really a Chicago socialite named Ginevra? Based - loosely - on historical fact, Caroline Preston weaves the tale of the woman who first broke F. Scott Fitzgerald's heart. He is so obsessed with her, though, that he immortalizes her in his major works. As Ginevra grows older with her boring but wealthy husband, Bill, she keeps an eye on Fitzgerald's career. What happens when the unwitting muse reads about her own exploits?

That Hamilton Woman
(DVD) She's not just Scarlett O'Hara - see Vivien Leigh in a role far from Tara. Leigh and Laurence Olivier, in a film directed by Alexander Korda in 1941, tell the story of Lord Horatio Nelson and his mistress. Said to be one of Winston Churchill's favorite movies, this film about war and adultery follows the life of Emma, who is sent to Naples to marry, but falls in love with Lord Nelson on the way. Newlyweds at the time, Leigh and Olivier show their real-life passion on the screen. A must-see for those of us who like to see our favorite actors in different roles.
God and Science: Return Of The Ti-Girls
