It’s December 29th, 1919, and Perry Parkhurst has a plan. Tired of his lengthy engagement to Betty Medill, he's armed with a marriage license and a proposal. However, when things don’t go according to plan, a bellyful of champagne sees our forlorn hero turning up to a fancy dress party dressed as a camel. The same party that Betty turns up at... Laugh-out-loud funny and full of wry observations on the interactions between men and women, ‘The Camel’s Back’ is a must for those who want to see Fitzgerald at his most playful. F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) is one of the greatest American novelists of the 20th century and the author of the classics ‘Tender is the Night’ and ‘The Great Gatsby’, with the latter having been made into a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan. Skillfully capturing the prosperity of post-World War One America, his writing helped illustrate the 1920s Jazz Age that he and his wife Zelda Fitzgerald were at the centre of.
