Zelig

Woody Allen's fake documentary Zelig features the only available film material of Fitzgerald. The few second clip shows Fitzgerald while he is sitting at a desk writing a letter. Of course, Allen's commentary claims that he's writing about human chameleon Zelig. The episode is placed right at the beginning of the movie.

Beloved Infidel

Beloved Infidel is based on Sheila Graham's account of the time she spent with Fitzgerald during his Hollywood years. The movie ends with Fitzgerald's premature death. Gregory Peck stars as Fitzgerald, while Graham is being played by Deborah Kerr. The movie is overly melodramatic, but if one forgets about the real story behind it, it's quite enjoyable as typical Hollywood fare of the 50s.
