  • The background photo is from Robert Steven Williams' 'Gatsby in Connecticut: The Untold Story." The sepia photo, from the 1920s, features American author F. Scott Fitzgeralld (right) in a military uniform, and his wife, Zelda, in a strapless evening gown. The photo is repeated and overlaid on top, with a red color effect that distorts the photo. On top the repeated photo sits the logo of Amazon Prime Video. Below the logo, text reads "This video is currently unavailable to watch in your location"
