Summary
A poignant dissection of Jazz Age profligacy, 'Born Rich' navigates the fractured domesticity of a socialite whose transatlantic excursion to France precipitates a catastrophic marital dissolution. Upon her return to the American shore, she encounters a husband ensnared by the ephemeral allure of a 'flapper'—a betrayal she attempts to rectify through a performative dalliance with a jazz virtuoso. This gambit, intended to ignite the embers of jealousy, instead catalyzes a nihilistic descent into dipsomania and serial infidelity, illustrating the hollow resonance of inherited privilege and the fragility of the bourgeois matrimonial contract during the Roaring Twenties.
Synopsis

In order to make him jealous, she leads him to believe she has fallen for a jazz musician. However, instead of making him jealous it drives him into depression and he takes refuge in booze and even more affairs.
