The much-delayed "Tulip Fever" finally gets released Friday. Set in the Netherlands in the 17th century, "Tulip Fever" tells the story of an artist who falls for a married woman (Alicia Vikander) while he's commissioned by her husband (Christoph Waltz) to paint her portrait. The lovers invest in the risky tulip market during the period of "tulip mania" in the hopes of building a future together.
