Jack Clayton's version of THE GREAT GATSBY was adapted for the screen by Francis Ford Coppola from F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 masterpiece about a handsome and enigmatic tycoon betrayed by the American Dream. Though self-made millionaire Jay Gatsby (Robert Redford) has been in love with the spoiled Daisy Buchanan (Mia Farrow) since his days as a poor boy in the Midwest, she's now married to a boorish philanderer (Bruce Dern) and seems more out of reach than ever. Gatsby's attempts to win Daisy back result in his tragic downfall, as witnessed and narrated by his neighbor and friend Nick Carraway (Sam Waterston). The result is a richly successful evocation of the Jazz Age and a tragic portrait of shallow lives ruined by wealth, brilliantly acted by Redford, Waterston, Dern, and the rest of the supporting cast.

A beautiful film with great music and costuming. A treat in every way. But it wouldn't be quite as great without Sam Waterston narrating as Nick Carraway. The film is faithful to the F. Scott Fitzgerald book, even the dialogue.
I missed reading the "Great Gatsby" in high school, but I'd always wondered about it. When I saw Overstock had it, I decided to give it a try. I had no idea what to expect, as I've never really heard anything about this movie, but I've loved any movie Robert Redford has been in, so I bought it. This movie's ability to immerse one in the 1920's era is amazing. I loved watching every minute of it, until the pool scene at the end, as I didn't think it would actually happen. For those of you who haven't seen it, you'll have to watch it to find out--like I did! Overall it was a wonderfully made movie, but the story line threw me for a loop! I will definitely watch this movie again--just give me a little time to recover!
