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.

User Reviews: The Great Gatsby (1974)

  • Overall:

    The Not So Great Gatsby

    By msdpu  May 24, 2005

    Pros: Costumes, Sets

    Cons: Everything else!

    What a disappointment! I was certainly hoping this movie would live up to the book, and it failed miserably! The acting, especially by Robert Redford, was absolutley atrocious. The characters had no passion or were interesting. It was very frusturati...ng to sit through the movie and watch the train wreck on the screen. Although the costumes and set were impressive, the movie overall was terrible because of the bad actors and poor script. Read more Less

  • Overall:

    rubbish theme

    By mike t  Sep 3, 2002

    drunkeness, disloyalty and petty viciousness among the rich elite during the Depression years. Why should anyone care? The novels by S FitzG were written about cookooland, the films on their themes are equal to the task
