The Great Gatsby 1974 edition

It doesnt get any better than this; as much as I liked the modern Gatsby, it still cant beat this classic with Robert Redford & Mia Farrow. Excellent version that actually follows the book, unlike the more modern version. Its full of all sorts of nuances that I feel F. Scott Fitzgerald would have appreciated.

This is the best version made. Awesome deal!

At least with F. Scott Fitzgeralds book, there was enough substance to keep reading, but this was too much in-your-face noise thrown at you. I get that it was to be a 20s era, but enough with the loud party scenes, just so that costuming can assault your senses. Acting was cold. There was no more personality in Redfords performance than that of Mia Farrow. Both characters came across that they had signed up to do the movie, but they left passion at home. I find it hard to recommend this movie.

Love it. Amazing how a man can spend his entire life in pursuit of something that never was. He ignored life around him and in the end it killed him.

I’ve always wanted to own this movie since I first viewed it on television many years ago. Since there are rarely any classic movie movies out today in tv, i’am now happy to own this movie!

I purchased this DVD to show to my 11th grade English class, as we just finished reading the novel. The DVD was exactly as advertised and a good quality product. The film itself isnt my favorite adaptation (the actors all seem a little disconnected and bored), but it certainly helped my students with our project analyzing the story!

failed the 12 minute test

This movie is one that I come back to at least once a year for its cinematography, sound track, and acting. If you have not watched, please do. Much better than the 2013 version--although Leo DiCaprio is a national treasure, Robert Redford IS Gatsby.

Great script

Hreat acting and costumes...and a young Robert Redfod. Never really much of a Mia Farrow famd, but I cannot imagine anyone else for the role. Certainly not your happily, everafter romance. Shows a part of society tbst had everything, except reality-
