The Great Gatsby film versions

The Great Gatsby film version is a romantic drama that was released in 1974.The main cast of the film was Robert Redford, Mia Farrow, Bruce Dern, Karen Black, Scott Wilson, and Sam Waterston. Scripted by one of the top directors of the early 70's and starring the period's hottest leading man, The Great Gatsby was supposed to be the prestige production of the year. Its flaws, however, turned it intodisappointment. With its luxurious period costumes, meticulously rich settings and props, and a cast who all looked the part, this version of The Great Gatsby had all of the surface elements seductively in place. The Great Gatsby is a 1926 silent film adaptation of the novel of the same name by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It was made by the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation and Paramount Pictures, directed by Herbert Brenon and produced by Jesse L. Lasky and Adolph Zukor. The film is a famous example of a lost film, which means it was a film that is no longer known to exist in studio archives. Most silent films are apart of the "lost films".
