The Great Gatsby
1974
**
Director: Jack Clayton
Cast: Robert Redford, Mia Farrow, Bruce Dern, Karen Black, Scott Wilson
This dull adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel captures the glossy surface of the life in the Jazz Age, but it's not able to bring its tragic characters alive, and the resulting film feels like an overlong costume show. Scripted by Francis Ford Coppola.
