The Saturday Post: The greater Great Gatsby edition
First there was The Great Gatsby, the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, in 1925.
Soon came the first movie version in 1929, of which no copies remain...
Then this in 1949 (here, the first 14 minutes as no trailer could be found; no need to watch the entire clip)...
Next was the unforgettable Robert Redford and Mia Farrow version in 1974...
And a forgettable—daresay, unknown—TV version in 2000, with, yes, Paul Rudd...
Now this: The ultimate Baz Luhrmann treatment, coming December 2012...
Looks like my plans for Christmas Day evening are set.
Today's question:
Which Great Gatsby have you seen? Which would you like to see?
