The Great Gatsby (1949, Elliot Nugent)

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Sep 3, 2019

The Great Gatsby can get away with a lot thanks to lead Alan Ladd, much of it related to the adaptation. Gatsby, the film, does open with “narrator” Macdonald Carey—set in the present, with Carey reminiscing on the grand old Jazz Age. Of course, the Jazz Age looks a little different in Carey’s read more

The Style Essentials--Mia Farrow and Robert Redford in 1974's THE GREAT GATSBY

GlamAmor Posted by on Mar 7, 2018

Since I recently gave a talk on the most influential costume design of the 1920s at Hollywood's Egyptian Theatre, and I'm gearing up to do my next talk on the 1930s on March 17, I can't help be in an Art Deco frame of mind. I regularly discuss the impact of iconic costume design on fashion, but I al read more

Seeing New York from the Outside: Woody Allen, THE GREAT GATSBY, and ON THE TOWN

Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on May 14, 2013

I've had New York on my mind quite a bit lately. It started, I think, with a viewing of Woody Allen's Manhattan (1979), a movie in which the protagonist is more in love with the city than he is with any of the women in his life. Shot in black-and-white, the picture idealizes New York scenery (set ag read more

The Great Gatsby - In Baz We Trust

A Person in the Dark Posted by FlickChick on May 11, 2013

From the moment that I heard Leonardo DiCaprio was cast as Jay Gatsby in Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby," I have been counting the hours until the moment when I could see this on the big screen. It was a long wait, with its planned December 2012 release delayed until now. But, I finally got to don read more

The Great Gatsby: 90 Years of Cinematic Fashion

Pretty Clever Films Posted by Christina Stewart on May 8, 2013

It’s hard to believe that F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby is almost 90 years young!  In just a few days, the Baz Luhrmann version of this classic will be upon us, dazzling its way across the screen with a glittering frenzy that might just make the Charleston seem tame. This will mark read more

The Great Gatsby

MacGuffin Movies Posted by RBuccicone on Dec 4, 2012

The Great Gatsby (1974) I have been sharing a weekly classic movie-viewing experience with my 91-year-old grandmother for going on a year now. Last weekend I brought her the 1974 The Great Gatsby, and it was the first movie she stayed awake all the way through, asked clarifying questions about the read more
