The movie can't see this through all its giant closeups of pretty knees and dancing feet. It's frivolous without being much fun.
New York Times

Director Jack Clayton seems overawed by the opulence of the production as well as by the mythic presence of Fitzgerald -- and the result is a film of shimmering surface brilliance and almost complete lack of focus or substance. Full Review

Clayton is so obsessed with respecting the story that he turns it into a museum piece; you see the actors going through the paces of dramatizing a classic, rather than finding the heartbeat underneath. Full Review

3 stars out of 5 -- Bruce Dern and Karen Black bring pizzazz to the party as Farrow's thug of a husband and his mistress respectively.

The folly of the film, lies, I think, in the damage done to the character of the narrator. Full Review

It's all very glittering, but where's the gold, the true gold? Full Review

The film is faithful to the letter of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel but entirely misses its spirit. Full Review

Product Description:

Jack Clayton's version of THE GREAT GATSBY was adapted for the screen by Francis Ford Coppola from F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 masterpiece about a handsome and enigmatic tycoon betrayed by the American Dream. Though self-made millionaire Jay Gatsby (Robert Redford) has been in love with the spoiled Daisy Buchanan (Mia Farrow) since his days as a poor boy in the Midwest, she's now married to a boorish philanderer (Bruce Dern) and seems more out of reach than ever. Gatsby's attempts to win Daisy back result in his tragic downfall, as witnessed and narrated by his neighbor and friend Nick Carraway (Sam Waterston). The result is a richly successful evocation of the Jazz Age and a tragic portrait of shallow lives ruined by wealth, brilliantly acted by Redford, Waterston, Dern, and the rest of the supporting cast.
