Film: The Great Gatsby (1974), Friday, 19th Sept, 7.40pm, Wagner Hall, Brighton

DIRECTOR: Jack Clayton​
STARRING: Robert Redford, Mia Farrow, Sam Waterson, Bruce Dern, & Karen Black.

Infamously tricky to bring to the screen, the 1974 adaptation is perhaps the most faithful to Fitzgerald’s novel, while wisely becoming its own distinct cinematic vision. Scripted by Francis Ford Coppola (of The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, and more), reworking an earlier draft by Truman Capote, and directed by Jack Clayton (Room at the Top, The Innocents), this version plays Gatsby as a kind of ghost story.
