You saw the first version of Great Gatsby? Where did you see it? I would love to see it, but , the last I heard, no known copies of the movie exist.

Sadly, the first movie version of The Great Gatsby, from 1926, is lost, as are so many films from the early twentieth century. But if a copy is ever discovered, I'll run out and see it.

Although the story is set in 1922, the 2913 film version featured disco music and dancing and cars from the latter part of the decade. Anachronisms always turn me off.

A surprise, I will say, the one I recognize is the one from I believe 1974 with Robert Redford as Gatsby. It really made the 2013 one not feel as good to me.
