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.

I thought the Redford one was pretty good. Not great but good.

I have read a biography of F. Scot and Zelda and there is quite a bit of both in Gatsby. A Southern girl with an American officer is almost autobiographical.

F. Scot was stationed at Montgomery’s Maxwell Field in WWI and Zelda was from Montgomery. Her Father was chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court.
