Details: Great Gatsby, The (1974) (DVD) This third film version of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic 1925 novel was one of the most hyped movies of the summer of 1974. Robert R edford star s as self-made millionaire Jay Gatsby, who uses his vast (and implicitly ill-gotten) fortune to buy his way into Long Isl and society. Most of a ll, Gatsby wants to win back the love of socialite Daisy Buchanan (Mia F arrow), now married to "old money" Tom Buchanan (Bruce Dern). Calmly ob serving the passing parade is Nick Carraway (Sam Waterston), Gatsby's be st friend, who narrates the film. Francis Ford Coppola's screenplay is meticulously faithful to the original novel, but Theoni Aldridge's costu me design and Ne lson Riddle's nostalgic musical score won the film its only Oscars. The huge supporting cast includes Howard da Silva, who play ed To m Wilson in the 1949 Great Gatsby, and a very young Patsy Kensit a s Daisy's daughter. ]]>
