Elliott Nugent's direction skips along the surface of the era depicted. The script doesn't give him much substance to work with. Full Review

This scores over Jack Clayton's lavish and longer 1974 version by the casting of Alan Ladd as Gatsby, so much more convincing as a man with a dark and mysterious past than one-dimensional glamour-puss Robert Redford. Full Review
Time Out

The F. Scott Fitzgerald characters never come entirely to life. Alan Ladd tries hard as the fated young opportunist. Full Review

Not much is made of the 20s Long Island setting and, like the other film versions, it fails to capture the elusive style of the novel. Full Review

Rating: 1.5/5 -- Cyril Hume and Richard Maibaum have achieved a dutiful plotting of the novel without the substance of life that made it stick. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- Elliott Nugent directs with some atmospheric touches, but can't counter screenwriter Richard Maibaum's verbosity. Full Review

Product Description:

The second screen adaptation (after the silent 1926 version) of Fitzgerald's story features a fine performance by Ladd in the Nick Carraway role. A searching young man observes the Jazz Age society of Long Island as go-between for an upwardly mobile gangster and a frivolous woman trying to rekindle a romantic spark.
