Director Jack Clayton seems overawed by the opulence of the production as well as by the mythic presence of Fitzgerald -- and the result is a film of shimmering surface brilliance and almost complete lack of focus or substance.

Chicago Reader
Perhaps it was my lack of expectations that caused me to be pleasantly surprised.

America Magazine
In sum this picture is a total failure of every requisite sensibility. A long, slow, sickening bore.

The New Republic
The movie can't see this through all its giant closeups of pretty knees and dancing feet. It's frivolous without being much fun.
New York Times
The film is faithful to the letter of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel but entirely misses its spirit.

TIME Magazine
Clayton is so obsessed with respecting the story that he turns it into a museum piece; you see the actors going through the paces of dramatizing a classic, rather than finding the heartbeat underneath.

[With] a Nelson Riddle score, some nice shirts, and top vintage cars.

Product Description:
Jack Clayton's version of THE GREAT GATSBY was adapted for the screen by Francis Ford Coppola from F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 masterpiece about a handsome and enigmatic tycoon betrayed by the American Dream. Though self-made millionaire Jay Gatsby (Robert Redford) has been in love with the spoiled Daisy Buchanan (Mia Farrow) since his days as a poor boy in the Midwest, she's now married to a boorish philanderer (Bruce Dern) and seems more out of reach than ever. Gatsby's attempts to win Daisy back result in his tragic downfall, as witnessed and narrated by his neighbor and friend Nick Carraway (Sam Waterston). The result is a richly successful evocation of the Jazz Age and a tragic portrait of shallow lives ruined by wealth, brilliantly acted by Redford, Waterston, Dern, and the rest of the supporting cast.
