I was watching "The Great Gatsby" recently…
I watched both the 1974 version with Robert Redford, and the 2013 remake starring Leo DiCaprio. I read the book in high school, back around the time the first movie came out.
Both movies were very well done, but the 1974 version hinted, 2013 spelled a lot of it out. 2013 also had some anachronisms that the earlier movie didn’t.
There was a theme throughout the first movie, Irving Berlin’s "What’ll I Do", a beautiful song where Redford and Mia Farrow danced together. This recording is almost 100 years old now, still very haunting:
