The Great Gatsby

“A Great Cast... A Great Novel... A Great Motion Picture”

Jay Gatsby (Alan Ladd), a millionaire and bootlegger, wants back the woman he loved before the war, Daisy Buchanan (Betty Field). His neighbor on Long Island, Nick Carraway (Macdonald Carey), is a young Midwesterner drawn into the lavish parties and the rumors about where the money came from. Elliott Nugent sets it in the Jazz Age, and Gatsby stands at the edge of his own crowded house, watching.
