Nick Carraway moves from the Midwest to New York a bond salesman and finds himself the neighbor of Jay Gatsby. He's a wealthy bootlegger and forger, who has a huge estate bordering his modest cottage. Gatsby is well-known for throwing fabulous, hedonistic summer parties in 1922 West Egg, Long Island. Gatsby befriends Nick and enlists him in to broker a meeting between him and his former love Daisy Buchanen, Nick's cousin. She is now married to the snobbish and selfish Tom Buchanen, who flaunts an extramarital affair he is having with the proletarian wife of a local garage owner. Nick consents to arrange a meeting with Gatsby and Daisy, a rendezvous that will have tragic consequences. Written by duke1029@aol.com
The Great Gatsby, which premiered Jan. 14 on A & E, was one of the better 'Great Gatsby' versions I have seen to date. Infinitely better than the 1974 movie, this Gatsby re-make has excellent acting, realistic costumes, and a down-to-earth, heartbreaking tone which propels the movie beyond the bounds of mediocre and into something sorrowful and wonderful to watch.
