Free The Great Gatsby full movies online

Free full movies online The Great Gatsby This third film version of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic 1925 novel was one of the most hyped movies of the summer of 1974. Robert Redford stars as self-made millionaire Jay Gatsby, who uses his vast (and implicitly ill-gotten) fortune to buy his way into Long Island society. Most of all, Gatsby wants to win back the love of socialite Daisy Buchanan (Mia Farrow), now married to "old money" Tom Buchanan (Bruce Dern). Calmly observing the passing parade is Nick Carraway (Sam Waterston), Gatsby's best friend, who narrates the film. Francis Ford Coppola's screenplay is meticulously faithful to the original novel, but Theoni V. Aldredge's costume design and Nelson Riddle's nostalgic musical score won the film its only Oscars. The huge supporting cast includes Howard Da Silva, who played Wilson in the 1949 Great Gatsby, and a very young Patsy Kensit as Daisy's daughter. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi Release Date The Great Gatsby Mar 29, 1974 Limited

Review For The Great Gatsby
The Francis Coppola script and Jack Clayton's direction paint a savagely genteel portrait of an upper class generation that deserved in spades what it got circa 1929 and after. Variety Staff-Variety 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. Don Druker-Chicago Reader The movie can't see this through all its giant closeups of pretty knees and dancing feet. It's frivolous without being much fun. Vincent Canby-New York Times The movie is 'faithful' to the novel with a vengeance -- to what happens in the novel, that is, and not to the feel, mood, and spirit of it. Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times The color is rich, the photography superb, and the atmospherics of the roaring twenties are realistically and stunningly in evidence in this film version of F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece novel, but that's it. -TV Guide's Movie Guide A literary adaptation that continually begs detrimental comparison with the novel, this relies too much on appearance, making little attempt to explore behind the beguiling '20s façade. Derek Adams-Time Out Too slow, too dull. Redford lacked the danger of Fitzgerald's creation. Bob Bloom-Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Despite oppulent production values, Jack Clayton's second Hollywood version of Fitzgerald's great novel is a misfire, a dull feature that suffers from lack of chemistry between Robert Redford and Mia Farrow (who's miscast). Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com One of Redford's best Clint Morris-Moviehole Gatsby looks great (hey, it's Robert Redford ...) in a widescreen, enhanced for 16:9 television sets aspect ratio. Kurt Dahlke-Apollo Guide Though lush in nearly every way, under the reproachful eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg, The Great Gatsby becomes ineffectual and rudderless. Kurt Dahlke-Apollo Guide Law & Order's Sam Waterston is superb in support Lori Hoffman-Atlantic City Weekly Call it a convincing argument for separation of book and film. Cynthia Fuchs-PopMatters Robert Redford offers an interesting take on mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby. Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing 1974's The Great Gatsby may be one of those hit-and-miss affairs that on its initial release missed by a mile with critics and viewers but could just hit it off on DVD. John J. Puccio-Movie Metropolis ...an opulent, stylish extravaganza that may be more faithful to the 'look' of Fitzgerald's novel than to its spirit, yet brings a good deal of entertainment along the way.
