This and That – The Great Gatsby

Greetings! 1974’s “The Great Gatsby” is my favorite movie version of Fitzgerald’s iconic novel. It paints a lush backdrop for the greed, cynicism, and the mind less pursuit of pleasure that are key themes in the novel. Robert Redford, as Gatsby, is shown here in his pink suit. I wonder if men really wore pink suits in the 1920’s? 🤓 Sam Waterston, as Nick, and Bruce Dern, as Tom, look mighty sporty in their suits as well. The 1920’s was an era of unprecedented affluence and material prosperity but was marred by moral and ethical bankruptcy. Sound familiar? Later Pink-Suited Gaters!
