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 key themes of greed, cynicism, and the mindless pursuit of pleasure.

Robert Redford, as Gatsby, is shown here in his pink suit. I wonder if men really wore pink suits in the 1920s? Sam Waterston as Nick and Bruce Dern as Tom look mighty sporty in their suits as well.

The 1920s were an era of unprecedented affluence and material prosperity, but they were also marred by moral and ethical bankruptcy. Sound familiar?

Later Pink-Suited Gaters!
