The Great Gatsby on DVD

Description

Academy Award winner Mira Sorvino heads a prestigious cast in this sumptuous adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel of doomed love and ambition, considered by many to be the one of the greatest American love stories. The Great Gatsby is set in the volatile Jazz Age of the 1920s. It is the story of Jay Gatsby (Toby Stephens), a poor boy whose love for rich golden girl Daisy Buchanan (Mira Sorvino) is the catalyst that leads to his rise, and ultimate demise, in the society whose respect he craves. The tangled tale of wealth and entitlement, love and longing is told by Daisy's cousin Nick Carraway (Paul Rudd), a quiet but sophisticated observer. Written by John McLaughlin (The Black Swan) and produced by Tom Thayer (Hitchcock).
