The old Great Gatsby: suggested readings before Baz Luhrmann's film




While waiting to see the new Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby, I have found some nice readings offered by the BFI.
First of all, discoveries from Jack Clayton's archive will become available at the BFI Reuben Library for all film researchers. Meanwhile, this great article offers previews on some extracts from Clayton's work, unforgettable director of 1974 The Great Gatsby starring Robert Redford and Mia Farrow.



Other interesting quick readings on the subject:
