Meanwhile, across the bay, Carraway's cousin Daisy (Carey Mulligan) flounders in her marriage to philandering aristocrat Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton). Inspired by the debauchery on display at Gatsby's wild parties and the lives of the wealthy elite, Carraway begins putting pen to paper as it gradually becomes clear that his cousin and the millionaire share a complicated romantic past that remains unresolved.

F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece is a story that could only hve taken place in the Jazz Age; an era in which recklessness with money, liquor, women, and fast cars pervaded the American consciousness. Robert Redford is Jay Gatsby, the dashing, enigmatic millionaire obsessed with the elusive and spoiled Daisy Buchanan (Mia Farrow). The screen play for this elegant story was conceived with a meticulous concern for languge, time, and place by Francis Ford Coppola. Two Academy Award nominations.
