Returning from the battlefields of World War I, an impoverished young soldier learns the love of his life has married into a wealthy family and moved to Long Island's fabled Gold Coast. Obsessed with rekindling their romance, he reinvents himself as the mysteriously prosperous Jay Gatsby, throws scandalously lavish parites at his glittering mansion, and waits for his chance. But when that chance comes, it comes at a price as terrible as it is inevitable. A richly produced, powerfully evocative vision of this unparalleled American classic. [from DVD label].
