{"product_id":"9337369006925","title":"The Great Gatsby","description":"This second film version of F. Scott Fitzgerald's definitive jazz-age novel \u003ci\u003eThe Great Gatsby\u003c\/i\u003e stars Alan Ladd in the title role. Jay Gatsby, formerly Jake Gatz, is a successful bootlegger with aspirations of being accepted in the highest social circles of Long Island. Once he's done this, Gatsby devotes his time to winning back the love of his former lady friend Daisy (Betty Field), now married to boorish \"old-money\" millionaire Tom Buchanan (Barry Sullivan). Gatsby's obsession with rekindling old flames results in disillusionment and, ultimately, tragedy. Sidelines observer Nick Carraway, the narrator of the original Fitzgerald novel, is expertly played by MacDonald Carey, while Shelley Winters makes an excellent impression as Buchanan's slatternly mistress Myrtle Wilson. Cast as Myrtle's dour optometrist husband is Howard Da Silva, who essayed a minor role in the 1974 remake of \u003ci\u003eGreat Gatsby\u003c\/i\u003e. That 1974 version has unfortunately kept the 1949 \u003ci\u003eGatsby\u003c\/i\u003e from being released to television.","brand":"SUPER D INDEPENDENT DIST.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47094168682736,"sku":"9337369006925","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9337369006925","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
