When this adaptation came out it was negatively received and became a fiasco.
Opinions ought to be revised upwards.
The film is quite faithful to the book but it has a number of irritating qualities. Hardly any of this speech has a natural rhythm. The sound is dubbed, too much so. It has the echoey quality which is excellent when it stresses the vastness of Gatsby's house, but then this spreads to other sounds and speeches. There's an overdone moody solemnity about the picture.
