The Great Gatsby
Zack Bennett
The Great Gatsby (1974)
1920's Music
The Parties
This party consisted of fast paced dancing, with the classic "flapper" being a very common party guest. The music is also very classic and suits the 1920s era with quick tempo jazz.
The Car
Gatsby's classic yellow Rolls-Royce in 1974 is almost identical to the car used in the 2013 rendering of the film.
The House
Gatsby's house in the 1974 version of the book is a large white mansion with a huge field in the front yard where he sets up tents to hold his parties.

The Great Gatsby (2013)
Modernized Music
The Parties
Gatsby's parties in 2013 are fast paced like the 1974 rendering. Although they contain much more modern music with a 1920s feel, including artists like Lana Del Ray, Fergie and Jay Z. These parties also are much more over the top and wilder than the parties in 1974.
The Car
Gatsby's car stays true to the 1974 version of the car with his well-known yellow Rolls-Royce.
The House
Gatsby's 2013 mansion is much larger and more extravagant than Gatsby's mansion in 1974. The front yard has more trees and more things going on than just a field, making Gatsby's 2013 house more of a fantasy-like mansion.
