CAPA Summer Movie Series The Great Gatsby (1974)

This classic film screening brings F. Scott Fitzgerald's iconic 1920s novel to the big screen. The 1974 adaptation features lavish period costumes, elaborate party scenes, and a timeless story about ambition and romance set during the Jazz Age. Families will enjoy the visual spectacle and famous performances, though younger children may find the pacing slow and some themes (infidelity, class conflict) complex. It's a great opportunity to experience cinema history together and spark conversations about the era and classic literature.
