RARA-AVIS: here's some interesting parallels

Stephen Holden (s.holden@lcpdt.linst.ac.uk)
Fri, 02 Oct 1998 15:35:28 +0100 The 1949 film version of 'The Great Gatsby' (with Alan Ladd as Gatsby)
has a certain 'noir' atmosphere.

There's an element of the detective story about the novel as Nick
Carraway and the other characters try to find out about Gatsby's past.
And 'Gatsby' means literally 'guntown.'
