Jack Clayton

A penniless middle-aged spinster scrapes by giving piano lessons in the Dublin of the 1950s. She makes a sad last bid for love with a fellow resident of her rundown boarding house, who imagines she has the money to bankroll the business he hopes to open.

Jo, the mother of seven children, divorces her second husband in order to marry Jake, a successful but promiscuous screenwriter. Though they are physically and emotionally compatible, they are slowly torn apart.

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s romantic novel set in 1920s New York is faithfully adapted for the screen by Francis Ford Coppola, starring Robert Redford at Jay Gatsby and Mia Farrow as Daisy.
