I'm now watching "The Great Gatsby" (1949) starring Alan Ladd on DVD. It's an Australian import that plays on Region 1 players. The video presentation is mediocre, but to finally have this 1949 film version to watch is good enough for me. Not bad for $12.06 which was the discounted sale price from Deep Discount. I think I saw this film version back in my youth as I have some vague memories of it. I've been trying to see this film again for the last 35 or so years and now I'm finally watching it again. The year 2018 has been an excellent year for me in regard to finally getting to watch so many of my "holy grail" film titles on physical disc that have been missing from my collection for decades. Also, I think Ladd is very good as Jay Gatsby. Though, I'm not feeling the same for Betty Field as Daisy.
