Description

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece, The Great Gatsby, has become synonymous with the lifestyle of the rich and famous on Long Island. But what if that connection is false? The argument that the real West and East Egg can be found on the other side of Long Island Sound is brilliantly argued in the 2020 documentary, GATSBY IN CONNECTICUT: The Untold Story. Featuring Sam Waterston and narrated by Keir Dullea (2001: A Space Odyssey), the documentary was selected by The New Yorker as one of the best movies of 2020. The 100-minute program includes a postscreening discussion with the award-winning director, Robert Steven Williams.
