A noir tinged version of The Great Gatsby? You better believe it when Alan Ladd (The Blue Dahlia) is top-billed and the supporting cast includes characters like Shelley Winters, Ed Begley, and permanent noir schlub Elisha Cook Jr. This version of the classic novel reframes Gatsby as a bootlegger and Nick Carraway as a man fascinated by his criminal swagger. Brattle debut!
