It was directed by Jack Clayton and produced by David Merrick and distributed by Paramount. Truman Capote was the original screenwriter but he was replaced by Francis Ford Coppola. On his commentary track for the DVD release of The Godfather, Coppola makes reference to writing the Gatsby script at the time, though he comments: "Not that the director paid any attention to it. The script that I wrote did not get made."
The movie received mixed to negative reviews. It was praised for staying true to the novel by criticised for lacking any true emotion.
