A comprehensive guide to all major film adaptations based on the novels of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, this is an essential volume for scholars of American modernism and of film studies. The author takes the approach that all visual and printed literature is born from a cycle of celebrity culture, in which authors continually create new works and reconstruct their personal images based upon audience reception. The text includes two dozen reviews and still photographs of individual films, from the silent era to present-day hits, such as Baz Luhrman's The Great Gatsby , as well as critical commentary from leading scholars of both modernist literature and film studies.
