'The Great Gatsby' - Even Baz Luhrmann Can't Bring Fitzgerald's Classic Novel to Life
‘The Great Gatsby’ – Even Baz Luhrmann Can’t Bring Fitzgerald’s Classic Novel to Life
I once had a teacher in college who told me filmmakers keep making the same movie over again and again without even realizing it, and Baz Luhrmann is a prime example of this.

VERY RARE FIND: A HAND-TAILORED GARDEN PARTY DRESS FROM THE 1920'S OR BEFORE
The pictures are yellowed because of low light at the time of the photograph. However, you can see the exceptional detail in the design of this frock.

Can you imagine the time it took to fashion this garment by…
