In a message dated 98-03-27 07:10:21 EST, you write: << I've met Will (in the appropriately clandestine fashion), and it turns out that he is Jay Gatsby. >> Is this true Tim? I think I had been reading the book for ten years before I realized that a movie existed, but Redford was not Jay Gatsby for me at all. If Will is Gatsby could you please forward the best description you can.
