<P> William Goldman, who loved the novel, said in 2000 that he actively campaigned for the job of adapting the script, but was astonished by the quality of Coppola's work: </P> <P> I still believe it to be one of the great adaptations...I called him (Coppola) and told him what a wonderful thing he had done . If you see the movie, you will find all this hard to believe...The director who was hired, Jack Clayton, is a Brit...he had one thing all of them have in their blood: a murderous sense of class...Well, Clayton decided this: that Gatsby's parties were shabby and tacky, given by a man of no elevation and taste . There went the ball game . As shot, they were foul and stupid and the people who attended them were foul and silly, and Robert Redford and Mia Farrow, who would have been so perfect as Gatsby and Daisy, were left hung out to dry . Because Gatsby was a tasteless fool and why should we care about their love? It was not as if Coppola's glory had been jettisoned entirely, though it was tampered with plenty; it was more that the reality and passions it depicted were gone . </P> <P> The Rosecliff and Marble House mansions in Newport, Rhode Island, were used for Gatsby's house while scenes at the Buchanans' home were filmed at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, England . One driving scene was shot in Windsor Great Park, UK . Other scenes were filmed in New York City and Uxbridge, Massachusetts . </P> <P> The film received mixed reviews . The film was praised for its interpretation and staying true to the novel, but was criticized for lacking any true emotion or feelings towards the Jazz Age . Based on 33 total reviews collected by Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an overall approval rating from critics of 39% . Despite this, the film was a financial success, making $26,533,200 against a $6.5 million budget . </P>
