The Great Gatsby is a lost silent film based on the F. Scott Fitzgerald's of the same name.[1] It was produced by the Famous Players-Lasky and released by Paramount Pictures as part of their 15th Anniversary.

All that has survived is a one-minute trailer. Extensive efforts by Professor Wheeler Winston Dixon have been made to recover an original print of the film, but to no avail. [2]
