【英音模仿秀】了不起的盖茨比

模仿文本：When a new version¹ of The Great Gatsby premieres this week at the Cannes Film Festival, it will be the fourth big screen adaptation of F Scott Fitzgerald's novel, which is published in 1925. Some critics rate The Great Gatsby the best American novel of the 20th century. Yet when Fitzgerald died in 1940, his reputation had almost collapsed². Vincent Dell has been speaking to two people with strong family connections to Scott Fitzgerald.
