"In his blue gardens, men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars."
It's the height of the roaring 20's. Every Saturday, the doors to Gatsby's gothic mansion are flung wide to the bright young things of New York - the music is loud, the dancing is wild, and the champagne flows freely.
