Where was The Great Gatsby filmed?

Nick Carraway (portrayed by Sam Waterston) crosses the bay and goes 20 miles east of New York in his boat to visit his cousin, Daisy Buchanan (Mia Farrow), and her husband, Tom Buchanan (Bruce Dern). Nick lives in West Egg, the less fashionable side of Chicago. Nick meets Bruce at the Polo Club.

Throughout the film, Nick Carraway is more of a narrator, and in this opening scene, he is heard telling himself, "In my younger and more vulnerable years, my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since." He explains that his father said, "Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had." As he continues his internal musings, Nick meets Tom at Newport and gets into Tom's car to meet Daisy.

The Great Gatsby filming location is Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island. Narragansett Bay is the bay to the north of Rhode Island and Newport and is a major travel route between the mainland and the surrounding islands. You can cross the bay from any of the locations at Narragansett or other piers and take the ferry across to Newport while enjoying the gorgeous views.

Nick enters Buchanan Estate with his brother-in-law, Tom Buchanan, and sees his cousin, Daisy Buchanan (Mia Farrow), resting on a couch sofa with her friend Jordan Baker (Lois Chiles) on another. As he enters, Daisy exclaims, "Nick! Is it really you?" Nick responds, "It is." She introduces Nick, "Jordan, this is my second cousin, once removed, Nick Carraway."

Daisy is quite chirpy and demands, "Tom says you've just come from Chicago. Tell me everything. Do they miss me?" Nick smiles and replies, "The whole town is desolate. All the cars have their left rear wheel painted black in mourning, and there's a persistent wail all night." Hearing this, Daisy starts chuckling and says to Tom, "Let's go back tomorrow, Tom. I love a persistent wail."

This filming location of The Great Gatsby is the historic Heatherden Hall at Iver Heath in the United Kingdom. While many of the filming locations are in the US, the Great Gatsby locations are split between UK and US, with several Victorian homes as the residences of the characters in the movie. Fans can visit Heatherden Hall by hopping onto the blue bus number 3 and getting off at Swallow Street. From this stop, you can walk to Heatherden Hall.

Tom Buchanan takes Nick to meet his mistress, Myrtle Wilson (Karen Black). Myrtle is married to Tom's car mechanic George Wilson (Scott Wilson). While they're all at George's mechanic shop, Tom tells Myrtle to leave and get into the car. Myrtle climbs over Nick to kiss Tom and settles back in the seat.

While settling in and the car moves forward, she suddenly sees a vendor selling puppies on a street corner. Myrtle tells Tom, "Stop! Stop here! I wanna get one of these dogs. I want one for the apartment. They're so nice to have." She asks the vendor, "What kind are they?" The vendor replies, "All kinds. What kind would you like, lady?" Even though she wants a police dog, Myrtle finally gets a puppy, and Tom pays the vendor $10 for the female puppy.

While there are no funny scenes in The Great Gatsby, this one brought a smile to the audience's faces. Most animal lovers felt it was a sweet gesture, and getting an animal off the streets and into a comfortable forever home is always a noble thing. The street where the shot was filmed is 1st Avenue at E 59th St., New Jersey, New York. You can hop onto bus number 181, get off at Palisade Avenue at Riverdale Drive, and walk for one minute to reach the spot.

Nick gets an invitation to one of Jay Gatsby's (Robert Redford) extravagant parties. The party is as indulgent as one can imagine. People are dancing around water fountains, with tall, white, well-lit columns and constant jazz music playing everywhere. All guests have free-flowing wine and alcohol, food, drinks, and titbits. As he is mingling, he sees Jordan at the party. He approaches Jordan, who is also pleased to see him there. She says, "I know your cousin Daisy has an absolute craving for you, but I'm gonna borrow you for tonight."

As Nick and Jordan are seated at a table, they start hearing stories about Jay Gatsby ranging from spy to philanthropist and everything in between. While they are listening to all the rumors, Jordan says, "Gatsby never really goes to his own parties. Just looks in to see who's here, then disappears." Nick is called in to meet Jay Gatsby, who greets Nick, saying, "How do you do, old sport? I'm Gatsby." Nick smiles and walks forward, greeting him in return, "Nick Carraway. It's a pleasure."

Fans can visit the Great Gatsby location at Rosecliff, 548 Bellevue Ave in Newport, and take a walk through the grand hallways and water fountains. Simply hop onto bus number 67 from the Newport Visitor Center, get off at Bellevue opposite Rosecliff, and walk for a minute to reach the stately manor house.

Daisy is over at Jay Gatsby's house, and they are moving forward with their love affair. Since they are old flames, it becomes effortless for Jay and Daisy to rekindle their love, especially since Jay never moved on from Daisy, and Daisy is not in love with her husband, Tom. While Jay is romancing Daisy, she tells him, "Put on your uniform." When Jay says he thinks it's foolish, Daisy tells him it's about time they were a little foolish.

Daisy says beguilingly, "Put on your uniform, and we'll turn out all the lights except for a single candle. And I'll let you tell me you love me." Respecting her wishes, Jay Gatsby dons his old lieutenant's uniform, and they both dance together in the light of a single lit candle.

Many fans argue this is one of the best scenes in The Great Gatsby since Daisy and Jay have always been in love, and to most, it is evident that they should be together. This incredible romantic scene is shot at the famous Marble House at 596 Bellevue Avenue, Newport. Marble House is walking distance from Rosecliff, and fans can visit both places by catching the number 67 bus from the Newport Visitor Center.

Jay, Tom, Daisy, Jordan, and Nick are at the Buchanan's Estate. They are meeting over tea and are planning to spend the day together. It's sweltering in the house, so they all plan to go into town so they can feel cooler and entertain themselves. Tom, Nick, and Jordan get into Jay's car, while Daisy and Jay get into Tom's car.

While they are on the way, they cross a large bridge, and Jordan says to Nick, "I love New York on summer afternoons when everyone's away. There's something very sensuous about it, a little ripe as if all sorts of funny fruits are going to fall into your hands." Suddenly they hear honking from behind, and Daisy puts her head out of the car, asking Tom, "Where are we going?" Jordan asks, "How about the movies?" Daisy says, "It's too hot! You go. We'll drive around and meet you after. We'll meet you on some corner. I'll be the man smoking two cigarettes!" Tom gets in the way and says, "Well obviously, we can't argue here, so you follow me to the Plaza Hotel."

The iconic bridge used for The Great Gatsby film scene with the five main characters is Queensboro Bridge in New York. To get to this bridge in New York, take the green line southbound train and get off at Lexington Avenue. From here, the bridge is a few minutes' walk.
