Thanks a million!

Yeah. Thanks for that. I have looked for it on youtube but can't find it. Maybe I can track it down on I-Tunes or something. I think its the best version of a wonderful song.

I watched the documentary last night for the first time and loved the final montage so much I uploaded it. Enjoy. And I didn't even know that William Atherton could sing. I've always remembered him as the TV reporter who gets punched at the end of Die Hard.

That's part of your problem, you haven't seen enough movies. All of life's riddles are answered in the movies.

Thanks very much for that. I was amazed when I searched for it on youtube that it wasn't on there as other scenes from 'The Great Gatsby' are.
If you read about Atherton on wikipedia he seems to have led quite an interesting life before becoming part of mainstream Hollywood in the 80s.
I also heard he was part of some fundamentalist group who converted homosexuals in NYC around the time he was in Looking For Mr Goodbar which sounds mad.
The final montage is excellent. Brilliant upload. Thanks again.
