First of all, let me just dash the hopes of my fellow Capetonian brothers and sisters: No, this is not a documentary about Golden Dish. There will be no masala steak gatsbies on the big screen any time soon. Alas… Based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s most famous story, hailed by many as the greatest American novel, comes this latest in a …
