Vivien Leigh is Scarlett to Clark Gable's Rhett in cinema's greatest epic of passion and adventure. With its immortal cast, magnificent cinematography and sweeping score, this cherished classic continues to thrill audiences today. Year: 1939
David O. Selznick wanted Gone with the Wind to be somehow more than a movie, a film that would broaden the very idea of what a film could be and do and look like. In many respects he got what he worked so hard to achieve in this 1939 epic (and all-time box-office champ in terms of tickets sold), and in some respects he fell far short of the goal. While the first half of this Civil War drama is taut and suspenseful and nostalgic, the second is ramshackle and arbitrary. But there's no question that the film is an enormous achievement in terms of its every resource--art direction, color, sound, cinematography--being pushed to new limits for the greater glory of telling an American story as fully as possible. Vivien Leigh is still magnificently narcissistic, Olivia de Havilland angelic and lovely, Leslie Howard reckless and aristocratic. As for Clark Gable: we're talking one of the most vital, masculine performances ever committed to film. --Tom Keogh

gone withe wind 70th anniv.blu ray dvd Gone with the Wind (70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition) [Blu-ray] had my doubts about improving dvd into blu ray of a 70 year old movie,but no more!crystal clear reproduction of the classic to see it the way it was meant to see.for all those that have the previous GWTW on dvd-spend the$45 to get the blu ray edition.it is like night&day.
WHAT'S THERE TO SAY WHAT'S THERE TO SAY. IT'S GONE WITH THE WIND. PROBABLY THE BEST FILM EVER PRODUCED. NOTHING HAS SURPASSED IT SO FAR, EXCEPT IN SPECIAL EFFECTS, TITANIC HAS COME VERY CLOSE AND IN STORY LING BROKEBACK HAS COME CLOSE.
I GOT THE REGULAR BLURAY EDITION AT TARGET, WHERE THAT EDITION WAS ONLY AVAILABLE.
IF YOU CAN LAST THE 3 HOURS, YOU WIL NOT FORGET THEIS LEDGEN.
