Product Description
Amazon.com Essential Video
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

More of a summary,
By
This review is from: Gone With the Wind (Autant en emporte le vent) (DVD)
This movie is great if you dont have time to read the book, but if you have the time definately pick up the novel and forget the movie. The acting is great and the story flows at a decent rate but i just find that they cut too much of the book out. the main thing would be her children, in the book she has 3 and in the movie she has only one. Scarlet is not a good person, she isnt ment to be, the way she treats Wade (her son) is what really brings her character to light and i just think it would have made a much better movie is he had been part of it.

Gone With the Wind,
By Gayda Errett "Creation Spirituality" (Playfairville, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Gone With the Wind (Autant en emporte le vent) (DVD)
It's an outstanding epic and true filmic classic. I have seen in twice on the large screen and many times on video. The story, characters and acting is beyond. No wonder it won so many Academy Awards. It's a treasure ad infinitum.
