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

Congratulations to Warner Brothers,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gone With the Wind: Ultimate Collector's Edition [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I believe Warner Brothers ought to be commended for the attention they put into the making of their collector's items. Like Ben-Hur and Casablanca, this box turned out to be absolutely phenomenal. If you are buying this item to add it to your collection, definitely go for it. The box itself, the artwork within as well as the bonus DVD are worth it. Just be careful with the corners of the box as they are fragile. And if you have bought Ben-Hur and/or Casablanca, and was satisfied with your purchases, you should know that this box is even better than those two.

gorgeous blu-ray fabulous package,

This review is from: Gone With the Wind: Ultimate Collector's Edition [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
While not always a devoted fan, I could appreciate the film-making achievement and historical significance of Gone With the Wind. But now I have a whole new admiration for the classic epic given the astounding blu-ray picture quality. This 70th anniversary blu-ray package is highly recommended for fans and collectors, as it contains in the numbered red velvet box, reproductions of correspondence, art prints and the program, along with a commemorative hardcover picture book (52pg.), and soundtrack cd sampler (approx. 34 min.). The highlight of course is the 3 disc box set which contains a mammoth amount of programming, including the blu-ray feature (disc 1 - with commentary by Rudy Behlmer), the 6-hr MGM: When the Lion Roars documentary (disc 3 - dble sided dvd), and the related bonus features on disc 2 (which is a blu-ray for storage purposes only - the approx. 8 hrs. of extras have not been re-mastered to hi-def quality). Though some doc's and making-of's are on previous releases (i.e. Gable and Leigh bios, Havilland reminisces etc.), the "new" programming to this set include the Legend Lives On (featurette), The Scarlet O'Hara War (telefilm), and 1939: Hollywood's Greatest Year (a 1 hr. doc that I'd hoped would have spanned 3). This package is highly recommended for fans and film-buffs, and the film itself to those who think they've already seen it. (Reminder - the film is presented in its original frame size (ratio aspect), meaning there will be black bars on the sides of wide screens - and as a note, the audio is fine). Gone With the Wind is well worth experiencing on blu-ray.

U must be a fan of GWTW!,

This review is from: Gone With the Wind: Ultimate Collector's Edition [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I bought it because I love the movie, so I would never miss this collector set. The only thing is that it keeps to its original aspect, so it will never fit the widescreen. But I remember that's how it was when shown on the big screen theater. Must have for a GWTW fan!
