Hot-tempered, self-centered, part-Irish Southern beauty Scarlett O'Hara, played to the teeth by Vivien Leigh, loves the gentlemanly Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard). Smug, rebellious,...
more...honest blockade-running profiteer Rhett Butler, portrayed gracefully and naturally by Clark Gable, loves Scarlett. Ashley, who is also in love with Scarlett, marries his genteel cousin Melanie (Olivia de Havilland) because he believes that their quiet similarities will create a better marriage than Scarlett's passion. Meanwhile, sparks fly between Rhett and Scarlett at their first encounter and continue throughout Scarlett's first two marriages. Scarlett and Rhett finally wed, but Scarlett continues to pine for her beloved Ashley. Set against the Civil War and Southern Reconstruction, this tragic love quadrangle offers the burning of Atlanta and fields of wounded Confederates as part of its lush scenery. Meticulous backdrops, glorious sunsets, numerous silhouettes, and the ultrasaturated Technicolor film create a hyperreal vision. The romantic score is every bit as lush and dramatic as the photography, borrowing folk melodies from the Old South to make the tragic war concrete. Heavy nostalgic tones pervade the often witty dialogue and larger-than-life charms and faults of the leads. GONE WITH THE WIND, winner of 10 Academy Awards, stands among the greatest epic dramas ever filmed.

Full review
Gone with the Wind was made in 1939 in Colour and starred Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh.
It was a big budget film, which showed the in way the days of the American civil war and the towns and farms of the time were lovingly recreated to every detail.
The main story of the film revolves around a self centered vivien Leigh who has grown up as a rich land owners daughter in the deep south, whos life style dramatically changes when the civil war breaks out.
The film won eight oscars including best picture and is one of the most memorable love storys in film making history.
Probably best remembered for Clark Gables final line in the film "Frankly my dear i dont give a damn"
This film is over three hours long and I have managed to sit through it at least 4 times during the last 20 years and each time I am as captivated as the first .
Very few films made so long ago has stood the test of time in the way that this film has,if you havent seen its a absolute must for anyone who is into films.
In my local video store recently I noticed it on DVD which shows the publics undying affection for this master piece.
