a classic, no doubt

Rating: 10/10 (8 November 1998)

having made my way through the book first, i think this a very brave interpretation, and even though it was that length, there was quite a bit missing from the book...
it also concentrated a little more on the relationship between Rhett and Scarlett, not that I minded at all, some of the people who have bagged this movie , I think, do not appreciate that it is 59 years old, so there is obviously room for improvement, and I enjoyed it more than Titanic.
There were some clever twists which I did not pick up the first time around... Did anyone notice that Scarlett's nightmare that she relays to Rhett on their honeymoon is also one of the final scenes? In her dream she is running through the mist, trying to find something, but she cannot, and it is through the mist she runs after the death of Melanie trying to find her true love, trying to find Rhett. To me, it wasn't too long, as the drama keeps you interested, you want to know what is going to happen.. i love this movie, and has shown that it can stand the test of time
