Utter nonsense

Rating: 1/10 (29 July 1998)

This is probably the cheesiest most melodramatic nonsense to ever appear in the 20th century. The only thing saving this is the lush photography. I find the sentimentality stomach churning as well as 3/4 of the dialogue. Clark Gable's presence is stuck up and annoying and he just oozes greed. Vivian Leigh was a nobody when she was cast and remained just that after the movie. The pacing, even for an old movie, is horrific and insipid. The 4 hr running time is excrutiating even if there's a violent storm outside. This movie is just too overrated.
