Should be gone.

Rating: 5/10 (17 July 1999)

How we are expected to like a film with two such awful people as leads is beyond me. Scarlett and Rhett are two of the most self-obsessed and self-righteous people I have ever seen. Moreover, the story is simply one disaster after another that we really don't want to hear about. I have enjoyed some of the great epics, but this was far too self important. Mercifully, Hattie McDaniel is wonderful as Mammy. What is also good about the film is the photography, as it is with most epics.
