Vivian Leigh's best work

Rating: 8/10 (4 February 2004)

This is a stunning film, especially considering it's vintage. Vivian Leigh does the best work of her career in this film. Clark Gable is pretty fair in this as well, but this isn't his crowning moment, at least in my opinion. The story is grand, the characters all larger than life and the cinematography is among the best ever done. Leslie Howard as Ashley Wilkes and Olivia de Havilland as Melanie also give strong performances. This one should be the standard against which all other films are judged - it's that good!
