tame film but good performances

Rating: Null/10 (2 January 2006)

was meant to be an an absolute blockbuster and it was, sadly on reflection was an average film but thats where the mystery comes in , viewing it as a product of its time explains exactly its appeal the onset of www2 i maintain that Vivien Leigh did her best to get her one shot at stardom though the best performances are Olivia DE Devland and Hattie mac Daniel's, Clark gable and Lesley Howard sleepwalk through their respective roles , but as a favourite film of my mothers i concede it is a rarity in film history and a definite nostalgic favourite, and of course the settings are stunning and well researched, some of the scenes are quite daring for its time IE the shooting of the deserter , quite nasty .
