One of the Best Movies EVER!

Rating: 10/10 (15 December 2005)

As I write this review, today is the 66th anniversary of GWTW. The story about a Southern belle named Scarlett O'Hara showing her trials before, during, and after the Civil War makes up a movie that continues to enthrall audiences even today. Here are the reasons why I think it is THE perfect movie: Cast- The cast gives perfect performances that makes this movie memorable. Clark Gable is Rhett Butler, the role that seems made JUST for him. Vivien Leigh, who plays Scarlett O'Hara, deserved the Best Actress Oscar. Leslie Howard is excellent as Ashley Wilkes, the man that Scarlett loves. Olivia deHavilland plays Melanie, the kind-hearted woman who always thinks of others before herself, perfectly. Hattie McDaniel gives a awesome performance as Scarlett's strong-willed servant.
Direction- Victor Fleming (THE WIZARD OF OZ), along with uncredited George Cukor and Sam Wood, directs his cast superbly, making you believe in the characters.
There are many more reasons to list,including Sidney Howard's script(based on Margaret Mitchell's novel), Max Steiner's wonderful music, and the awe-inspiring sets and costumes. So, see this Oscar-winning classic. You'll remember this for the rest of your life.
