"Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn."

Rating: 10/10 (10 January 2015)

This film is a prime example of quality American cinema. Whether the movie is for you or not, one has to give it it's due credit as one of the most finely made films ever to come out of Hollywood. Gone with the Wind changed the way movies are made.
Victor Fleming did a magnificent job directing the movie and bring to life the vision of David O. Selznick.
Gone with the Wind was a product of the best filmmakers in the business, and the final product is impressive, to say the least. The story adapted here does not fail to keep us engaged, even with the films 4 hour run time. From Victor Fleming's direction, to Sidney Howard's screenplay, to Ernest Haller's cinematography, to Max Steiner's beautiful score, the film is a masterpiece.
Vivien Leigh is an inspired choice for Scarlett O'Hara, and it is hard to imagine anyone else in the role. She encapsulates beauty and brings a sense of depth to the role that makes it one of the greatest performances in the history of cinema.
Clark Gable is the perfect choice for Rhett Butler. It is hard to imagine anyone else in this role as well. He also brings a sense of depth to the character that just could not have been done better.
While the cast is simply too large to mention everyone here, it is necessary to mention the perfect portrayals of Olivia de Havilland as Melanie Hamilton and Leslie Howard as Ashley.
Another performance that must be mentioned is Hattie McDaniel's portrayal of Mammy. McDaniel plays the role so naturally that it is hard to believe it's just an actress playing a role.
Ultimately, this film adaptation of Margaret Mitchell's book is an all- time classic and monument in cinematic history that is simply a must-see.
