Epic Classic - Must See

Rating: 9/10 (8 January 2014)

This movie is an epic classic. Back in the time when movies were a huge undertaking.
Some trivia is that Vivien Leigh was overcome by Clark Gable's bad breath (from his dentures and she wasn't the only actress that felt this way). Thus in scenes you can see how she cringes whenever they are in a romantic embrace. The movie director was smart and used this to their advantage to indicate she was swooning from his embrace.
Also, she had a complex about her hands being too big and you can see this throughout the movie as her fingers are always tucked in when in an embrace, her fists on Rhett's chest even on the rare occasions they were getting along.
It's too bad Scarlett and Rhett couldn't ever seem to get on the same page. If they could have, they would have been a lot happier but instead they are like two ships passing in the night. Ah unrequited love.
The movie was very well done for the time. The book is much better. Interesting how in the book Scarlett is actually pregnant while Rhett courts her = a huge no no back in those days! Even exceptional was that she would leave the house in her pregnant state to go out with him. Yet the movie didn't include this - probably too racy back in those days. Highly recommend reading the book.
Gone with the Wind is a class movie that everyone should see.
