A classic soap opera

Rating: Null/10 (9 October 2000)

I remember watching GWTW years ago with my grandmother on TV. I can only imagine how wonderful it must have been to experience this film on the big screen! Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable, Hattie McDaniel and Olivia De Havilland are all perfectly cast and the supporting players shine also, especially Ona Munson, who played Belle Watling, the hooker Rhett was friends with. I have to agree that Leslie Howard showed no charisma whatsoever as Ashley Wilkes. What woman in her right mind would want to be with a dull wet mop like Ashley instead of someone handsome, charismatic and exciting like Rhett Butler?
Anyway, a classic on every level. The color and costumes are amazing. Will always be a special movie to me.
