A spectacular example of "classic" Hollywood films

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 1999)

They don't make films quite like this anymore. GWTW is an amazing film that manages to do everything right: acting, directing, casting, cinematography, costumes, screenplay, editing, score, etc. It is impossible to imagine anyone other than Clark Gable, Vivian Leigh, Olivia de Haviland, & Leslie Howard playing these roles that seem made for them. This film takes the viewer back to Civil War America so convincingly that you cannot help but be pulled into the world of Scarlett O'Hara. It is amazing that the 3 best films, in my opinion, ever (the other 2 being Casablanca & Citizen Kane) were made within 4 years of each other. Watch this film & you will be transported to a time & place that is now. . . gone with the wind.
