Summary: Out of 5 stars, I give 50!
Review: Never has a movie been so wonderful and heartwrenching. I'm only a teen but I've read the book 3 times, seen the movie quite a few, and absolutely love both! Vivien Leigh is such a perfect Scarlett, and Clark Gable is such a handsome, detestable Rhett that its uncanny! Mitchell couldn't have dreamed up any two people better suited for the lead roles! Although the movie leaves out a few things (the births of Scarlett's 2 other children, Wade and Ella, for example) it is still the best movie-based-on-a-book ever, and even without the book it would have been the best movie ever! You can't miss this romantic classic! but be forewarned; no matter how many times you've seen it, you're gonna cry!!!

Summary: The grandest movie of all time
Review: Whenever I watch "Gone With the Wind," I always try to imagine what people in 1939 watching it for the very first time must have thought of it. Sound had only been prevalent in movies for only ten years or so. Full-color was very rare (1937's "A Star is Born" and "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" are earlier examples, as is 1939's "Wizard of Oz"). And this wasn't just color, this was absolutely magnificent. I'm more impressed with the technicolor in "Gone With the Wind" than I am by movies made today. No wonder this film has been viewed in theaters by more people over the years than any other film in history. Besides the film's technical merits and its pure spectacle, it is also a very moving drama about compelling characters. Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh give wonderful performances. This film is a national treasure and cannot be recommended highly enough.

Summary: This movie will never be Gone...it stays in your heart!
Review: So many movies have come and gone, but this movie remains a favorite with eternal themes of love and loss. If you love romantic tragedies, then this is one of the greatest movies ever made. While this movie is eternally long, it will live in your memory for just as long. Definately worth owning! I think by reading some of the five star reviews, you will get a picture of what this movie is about. I simply wanted to tell you how much you will enjoy watching it.

Summary: THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME!
Review: There was only one "Gone With The Wind," and there will never be another. Clark Gable stole the show. Everyone was perfectly cast, with the exception of Vivien Leigh. If I were casting "Gone With The Wind," I would not have cast Vivien Leigh. There was something lacking in Leigh's performance. There were two actresses at least, that I am aware of, who were seriously being considered for the role. One of them was Paulette Goddard and the other was Bette Davis. Paulette Goddard, an outstanding actress, would have made a far more beautiful and believable Scarlett than Vivien Leigh, and, while Bette Davis was stunning rather than beautiful, she would have ripped the screen apart with her acting. I would have cast Bette Davis.

Summary: Great Movie, below average DVD
Review: Wonderful movie, but below average DVD. When one buys a DVD they not only want to see the movie, but a bunch of little extras too. This DVD has virtually none of the extras that make a DVD worth buying. I was at least expecting a "Making of" segment. Just my humble oppinion.

Summary: Incredible
Review: Gone with the Wind is on eof the greatest films of all time. This movie was made over sixty years ago and still today captivates viewers of all ages. When I first sat down to watch this, I was not at all excited about it. I thought it would be a boring old movie that was four hours too long. But it wasn't, much to my surprise and delight. This movie grabbed my attention from the start and the fours hours went by so fast. Anyone who does not enjoy this movie does not appreciate it. I am only sixteen but this is one of my favorite movies ever!!

Summary: HISTORICALLY IMPORTANT FOR MANY REASONS
Review: Perhaps the very first technicolor film, GONE WITH THE WIND broke lots of new technical and artistic ground in 1939. Margaret Mitchell's story of the Old South is the epic story of a woman who can cope with everything in the Civil War, except losing to another woman the love of the man she desperately wants. David O. Selznick produced the movie starring the macho Clark Gable (Rhett Butler: "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."), seductive Vivien Leigh (Oscar for her role as Scarlett O'Hara: "As God is my witness, as God is my witness they're not going to lick me! I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again!"), and heart wringing characters played by Olivia de Havilland, British actor Leslie Howard (Ashley Wilkes: "You mustn't say unkind things about Melanie."), and that wonderful African-American actress Butterfly McQueen who flawlessly played Scarlett's maid (Prissy: "Lawzy, we got to have a doctor! I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' babies!"). GONE WITH THE WIND was being premiered against a backdrop of Adolf Hitler beginning his conquest of Europe. After acting in the movie, Leslie Howard returned to England to make movies and radio broadcasts about World War II. He was killed in 1943 when the British Overseas Airways plane he was on was shot down by German fighters over the Bay of Biscay. This may have been one of the most Oscar awarded movies in history: Best Actress (Vivien Leigh); Best Art Direction; Best Cinematography (Color); Best Director - Victor Fleming; Best Film Editing; Best Picture - David O. Selznick; Best Supporting Actress - Hattie McDaniel; Best Writing, Screenplay - Sidney Howard; Technical Achievement Awards (for pioneering in the use of coordinated equipment in the production); Nominated for Oscar: Best Actor - Clark Gable; Best Effects (Special Effects) - two for sound and one photographic. For decades to follow, GONE WITH THE WIND defined the standards for movie making in the world.

Summary: Gone With the Wind
Review: This movie is a wonderful adaption of the book. The actors and actresses showed great talent and energy. The sets were very realistic, as were the costumes. However, as elaborate and colorful as it was, no adaption of the book can be adequate. Scarlett looked a little too old for the age she was supposed to be; Ashley Wilkes was not the handsome lad he was in the book; and Melanie was much too glamorous for her frail character. I would recommend watching to the movie, to compare it with the book, but stick with the original book. No movie can do it justice.

Summary: Lack-Lustre Presentation
Review: The one star I'm giving the greatest movie ever made isn't for the film itself. It's for the horrible lack of interest or care for the fans because this DVD version has zero extras on it. Even Carnival of Souls, a low-budget cult movie has nearly 3 hours of outakes, the "making of...", interviews. And then you look at the outstanding care and planning someone lavished on the DVD version of "The Sound of Music," with the "Making of..."interviews, deleted, scenes, interviews with cast members,and it's criminal that "wind" is just thrown out to the public as an ordinary movie. It's scary to think of the indifference of the people behind this dismal presentation of GWTW. Aren't the creators aware there are still tons of archival material that fans would lap up? Deleted scenes, costume tests, more unseen auditions, interviews with surviving members of the cast: Cammie Sue king (Bonnie Butler) EVelyn Keyes (Suellen), Ann Rutherford (Karen), etc. I'll continue watching my VHS version which looks wonderful, and then watching my VHS version of "The Making of a Legend" until the definitive DVD of the world's greatest film is finally released. Fans like me will be waiting.
