This epic, though overly long, does capture the horrors of the Civil War. Clark Gable is memorable as Rhett Butler but the film disappointed me with its slow moments and more than a little bit of over-acting. I was not impressed with Vivien Leigh's performance even though Hollywood awarded her an Oscar. I know that this film has received many and varied reviews. I just happen to feel that it doesn't come up to award winning standards. I would hope that all of you rent this movie and check it out. Many people obviously feel it is deserving of the Oscar it received.
