    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The fact that Hattie McDaniel would be unable to attend the premiere in racially segregated Atlanta outraged Clark Gable so much that he threatened to boycott the premiere unless she could attend. He later relented when she convinced him to go.
    • Goofs
      After Ashley Wilkes is carried into his room from a night at Belle's place, Melanie picks up a lamp with an electric cord attached.
    • Quotes

      Scarlett: Rhett, Rhett... Rhett, if you go, where shall I go? What shall I do?

      Rhett Butler: Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

    • Crazy credits
      George Reeves is credited as playing the part of Brent Tarleton, and Fred Crane is billed as Stuart Tarleton. This is incorrect: Crane played Brent, and Reeves played Stuart.
    • Alternate versions
      When originally released theatrically in the UK in 1940, the BBFC made cuts to secure a 'A' rating.
    • Connections
      Edited into Raintree County (1957)
    • Soundtracks
      Selznick International Theme
      (1937) (uncredited)

      Written by Alfred Newman

      Played for the Selznick International Logo

    A Tempestuous Hurricane of a Tornado...
    When a film is consistently recognised through the wisdom of the crowd, over so many years, as being great and epic and, for the duration of that film to run close to four hours - it really does suggest something a bit special. That something a bit special is a timeless story set during some of the darkest times in American history but it isn't the setting that makes this special, it's the story, the story of a cruel, selfish and manipulative opportunist performing her craft to perfection, it's the story portrayed through one of the greatest cinematic performances the world of movies has ever seen. While the leading man and the supporting cast are outstanding, you walk away from this with only one person holding and controlling your thoughts, just like the character she plays, just as she does through the whole of the picture - the incredible and sublimely talented, the beautiful and vivacious, the tempestuous hurricane of a tornado that is Vivien Leigh. Setting the bar so high it remains unparalleled, even to this day.
