    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

    Miracle in Film Making - Can't believe they did it in 1939!
    This movie was on my watch list since 1996 or 1997 when I read its review in a local newspaper. I though it must be a dull movie as it is very old and procrastinated to watch until Dec 2019.

    And friends, I can't tell you how much I am impressed with this movie - wonderful story, superb acting, mesmerizing cinematography and direction. And they did it in 1939 - which is really hard to digest.

    I am stupid enough to miss this glory for so many years.
