Gone With The Wind | Classification: Drama Directed: - Victor Fleming - Sam Wood - George Cukor Actors/Actresses: - Vivien Leigh Red Earth of Tara gets Remastered How fortunate we are to be able to view this incredibly wonderful film, the way it was seen in 1939. Even more than that to have it in Dolby Digital 5.1. Scarlett, sillouhetted, standing on the red clay of Tara, in the beautiful sunset, swearing she "will never go hungry again", the streets of Atlanta with the thousands of wounded confederates, the ball gowns, Mammy's big eyes,Atlanta burning,the cotton fields, all in the glorious technicolor it was first seen in. This DVD(Warner Bros) allows us to view Gone With the Wind as if we were seeing it for the first time. Good Movie - Bare DVD I'm always sure I've seen this move enough, but I got caught up in it again this past weekend. Too bad it's gotten the reputation as a chick flick, because I think its pretty universal. The war is a background to the human story that rises above mere soap opera. Gable is perfect as Rhett Butler, Vivian Leigh was brilliant as Scarlett and Olivia DeHavilland never strikes a false note. Leslie Howard on the other hand seems miscast and I always hope that he'll be replaced before I view it again. The Gone With the Wind DVD is somewhat of a disappointment. With a very good making of documentary already produced, I was very disappointed that it didn't make its way onto this DVD. I suppose once they sell the tar out of this one, we'll get a special collectors edition that we can buy all over again. Next time I hope we can have some commentary by film scholars. There is so much to tell us about this great film. There is a Deluxe Box set available, but it has nothing but play pretties. I long for substance. Lesley Howard is brilliant and a strong character In his role of Scarlett O'Hara's (initially) true secret love. I had been a fan of Mr. Howard's for many years. His performance here is among his finest. Also check him out in The Petrified Forrest. As for the rest of the film. When he's not in it it's a little strong on the romantic side.
