This soapy but highly watchable television "sequel" to Gone with the Wind, the most popular Hollywood movie ever made, has nothing to do with memories of a vanished antebellum South. But it does end up in Ireland, where the determined Scarlett O'Hara Butler (played with frosty passion by Joanne Whalley-Kilmer) turns hard times into an opportunity by buying the ancestral home of her family. Before that happens, however, Scarlett fights to win back the estranged Rhett Butler (manfully portrayed by Timothy Dalton), often seen in the company of other women, struggles for control over the homestead Tara, and gets caught in yet another compromising position with poor Ashley Wilkes (Stephen Collins). The troubles never stop (Scarlett's Ireland adventures land her in a heap of trouble from which only Rhett can save her), but this TV miniseries wisely keeps the focus on these captivating characters, their entangled histories, and the collective destiny that refuses to part them. The show also looks good: the location scenes in Ireland are particularly handsome, and there is something unaccountably satisfying about seeing Scarlett and Rhett walking through peaceful green hills. Enjoy. --Tom Keogh

- Scarletr DVD
I have been looking for this DVD for months. I finally found it thanks to amazon. Arrived in a timely manner and it excellent condition. Thanks, Robert Locurto
Rating: - Correction
I absolutely love this movie, despite it being off from the book. To "Windie", Vivian Leigh (the original movie's Scarlett) was British.
Rating: 
- Totally dissapointed
Ok so I knew this wouldn't be anywhere near as good as 'Gone With The Wind' but wow, they just totally changed personalities and everything. But that's not the worst of it!! The dvd itself wouldn't play right, it would skip and the picture would flicker and scramble. I didn't really enjoy it at all.
Rating: - Scarlett, the book
Great book.Written in sense of "Gone with the Wind."Good character development.Really saw the growth of Scarlet, from self-centered child to caring young woman.Always had the feeling, unlike the film, that it was Scarlet and Rhett.Set in Irish history background.
Rating: - excellent
Timothy Dalton is a good choice in continueing rhett butler's story. If your a fan of gone with the wind this movie you will love.
