Amazon.com essential video:
David O. Selznick wanted Gone with the Wind to be somehow more than a movie, a film that would broaden the very idea of what a film could be and do and look like. In many respects he got what he worked so hard to achieve in this 1939 epic (and all-time box-office champ in terms of tickets sold), and in some respects he fell far short of the goal. While the first half of this Civil War drama is taut and suspenseful and nostalgic, the second is ramshackle and arbitrary. But there's no question that the film is an enormous achievement in terms of its every resource--art direction, color, sound, cinematography--being pushed to new limits for the greater glory of telling an American story as fully as possible. Vivien Leigh is still magnificently narcissistic, Olivia de Havilland angelic and lovely, Leslie Howard reckless and aristocratic. As for Clark Gable: we're talking one of the most vital, masculine performances ever committed to film.--Tom Keogh

- The Greatest Film Ever Made...
GONE WITH THE WIND doesn't top the AFI's Top Movies list, but, from a person that's seen all of the films preceding it (excluding THE GODFATHER), it should be.This is a marvellous film, and what makes it the greatest is that it fully utilizes and takes advantage of every means that movies can use to astound us.Here in this movie we have memorable dialogue, rich, developed characters, grand, sweeping visuals, an unabashadley romantic plot, taut suspense, and a lucious score.

Rating: - Gone with the Wind not gone
This film,always a classic, arrived within the scheduled time period.The film case was in good shape,just a few scratches.The film itself is in excellent condition: color and sound are great. The film still has appeal: doesn't matter that it was originally produced seventy years ago.Thoroughly enjoyed watching it,again!
Rating: - A great gift!
My 88 year old friend mentioned one day,after she caught the end of
"Gone With the Wind" on cable, that she had never seen the movie in it's entirety. I tried to rent it in town, but to no avail. Amazon.com had it! and for less that $10.00 it came to Craig, Alaska soon where my friend was just so very happy to finally see this great movie. Thank you !
