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

Rating: - As many times as they show it
The regular remasterings of Gone with the Wind mark the progress of film restoration, and the 2009/10 releases are no exceptions.Although not as big a jump as the 2004 edition was over the 2000, the new edition is improved by a significantly better digital transfer of the same 2004 restored elements (the 2004, using the computerized frame fill-in and matching of the Technicolor elements, is not likely to be improved upon).Most versions of the newest edition, both regular DVD and Blu-ray, were ...
