"Gone With the Wind," Selznick's 1939 movie

Hollywood, CA

Adapted from a novel by a best-selling author, the film is brilliantly acted and beautifully produced—with Oscar-winning performances. Moreover, it vividly and movingly portrays the Southern aspect of the War Between the States. Margaret Mitchell's singular book is not just a Civil War saga; it is a chronicle of the volatile relationship between two iconic characters: Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara. The book continues to sell; the film's screening is always a stellar occasion.
