Product Description
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

Gone With the Wind

Reviewer: David T. Cady,
This is a must for GWTW lovers. It has great quality and is the best yet
Very well done if you're into older movies in general or GWTW specifically.

Reviewer: D. Patterson, Philly
My wife is a HUGE GWTW fan so I bought the BluRay version of this for Valentine's day. The box set itself is quite impressive. Well crafted and chock full of goodies and inside info. The most fun is probably the telegrams being sent back and forth talking about casting and locations and such. Neat stuff.

The movie itself is still as good now as when it was made. The restoration looks flawless and might very well be better than when it was originally shown. My 13 year old daughter even managed to sit thru all 4 hours of this movie. No mean feat, I can tell you.

It's quite pricey ($70 for BluRay), but if you are big time fan of GWTW, I recommend picking it up
Well at least my mom does...

Reviewer: Shizon,
Plenty of Gone with the Wind for any fan although pretty sure they have an #? Anniversary addition out so might want to check that out first.
