    Storyline

    Edit
    Scarlett is a woman who can deal with a nation at war, Atlanta burning, the Union Army carrying off everything from her beloved Tara, the carpetbaggers who arrive after the war. Scarlett is beautiful. She has vitality. But Ashley, the man she has wanted for so long, is going to marry his placid cousin, Melanie. Mammy warns Scarlett to behave herself at the party at Twelve Oaks. There is a new man there that day, the day the Civil War begins. Rhett Butler. Scarlett does not know he is in the room when she pleads with Ashley to choose her instead of Melanie. —Dale O'Connor <daleoc@interaccess.com>

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The fact that Hattie McDaniel would be unable to attend the premiere in racially segregated Atlanta outraged Clark Gable so much that he threatened to boycott the premiere unless she could attend. He later relented when she convinced him to go.
    • Goofs
      After Ashley Wilkes is carried into his room from a night at Belle's place, Melanie picks up a lamp with an electric cord attached.
    • Quotes

      Scarlett: Rhett, Rhett... Rhett, if you go, where shall I go? What shall I do?

      Rhett Butler: Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

    • Crazy credits
      George Reeves is credited as playing the part of Brent Tarleton, and Fred Crane is billed as Stuart Tarleton. This is incorrect: Crane played Brent, and Reeves played Stuart.
    • Alternate versions
      When originally released theatrically in the UK in 1940, the BBFC made cuts to secure a 'A' rating.
    • Connections
      Edited into Raintree County (1957)
    • Soundtracks

    8/10
    Even after years of being made.. it is good!
    I wish people made more movies like this nowadays..

    Yes! The movie is LONG, but the development of the main character has you swinging from liking her to hating her, to agreeing with her, to.. all sort of emotions!! It is well worth anyone's time. These characters feel SO real! It's like a perfect summarized soap opera. Anyone studying movie-writing should check this adaptation of the book. Would recommend to anyone.

    And make yourself a favor and don't watch the sequel.. the movie ends the way it does for a reason.
