GWTW is a timeless international classic. Whenever a lifestyle is oppressed by civil war or any war, this film surfaces. It is also a love story never to be forgotten and the growing-up tale of a belle who has to fight for her life and family.

It was one of the first movies my mother took me to see in a theater. The romance was not as sappy as many are, and Scarlet was one of the first heroines I encountered who could think for herself and live with the consequences. Scarlet changed with the times but stayed true to herself.
