Set during the Civil War, this film tells the story of headstrong and selfish Scarlett O’Hara, and the blockade running rogue, Rhett Butler.

This is the film that got me in to classic films to begin with. Everything about it is beautiful; from Jack Cosgrove’s painted backgrounds to Max Steiner’s scoreto Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh in the leads. Gone with the Wind is romance, loss, and every emotion in between. It’s themes appeal to people of all generations all around the world and it is deserving of its lasting popularity. This is what epic filmmaking is all about.
