official description

Swashbuckling producer David O. Selznick's epic screen version of Margaret Mitchell's best-selling novel was the original blockbuster, the highest-grossing film of all time at the domestic box office when adjusted for inflation. Vivien Leigh, selected after a much-publicized two-year search, won an Academy Award® and earned a permanent place in film history as fiery Southern belle Scarlett O’Hara, who goes through three husbands, one Civil War, and innumerable fortunes and misfortunes during her tempestuous, years-long romance/battle of wills with roguish adventurer Rhett Butler (Clark Gable). Employing at various times at least five screenwriters, two cinematographers and three directors, Gone With the Wind is the ne plus ultra of Hollywood's industrialized form of collaborative creation. "What more can one say about this much-loved, much discussed blockbuster? It epitomises Hollywood at its most ambitious" (Time Out London).
