Gone with the Wind (1939): Epic Civil War Drama. Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable


     Directed by Victor Fleming, based on the novel by Margaret Mitchell, Gone with the Wind (1939) is widely considered to be one of the best films ever made. The epic drama of the Old South unfolding during the bloody Civil War is a true Classic in every sense of the word. Strong-willed Scarlett O'Hara and roguish Rhett Butler provide one of the most memorable and tempestuous romances ever written. The 19th Century details and Technicolor cinematography are simply dazzling. The cast does a great job, including Vivien Leigh as Scarlett, Clark Gable as Rhett, Olivia de Havilland and Leslie Howard.
