Gone With The Wind (70th Anniversary Edition) (Blu-ray)

Victor Fleming, 1939

Gone With The Wind (70th Anniversary Edition) (Blu-ray) Trailer

 

Star Review

Recently named the 'Ultimate Film' by the bfi, having been seen at the cinema by more British people than any other (around 35 million at last count), Gone With The Wind at last gets the lavish DVD treatment it deserves. Although the racism and chauvinism may shock today's audiences, the character of Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) is as indelible as ever - this flawed protagonist remains one of cinema's greatest creations, and Leigh's Oscar was as deserved as it was inevitable. The gloriously melodramatic score and the lavish production design are still splendid, the most famous lines are still resonant and beautifully-delivered, and Gone With The Wind is still one of the most purely enjoyable films ever made.

Film Description

Simply one of the most celebrated films in cinema history and an absorbing film version of Margaret Mitchell's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about life in America's Deep South during the Civil War.

This sprawling American Civil War saga sees Southern belle Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) use men to get what she wants - but cannot get the one man she truly desires, Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard). She soon meets her match in the roguish Captain Rhett Butler (Clark Gable) and in the war itself which destroys the genteel way of life she has always known. With determination she rebuilds her life from the shattered remains the Union Army left behind. Despite its sometimes troubled production (director George Cukor was replaced by Victor Fleming, with Sam Wood brought in when Fleming's health failed), the film won ten Oscars, including Best Picture, Actor and Actress.
