Gone with the Wind stands around on its own foot purely out of size and story complexity... They threw in many good things, and everything else but a towel.

The performances, set designs, costumes, Technicolor photography, and Max Steiner’s exhilarating score keep this film as bewildering and extravagant a film today as it ever was.

It remains the most seen film in cinema history, not only because Selznick produced a monumental motion picture of immaculate quality, but because he knew how to sell it as an event.

The entire cast is about as flawless as I have ever seen in one picture.

It is a film so misguided and ignorant that odds are that if you have seen it, you likely only remember one or two iconic scenes and have nary a recollection of the rest. Gone With The Wind is quite literally not worth giving a damn.

One of the first technicolor films made by Hollywood, the panning shot of injured and dead soldiers littering a street remains unforgettable...

One of the first technicolor films made by Hollywood, the panning shot of injured and dead soldiers littering a street remains unforgettable...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 7, 2020

No other movie has had quite the impact, the influence, or the epic feel (perhaps as only a nearly four-hour-long production could create) of this unmistakable masterpiece.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Jul 27, 2020

True to the book, the film of Gone With The Wind is held together by its heroine.

"Hey kids, wanna watch a four-hour-long romantic melodrama, told from the sympathetic perspective of the racist slave owners who lost the Civil War?"

| Original Score: 5/5 | May 12, 2020

Victor Fleming's direction has abundant artistic successes. [Full review in Spanish]

In casting Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara, Clark Gable as RhettButler, Olivia De Havilland as Melanie and Leslie Howard as Ashley Wilkes, [David O. Selznick] brought the major characters to life just as they existed in the book.

Miss Mitchell used 475,000 words to tell her story. Three hours 45 minutes is not a second too long in which to recount it in the film transcription.

Clark Gable sends a refreshing blast of cynicism through a narrative which otherwise would have been over-sweet.

This danger-fraught material should be left to inspired writers... Mediocre reactionary writers shouldn't play around with so much dynamite for the mere sake of giving the sensation-loving masses a thrill.

The only help we can give [a future researcher] is to explain that the burning question of our day was not a question of the value of this work as a piece of historic documentation: our public was concerned chiefly with the techniques of histrionic art.

It's corny and blowsy and phony, the slide trombone in the cinematic orchestra, and yet it is not boring.

I enjoy watching it but I acknowledge all those flaws.

| Original Score: B | Apr 4, 2019

"Gone With the Wind" offers the kind of big, rich, opulent experience the movies are in a unique position to offer but seldom do.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jan 29, 2019

For anyone older who wants a reminiscent trip into the early war years, and how it felt to look at someone else's high-coloured war when you had no idea what your own was bringing, again this is it.
