CLIP DESCRIPTION:
On his way to join the
Confederate Army, Rhett (
Clark Gable) professes his love for
Scarlett (
Vivien Leigh), but she rejects him harshly.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Gone With the Wind boils down to a story about a spoiled
Southern girl's hopeless love for a married man.
Producer David O. Selznick managed to expand this concept, and
Margaret Mitchell's best-selling novel, into nearly four hours' worth of screen time, on a then-astronomical 3.7-million-dollar budget, creating what would become one of the most beloved movies of all time. Gone With the Wind opens in April of 1861, at the palatial Southern estate of
Tara, where
Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) hears that her casual beau
Ashley Wilkes (
Leslie Howard) plans to marry "mealy mouthed"
Melanie Hamilton (
Olivia de Havilland).
Despite warnings from her father (
Thomas Mitchell) and her faithful servant
Mammy (
Hattie McDaniel), Scarlett intends to throw herself at
Ashley at an upcoming barbecue at
Twelve Oaks.
Alone with Ashley, she goes into a fit of histrionics, all of which is witnessed by roguish
Rhett Butler (Clark Gable), the black sheep of a wealthy
Charleston family, who is instantly fascinated by the feisty, thoroughly self-centered Scarlett: "We're bad lots, both of us." The movie's famous action continues from the burning of
Atlanta (actually the destruction of a huge wall left over from
King Kong) through the now-classic closing line, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."
Holding its own against stiff competition (many consider
1939 to be the greatest year of the classical
Hollywood studios), Gone With the Wind won ten
Academy Awards, including
Best Picture,
Best Director,
Best Screenplay,
Best Actress (Vivien Leigh), and
Best Supporting Actress (Hattie McDaniel, the first African-American to win an
Oscar). The film grossed nearly
192 million dollars, assuring that, just as he predicted, Selznick's epitaph would be "
The Man Who Made Gone With the Wind."
