Synopsis:
Hot-tempered, self-centered, part-Irish Southern beauty
Scarlett O'Hara, played to the teeth by Vivien Leigh, loves the gentlemanly
Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard). Smug, rebellious, honest, blockade-running
profiteer Rhett Butler, portrayed gracefully and naturally by Clark Gable, loves
Scarlett. Ashley, who is also in love with Scarlett, marries his genteel cousin
Melanie (Olivia de Havilland) because he believes that their quiet similarities
will create a better marriage than Scarlett's passion. Meanwhile, sparks fly
between Rhett and Scarlett at their first encounter and continue throughout
Scarlett's first two marriages. Scarlett and Rhett finally wed, but Scarlett
continues to pine for her beloved Ashley. Set against the Civil War and Southern
Reconstruction, this tragic love quadrangle offers the burning of Atlanta and
fields of wounded Confederates as part of its lush scenery. Meticulous
backdrops, glorious sunsets, numerous silhouettes, and the ultrasaturated
Technicolor film create a hyperreal vision. The romantic score is every bit as
lush and dramatic as the photography, borrowing folk melodies from the Old South
to make the tragic war concrete. Heavy nostalgic tones pervade the often witty
dialogue and larger-than-life charms and faults of the leads. Gone With the
Wind stands among the greatest epic dramas ever filmed.
