Watching Scarlett O’Hara transition from a very pampered, spoiled, whiny, self-centered plantation belle to a woman of great spirit and strength in GONE WITH THE WIND is remarkable. GONE WITH THE WIND is a soaper set against the most splendid of backdrops; the civil war. Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable are still the most memorable couple in cinematic history and their romantic scenes are still wonderful to watch. David O. Selznick’s crowning achievement as a producer and Victor Fleming’s best film as a director. The technicolor is still some of the richest and most powerful of film history. This blew audiences and critics away in 1939 and it does not fail to enthrall even today. it actually only improves with age. Unfortunately, many of the post-baby boom generation visiting this site have not had a chance to see, or be impressed by the 1939 classic GONE WITH THE WIND. The Tivoli is offering this chance to see it on the big screen and I hope everyone take advantage of this opportunity.
