À propos de ce film

Producer David O. Selznick’s acclaimed screen adaptation of Margaret Mitchell’s best-selling novel tells of the romance between the tempestuous Scarlett O’Hara (Vivien Leigh) and the dashing Rhett Butler (Clark Gable), against the tragic backdrop of the Civil War. This legendary classic earned 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actress, (Leigh) Best Director (Victor Fleming), and Best Supporting Actress to Hattie McDaniel, the first Oscar ever awarded to an African American performer.  One of the highest-grossing films of all time (when adjusted for inflation), it is also very much a product of its time, and unfortunately reflects depictions of characters and themes which are offensive and problematic when viewed by contemporary audiences. The film is presented here as originally released in 1939, because to do otherwise would be the equivalent of stating the prejudices and attitudes never existed.

Notes et avis

Despite being a a classic Hollywood film with the infamous quote: "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn," from Rhett Butler, it has aged poorly in recent years. I loathe the character Prissy who is a horrible portrayal of African-Americans during the Reconstruction Era. Scarlett O'Hara is a selfish, vapid spoiled woman who really needs an attitude adjustment and reality check. The KKK Clan references are unsettling to say the least. It's overrated, but the costumes are nice.

This movie was made in 1939 that over 80 yr go. There was no CG or cut re do big scenes roll and hope for the best and this movie is one of the greatest every made. If u have people still talking about it now. Nothing made like this anymore. ❣❣❣❣

I love the movie Gone With the Wind. It is one of the best movie ever made. The characters that played their parts were the greatest actors. Especially Clark Gable Ms Prissy. Just love this movie. Scarlett outstanding characters. This movie is History of the Civil War and couldn't describe it any better. Excellent classic movie.
