Cabrían muchas interpretaciones a la luz de los tiempos actuales, pero abstrayéndonos de las tendencias, es una de las mejores películas jamás hechas, que hoy no podría volver hacerse porque seria inasequible económicamente. Its sparkling dialogue, the intriguingly complex relationship between Scarlett and Rhett, a sprawlingly epic scope, a flair that transcends the maudlin or traditionally melodramatic, and its visual spectacle made the film the most colossal success of its era, and Gone with the Wind has yet to be rivaled in the seven decades that have since passed.

Some of the actors, directors, and producers featured here in interviews new and old are Katharine Hepburn, Mickey Rooney, Roddy McDowall, Cyd Charisse, Debbie Reynolds, June Allyson, Margaret Sullivan, Van Johnson, Ricardo Montalban, Groucho Marx, Charlton Heston, Gene Kelly, Joan Crawford, John Huston, David Lean, Judy Garland, Johnny Weissmuller, Richard Brooks, and Samuel Marx. Read more about the condition New: An item that is still in its original shrink wrap from the manufacturer and the original manufacturer’s seal (if applicable) has not been removed. Epic romantic drama based on Margaret Mitchell's Pulitzer-winning novel set during the American Civil War. Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered, a Civilization gone with the wind.Otherwise, few stones are left unturned, aiming its spotlight at key members of the small army of technical talent on-staff at MGM, dozens of the studio's most notable films, and both the producers that steered such a mighty ship and the dazzling roster of talent that propelled it along. It is a must-have for fans of Gone With The Wind and Old Hollywood and ideal for those interested in films. Scarlett clearly finds some comfort in the convenience of a reasonably loyal multimillionaire, but it's never overwhelmingly clear how much more than that, if anything at all, Rhett actually means to her. The list of smaller but memorable parts seems endless: Thomas Mitchell as Scarlett's Irish immigrant father who instills in her a profound love of the land, Evelyn Keyes as her spoiled, impossibly jealous younger sister, Butterfly McQueen whose squeaked "I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' babies! Some have been turned off by the daunting length of the film, particularly in a second half that's so intensely oriented around the relationship between Rhett and Scarlett.

This segment's primary focus is on the two forces that propelled MGM to become the largest, most successful, and most admired studio in Hollywood: wunderkind head of production Irving Thalberg and studio chief Louis B. Olivia de Havilland -- one of just a tiny handful of Gone with the Wind's credited actors still surviving today -- is able to relate her experiences herself, and the conversation never veers away from this film. Though much of this information is also contained in Rudy Behlmer's audio commentary, the presentation here is still compelling, and if nothing else, Making of a Legend is worth watching for the screentests alone. This segment also touches on the shifting balances of power throughout Hollywood as a whole, including the arrival of such Method actors as Brando, the power of the producer making way for directors craving more creative control, and the reluctant embrace of darker themes and more graphic violence.Despite the daunting four hour length of this cut of the film, the storytelling and its richly-drawn characters are so unrelentingly engaging that it feels as if Gone with the Wind unspools for just a fraction of that runtime. Although Gone with the Wind's primary interest is undoubtably its characters, the film still serves as a visual spectacle.

Try to imagine any star today filling Gables’s shoes as Rhett Butler in Gone With The Wind and you’ll see what I mean.

Behlmar is even able to point out which sequences were reshot as the film changed hands from director to director and as dailies failed to match Selznick's vision, and deleted scenes are another favorite topic.

Perhaps it's that the sprawling scope of The Wizard of Oz's extras spoiled me, but this second disc seems more limited than I would've preferred to have seen.Scarlett's epiphany that closes out the film is preceded by swirling voices that also take advantage of the many channels at its disposal. But these are really backdrops to the story about the relationships of the main characters and their families. Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centres that host Etsy. The highlight is a three page set of production notes that delves into precisely how many feet of film were shot, that a literal translation of the novel would demand right at a full week to unspool, and just how many sketches, costumes, technicians, sets, and even specific types of animals were necessary to bring Gone with the Wind roaring to life. If you’ve already done that, your item hasn’t arrived, or it’s not as described, you can report that to Etsy by opening a case.
