The Rhett Butler part was written for Gable, who before he took the part had some doubts if he could live up to the part's bigger-than-life expectations.
This is witnessed by the rogueish Rhett Butler (Clark Gable), accused of being a wartime profiteer and recognized as the fl sheep of a wealthy Charleston family, who immediately falls for the spirited and sexy Scarlett, as he recognizes in her similar qualities he possesses: "we're bad lots, both of us."
Rhett can't get over the hots he has for Scarlett, and though he knows she's attracted to him she goes through two marriages before they get married.
