New Georgia Encyclopedia: Gone With the Wind (Film) The film is a relatively faithful adaptation of the novel, despite a handful of significant changes. Although the film provides a compelling if romanticized portrait of the southern planter class, it vilifies the white lower class (mainly represented by the overseer Jonas Wilkerson), and slaves and exslaves are viewed both as clowns and as faithful servants. Gone With the Wind was widely praised as a landmark achievement, and critics continue to regard it as important for its cinematography, art direction, and special effects, and for its ambitious portrayal of history. www.georgiaencyclopedia.org /nge/Article.jsp?id=h-2472   (1558 words)

Review: Gone With the Wind Gone with the Wind is a very good movie, perhaps bordering on being great, but its subject matter and running time (which is easily 60 minutes too long) argue against its status as a masterpiece. Gone with the Wind has one of the best-known storylines of any film, due in large part to the popularity of the source material, Margaret Mitchell's best-selling 1936 book. Gone with the Wind avoids becoming hopelessly maudlin by peppering the lengthy storyline with a variety of lively and humorous sequences. www.reelviews.net /movies/g/gone_wind.html   (1705 words)

Gone With the Wind (1939) - Talk - Spout   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Gone With the Wind opens in April of 1861, at the palatial Southern estate of Tara, where Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) hears that her casual beau Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard) plans to marry "mealy mouthed" Melanie Hamilton (Olivia de Havilland). As epic as the 1,000-plus-page Margaret Mitchell bestseller on which it was based, David O. Selznick's production of Gone With the Wind (1939) went through three directors, a well-publicized search for Scarlett O'Hara, and a then-enormous four-million-dollar budget, resulting in one of the all-time highest-grossing movies. While the film is grand in scale (and length), its cast, especially relative unknown Vivien Leigh as Scarlett and MGM king Clark Gable as Rhett, made the narrative as engrossing as the spectacular recreation of the burning of Atlanta (in which old sets were torched). www.spout.com /films/GoneWiththeWind/13767/default.aspx   (895 words)

At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Gone With the Wind (1939) One of the most famous films ever made, Gone With the Wind is a sweeping Civil War era romance about the strong-willed Scarlet O'Hara and her desperate struggle to gain -- then, later, hold on to -- what she wants. The great virtue of Gone With the Wind is that it doesn't attempt to decide these things for the viewer, yet it also knows not to hold back in other areas. The result is that Gone With the Wind comes off as one of the greatest cinematic tragic romances ever -- between characters in love, yet so hopelessly blind and incapable of change that their relationship is doomed from the start. www.rinkworks.com /movies/m/gone.with.the.wind.1939.shtml   (355 words)
