Ann and I watched this epic film last night. A few thoughts:
• Directing of the burning of Atlanta was spectacular;
• Unbelievable cinematography for a movie made in 1939;
• Clark Gable should have got the Oscar for his brilliant performance;
• Vivien Leigh made Scarlett come off the pages of the book;
• Great onscreen chemistry between Gable and Leigh;
• The backdrop of the South in the Civil War was heartbreaking;
• Hattie McDaniel was simply wonderful as Mammy;
• I loved the contrast in character between Melanie and Scarlett;
• The movie showed the different sides of what it means to be honorable;
• I think it is one of the best movies of all time.
I love this movie and, on a scale of ten, give it ★★★★★★★★★★.

My favorite movie!
ReplyDeleteProbably in my top 10 Alice. Had not sat down and watched it for many years. It was like watching it all over again.
DeleteI can't even remember the last time I watched this movie. I know that I own the DVD. I think I need to try it again!!
ReplyDeleteSundance was having a marathon and I recorded it Debby. Thanksgiving evening seemed like a good time to watch it again.
