David O. Selznick wanted Gone with the Wind to be somehow
more than a movie, a film that would broaden the very idea of
what a film could be and do and look like. In many respects he
got what he worked so hard to achieve in this 1939 epic
(and all-time box-office champ in terms of tickets sold),
and in some respects he fell far short of the goal. While
the first half of this Civil War drama is taut and suspenseful
and nostalgic, the second is ramshackle and arbitrary. But
there's no question that the film is an enormous achievement
in terms of its every resource--art direction, color, sound,
cinematography--being pushed to new limits for the greater
glory of telling an American story as fully as possible.
Vivien Leigh is still magnificently narcissistic, Olivia
de Havilland angelic and lovely, Leslie Howard reckless and
aristocratic. As for Clark Gable: we're talking one of the
most vital, masculine performances ever committed to film.
The DVD release has optional French subtitles and theatrical trailer. --Tom Keogh
