Gone With the Wind has always been my favorite movie. It has never lost it's magic touch on me. The story is very beautiful and enhanced by David O. Selznick's wonderful filming. None of the characters are shallow. There's war and adventure, there's history, there's the beautiful representation of the antebellum South and most of all, there's a love story that will make all romantics cry at the end. There is also the dazzling array of stars. Vivien Leigh is radiant as Scarlett, Clark Gable alluring as Rhett, Olivia De Havilland angelic as Melanie and Leslie Howard haunting as Ashley. Along with the principal cast, there's also many fine actors in supporting roles: Thomas Mitchell, Hattie McDaniel, Barbara O'Neill, Ann Rutherford, and Evelyn Keyes.
The movie is perfection in every matter.
