Once again Bibliotecha di Studio Uno comically ruins a great work of classical literature. They ruined The Three Musketeers and other works. Whynot Gone with the Wind? This film is pretty faithful to the 1939 movie. It starts out with the slaves singing gospel. Then Scarlett(Rossela) finding out from the Tartleton brothers about Ashley Wilkes up and coming marriage to Melanie Hamilton.Then Gerald lectures his daughter on Ashley Wilkes.Then Scarlett's mother and sisters are introduced. Scarlet has three black mammies getting her ready for the Wilkes barbecue. The Wilkes Barbecue starts out with dancing to the theme Oklahoma and Ashley later on singing the theme from Wizard of Oz Somewhere Over the Rainbow to his cousin who is also his fiancée Melanie Wilkes. None of the actors in this spoof resemble the characters described in the book or physically resemble the actors of the 1939 film. The sets are definitely the Italian Golden Age of Television (other words not very good!). Scarlett or Rossella is a long in the tooth bleached blonde.Rhett is no Clark Gable.Melanie is far from a plain Jane.Ashley Wilkes is probably the best cast in this production.Charles Hamilton is the one of the most miscast of all short,little Mediterranean looking man and Gerald O'Hara is definitely not the stocky character of the book or 1939 film. For someone who is a fan of anything Gone with the Wind whether it be the book and or one its numerous non-Margaret Mitchell sequels or the 1939 Film or the 1990's Scarlett sequel.This is a keeper and if you happened to watch Carol Burnett's 1976 spoof of Gone with the Wind you might enjoy this!This can be viewed in several parts on YouTube. If you speak Italian or any of the Romance languages it is even more enjoyeable.
