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. --Tom Keogh

there's much for men to love about "GONE WITH THE WIND" ? did i just type that ? the greatest pleasure for men in this admittedly awesome soap opera is no doubt the peerless CLARK GABLE . i've seen a raft of film in my 4 1/2 + decades on this sphere . i have never witnessed an actor relish delivering such a smack laden performance in my life . at the very peak of his formidable game GABLE dug in and truly delivered the goods . it's all a hoot . the woman are lovely . the story very involving . the production incredible . the direction fantastic . you take GABLE out of the equation though ? great film . phenomenal performance . check it out if you haven't already .

had my doubts about improving dvd into blu ray of a 70 year old movie,but no more!crystal clear reproduction of the classic to see it the way it was meant to see.for all those that have the previous GWTW on dvd-spend the$45 to get the blu ray edition.it is like night&day.

WHAT'S THERE TO SAY. IT'S GONE WITH THE WIND. PROBABLY THE BEST FILM EVER PRODUCED. NOTHING HAS SURPASSED IT SO FAR, EXCEPT IN SPECIAL EFFECTS, TITANIC HAS COME VERY CLOSE AND IN STORY LING BROKEBACK HAS COME CLOSE.
I GOT THE REGULAR BLURAY EDITION AT TARGET, WHERE THAT EDITION WAS ONLY AVAILABLE.
IF YOU CAN LAST THE 3 HOURS, YOU WIL NOT FORGET THEIS LEDGEN.

One of the greatest films of all time, GWTW is a fascinating depiction of Southern life during and after the Civil War. This review, however, is for the product, not the film. I give the product four out of five stars for the following reasons:
1) This edition comes with many extras, even a recreation of the program used 70 years ago. Also included is a sample of the original motion picture soundtrack and roughly eight hours worth of bonus features, including documentaries, commentary, and more. While the product description mentions ten 5"x7" water color pictures (which it does include), it also comes with recreated telegrams, letters and more from the cast, crew and production company.
2) The film transfer is beautifully done. The film flows smoothly and is featured on two DVDs. While that is rather annoying, having to get up and change DVDs or wait as the player automatically shifts between the two, that sacrifice for the beauty of the film is well worth it.
3) The price is rather high for what you get. I love the film and had no problem paying the money for it, but the price is still rather high. Taking into account all the facts that there are only 150,000 copies out there, the price seems rather reasonable for such a "rare" item. Even with that, it's still rather high.
All in all, definitely worth the value you put into it. One quick side note here before I finish. The film IS presented in original format, which is FULLSCREEN. Films prior to 1953 were not shown in theaters in what we now know as WIDESCREEN. This was developed in the early fifties during the television boom to help add to the experience movie-goers wanted. EVEN WITH THAT IN MIND, the set is great and I highly recommend it.
