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

 Nice collector's edition if you need to make a paperwork for this movie June 28, 2009
Miguel Murillo Cordero (Alajuela, Costa Rica)
I bought it as a gift for my mom, since she always talked about this movie and everything. I bought the collector edition cuz it looked fine, but it is only 2 extra DVD's with a bunch of story of how it was filmed, and colored by digital, and bla bla.
If you are that much of a fan of classics and want all the details this is for you
The Greatest Film Ever Made... June 10, 2009
Atticus (Omaha, NE, USA)

GONE WITH THE WIND doesn't top the AFI's Top Movies list, but, from a person that's seen all of the films preceding it (excluding THE GODFATHER), it should be. This is a marvellous film, and what makes it the greatest is that it fully utilizes and takes advantage of every means that movies can use to astound us. Here in this movie we have memorable dialogue, rich, developed characters, grand, sweeping visuals, an unabashadley romantic plot, taut suspense, and a lucious score.
I won't bother to describe the plot; everyone knows what it is. But I will take some time to praise the acting, which is amazing. Vivien Leigh is perfect in her role as Scarlett, the main character. Scarlett is a very unique character, very cunning, ruthless, and manipulating but also extremely sympathetic. I attribute this completely to Leigh's brilliant acting. Clark Gable is good in his role as her lover (and later husband) Rhett Butler, but, in my opinion, he always takes backseat to Leigh in his scenes with her. Both Olivia de Havilland and Hattie McDaniel were nominated for Oscars for their supporting performances as Melanie Wilkes (Scarlett's love's wife) and Mammy (Scarlett's maid and caretaker), respectively. McDaniel won, and though de Havilland's is the better performance, her's was exceptional as well. Another true gem in this movie is Ona Munson as Rhett's friend the prostitute Belle Watling, with an undesirable life but a heart of gold. Her brief scene with Melanie in the buggy is high on my list of the most beautiful cinematic moments.
This is a film for the ages, to be adored by generations. It is truly perfect, and it would be pretty hard not to love it. Share it with your kids. It's a perfect gateway into cinematic magic.

Toni Gacka (Rye Brook, NY United States)
The second disc was unviewable....the video dragged and the audio was bad. After contacting the seller I have yet to hear anything.
Gone with the Wind not gone May 30, 2009
Louise A. Mason (West Chester,Pa)
This film,always a classic, arrived within the scheduled time period. The film case was in good shape,just a few scratches. The film itself is in excellent condition: color and sound are great. The film still has appeal: doesn't matter that it was originally produced seventy years ago. Thoroughly enjoyed watching it,again!
