Recommended Gone With The Wind (Special Edition)

Victor Fleming, 1939

Star Review

Recently named the 'Ultimate Film' by the bfi, having been seen at the cinema by more British people than any other (around 35 million at last count), Gone With The Wind at last gets the lavish DVD treatment it deserves. Although the racism and chauvinism may shock today's audiences, the character of Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) is as indelible as ever - this flawed protagonist remains one of cinema's greatest creations, and Leigh's Oscar was as deserved as it was inevitable. The gloriously melodramatic score and the lavish production design are still splendid, the most famous lines are still resonant and beautifully-delivered, and Gone With The Wind is still one of the most purely enjoyable films ever made.
