Gone With the Wind

Caustic love story of epic proportions stars one of the most famous couples in the history of film. Against the backdrop of the American Civil War, spoilt ‘southern belle’ Scarlett O'Hara finds out love’s path is not all that smooth when she meets Rhett Butler.
Gone with the Wind, the almost four-hour long film starring Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh as ill-fated lovers, is a genuine classic. Based on the novel of the same name by Margaret Mitchell, the film supplied “the most memorable American movie quotation of all time” according to the American Film Institute.The film won ten Oscars, including Academy Awards for Best Film, Director, Photography, Leading Actress and Screenplay. The Oscar for Best Supporting Actress went to Hattie McDaniel, the first Afro-American actress to win an Academy Award.
