 "Gone with the Wind" also held the record for most nominations until "All About Eve" (1950) secured fourteen.It was the longest American sound film made up to that point, and may still hold the record of the longest Best Picture winner depending on how it is interpreted.The running time for "Gone with the Wind" is just under 221 minutes, while "Lawrence of Arabia" (1962) runs for just over 222 minutes; however, including the overture, intermission, entr'acte, and exit music, "Gone with the Wind" lasts for 234 minutes (although some sources put its full length at 238 minutes) while "Lawrence of Arabia" comes in slightly shorter at 232 minutes with its additional components.
