Title: The grandest movie of all time
Review: Whenever I watch "Gone With the Wind," I always try to imagine what people in 1939 watching it for the very first time must have thought of it. Sound had only been prevalent in movies for only ten years or so. Full-color was very rare (1937's "A Star is Born" and "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" are earlier examples, as is 1939's "Wizard of Oz"). And this wasn't just color, this was absolutely magnificent. I'm more impressed with the technicolor in "Gone With the Wind" than I am by movies made today. No wonder this film has been viewed in theaters by more people over the years than any other film in history.Besides the film's technical merits and its pure spectacle, it is also a very moving drama about compelling characters. Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh give wonderful performances. This film is a national treasure and cannot be recommended highly enough.
