Outstanding documentary dealing with the trials and tribulations of making this 1939 monumental pictures.
There were plenty of problems in production, casting,etc. Who knew that Paulette Goddard came so close to playing Scarlett O'Hara or that Jeffrey Lynn was so inadequate in the role of Ashley Wilkes?
Made at the time that Hitler and Mussolini were menacing Europe, there is plenty of backstage gossip.
David O. Selznick was a brilliant producer. His on screen disagreements with famed director George Cukor led to the latter leaving the film.
The writing of Margaret Mitchell's classic book for motion picture viewing was memorably discussed.
It was wonderful seeing many of the cast members participate in this wonderful documentary.
Hattie McDaniel's supporting Oscar's acceptance speech must serve as an inspiration to us all. Like so many in the memorable cast, she left us way too young.
