Gone with the wind was the last movie I saw in black and white in english. It was a narrative and the story was deceptive. I loved the movie and supposed to buy a cd of the same but couldnt get one as its not available in the market! Did you see this movie?

Yes, but the one I saw is in color. Main cast are Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable. I never read the book though. I will,if i can find free copy online.

Reviews say that this film is very good because it is very the same to the written version. But I still like to read, in reading you can use your imagination that you may not see when you watch film.

I love this film and it is particularly good as it follows the book so closely. Usually when I have read a book I will find the film version disappointing but in this instance they were both wonderful and the film was cast perfectly. It is a classic epic to be returned to many times.

The movie gone with wind was shot in Technicolor not in black and white. Clark gable was a big heart throb back then and Vivien Leigh was very beautiful too. Only two actresses had done films in color at the time. Vivien Leigh and Olivia de Havilland. Lucille ball was at one time considered for the part of scarett. I can't imagine her in that part. some where I read that it was the most sold book after the Bible

Barely 10 years after talking pictures were first created; less than that after the first full-length color feature film was created; near the end of the greatest depression this country ever experienced, and in which pretty much the only entertainment available to most was radio or the movies; David O Selznik decided to turn the biggest pot-boiler blockbuster novel into a movie.

And what a movie. Stunning color, the most popular mail actor of his time, perfect music score, incredible action scenes, story line only 70 years removed from when it happened, and on, and on. Can you imagine what a store-clerk or a farmer, or a teacher experienced in that world, seeing Gone With the Wind? What was there to compare with? 1939 was a watershed year for great movies, and this one was the greatest produced. Try watching this movie as if there were no TV, no DVD's, only a few radio stations, spending maybe the second to the last quarter you owned, never having seen such a movie before, and you get what I mean. Masterful for its time, and still timeless today.
