WHAT IS IT ABOUT?: Civil War drama focuses on the life of Scarlett O'Hara (Leigh). It fallows her story from her wealthy life (as the daughter of a plantation owner in the south), through the horrors of the Civil War, the Recontruction, and her romances with Ashley Wilkes and Reth Butler (Gable).
BEST LINE:Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn
WHAT DO I THINK: One of the most profitable formula: A great romantic story taking place during extremely hard times. Can be only compared to one other film using the same formula, the one about the sinking boat. As good as classic Hollywood gets. Great visual effects make the movie as amazing as the day it came out. A strugling love story that even surpassed today's standards.
