Review of Gone with the Wind (1939) by Andy P — 07 Feb 2015
The soapy second half concerning the postbellum ups and downs of the marriage of Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh's characters is far less compelling than the war-time romances that brought them together in the first, which is mostly commendable for its tremendous and extravagant set pieces; the pull-away from Vivien Leigh to show a field full of wounded soldiers, and the dashing through the blazes of a burning Atlanta.
Nonetheless, as a whole, this grand production still stands as one of the most enduring films of the era despite the overt racism (happy devoted slaves, the Confederates depicted as heroic and their cause noble).
