Review of Gone with the Wind (1939) by Francis M — 07 Dec 2014
A rom com interlaced with a war drama, segueing into a refugee movie, into woman of commerce movie, and finally into a marriage drama. Lots of strong (if sometimes melodramatic) performances. Gorgeous lighting and color.
The amalgam of popular genres supported by technical excellence were probably a big factor in the movie's success; something for everyone. Clark Gable's romantic Rhett Butler as the rebellious, clear-eyed voice of reason helped a bit, too, I'd say, bridging the divide between Northern and Southern sentiments.
