Obviously this review is just the glimpse and tidbit that you need to expect when you are planning to watch this greatest and most popular films of all time. because after watching it you will be consenting with me when I say the film is an enormous achievement in terms of its every resource, art direction, color, sound, cinematography being pushed to new limits for the greater glory of telling an American story as fully as possible. Vivien Leigh is still magnificently narcissistic, Olivia de Havilland angelic and lovely, Leslie Howard reckless and aristocratic. As for Clark Gable: we're talking one of the most vital, masculine performances ever committed to film. So what more could you ask for? Surely you would by that time be sufficiently contempt as you have digested the storyline to its larger scale.
