Fun Film Info

When Gary Cooper turned down the role for Rhett Butler, he was passionately against it. He is quoted saying both, "'Gone With The Wind' is going to be the biggest flop in Hollywood history," and, "I'm just glad it'll be Clark Gable who's falling on his face and not Gary Cooper." First colour film to win Best Picture at the Oscars. Half a million feet of film were shot. This was all edited down to 20,000 feet. One month after the book was published, David O. Selznick purchased the movie rights from Margaret Mitchell for an unprecedented $50,000. At the time it was the highest sum that had ever been paid for an author's first novel. Selznick gave her an additional $50,000 as a bonus when he dissolved Selznick-International Pictures in 1942.

Quotes

Scarlett: Rhett, Rhett... Rhett, if you go, where shall I go? What shall I do? Rhett Butler: Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. Scarlett: Sir, you are no gentleman. Rhett Butler: And you, Miss, are no lady. Rhett Butler: I've always thought a good lashing with a buggy whip would benefit you immensely.
