Director: Victor Fleming

A scheming and manipulative Scarlett O’Hara played by British actress Vivian Leigh embraces her inner Southern belle and carries on a turbulent affair with Rhett Butler, a blockade runner played by Clark Gable, against the backdrop of the American Civil War and the burning of Atlanta. Perhaps the happiest depiction of slavery on film, Gone with the Wind is a powerful display of epic storytelling and features the full might of big studio production and the star power of 1930’s Hollywood.
