To My
"Gone With The Wind" Page
I have always
been an avid fan
of this movie
and wanted to create
a page for
your enjoyment.
I started
collecting memorabilia
from the movie
over 20 years ago.
I have quite a
collection of dolls,
plates, etc.
I have watched
the movie more times
than I can
count. My Son and his
wife gave me
the movie, many years
ago. And
I frequently spend the day
watching it
every year. I have been most
fortunate that
my children have gifted
me with a lot
of my collection.
For those of
you that haven't seen the
movie.
It is an epic of the Civil War.
It is a very
good movie and a great classic
written by
Margaret Mitchell in
1936 and a hit
movie in 1939.
This was the
only book that Ms. Mitchell
wrote, she was
killed by a hit and run
driver in
Atlanta.

Lesley created this
beautiful

page and a couple of my other pages.
Thank you so
much for sharing your talent.
I really appreciate all the
help you have given me
not only on my
pages but making these graphics for
not only this
page but other pages.
Thank you.
A beautiful lady by the name
of Vivian
Leigh played the part of
Scarlett.
Scarlett agreed to marry
Charles Hamilton,
when she learned that the love
of her life
AshleyWilkes was to marry
Melanie
Hamilton.
War had been declared and the
men were
all called to arms.
Hamilton later died
Rhett Butler is played by the
most
handsome and debonair
gentleman
Clark Gable
The day that Rhett asked
Scarlett
to marry him. What a
kiss.
Rhett had been in
love with Scarlett almost
since
he had met her at the very
beginning
of the movie.
Scarlett and Melanie just
before Melanie
passed away. Very moving
scene,
a real tearjerker.
Melanie was the
nicest lady. Someone to
admire for her
honesty and kindness.
Movie Trivia
Scarlett is seen walking on
the main
street on the way to the
hospital. You
can clearly see a light bulb
in one
of the street lights.
If you time Melanie's
pregnancy by the
Civil War Battles, she would
have been
with child for a total of 21
months.
When Scarlett is dressing for
the barbeque
she's not wearing a coral
necklace. When
she's hurrying down to get
ready before
her father counts to 10, there
is no time
for Scarlett to get a piece of
jewelry.
But Scarlett is wearing the
necklace
when she's undressing for her
nap.
The shadow scenes in which
Scarlett
and Melanie care for the
wounded
in Atlanta hospital was filmed
with
two doubles. Since Leigh
and De Havilland
were standing at the wrong
angle to cast
the shadows, two stand ins
were positioned
in front of the high-intensity
light.
The shadows of the doubles
were
reflected on the wall behind
the stars,
and the result was a stunning
visual
effect. Yet upon a closer
look, the
gestures of the stand-ins are
not
totally
synchronized with the
movement
of the stars.
Scarlett's flight from Atlanta
is so sudden
that, as she leaves Aunt
Pittypat's house,
she is hatless. But a
black mourning
bonnet appears on her head as
she
and Rhett ride through the
depot area.
The ring of fire, and as she
and Rhett
follow the retreating
confederate
troops outside the city.
In the next
scene, when Rhett stops the
carriage on the turn to Tara,
the bonnet
vanishes.
After her night of passion
with Rhett,
Scarlett awakens and delights
in the memory. Her mammy
enters,
comes to the bedside and takes
away
a tray containing a silver
service.
An earlier part of this scene
showed Bonnie bringing the
breakfast
tray to her mother, but this
was deleted
during the editing. Did
part of Rhett's
romantic overtures include a
midnight
supper?
In the fire scene, you can
actually see the
set of King Kong burning ( the
huge
gates that King Kong came
through).
