New Release: Gone With The Wind: 70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition (5 DVDs)

Wed, 4 Nov 2009 17:17:21 PST

The most-talked about picture ever made!

Period romance. War epic. Family saga.

Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) is a woman who can deal with a nation at war, Atlanta burning, the Union Army carrying off everything from her beloved Tara, the carpetbaggers who arrive after the war. Scarlett is beautiful. She has vitality. But Ashley, the man she has wanted for so long, is going to marry his placid cousin, Melanie.

Mammy warns Scarlett to behave herself at the party at Twelve Oaks. There is a new man there that day, the day the Civil War begins. Rhett Butler (Clark Gable). Scarlett does not know he is in the room when she pleads with Ashley to choose her instead of Melanie.

Popular fiction adapted with crowd-pleasing brilliance. Star acting aglow with charisma and passion. Moviemaking craft at its height. These are sublimely joined in the words Gone with the Wind. This dynamic and durable screen entertainment of the Civil War-era South comes home with the renewed splendor of a New 70th-Anniversary Digital Transfer capturing a higher-resolution image from Restored Picture Elements than ever before possible.
