The Making Of A Legend: Gone With The Wind - 1988 - 8/10

Gone With The Wind, I have screened three distinct times. 1969, 1979, 1989.
The 30th anniversary, the 40th. and the 50th. Each time in a full-sized theater.
Even though I own a copy on Laserdisc (sealed) and DVD (sealed), I never felt right watching on TV.
The documentary on the making GWTW, however, I have viewed a dozen times.
Truly outstanding. Acquiring the rights, finding a Scarlett, director burnout, music issues, endless editing.
For movie buffs, this is spellbinding. For creative aspirants, this shows how difficult the process was for Selznick.
Absolutely irresistible.
