Product Description

Product Description

Period romance. War epic. Family saga. 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. David O. Selznick’s monumental production of Margaret Mitchell’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book can now enthrall new generations of home viewers with a majestic vibrance that befits one of Hollywood’s greatest achievements.

Amazon.com

David O. Selznick wanted Gone with the Wind to be somehow more than a movie, a film that would broaden the very idea of what a film could be and do and look like. In many respects he got what he worked so hard to achieve in this 1939 epic (and all-time box-office champ in terms of tickets sold), and in some respects he fell far short of the goal. While the first half of this Civil War drama is taut and suspenseful and nostalgic, the second is ramshackle and arbitrary. But there's no question that the film is an enormous achievement in terms of its every resource--art direction, color, sound, cinematography--being pushed to new limits for the greater glory of telling an American story as fully as possible. Vivien Leigh is still magnificently narcissistic, Olivia de Havilland angelic and lovely, Leslie Howard reckless and aristocratic. As for Clark Gable: we're talking one of the most vital, masculine performances ever committed to film. --Tom Keogh

Also on the disc
The Ultimate Collector's Edition of Gone with the Wind is beautifully restored for Blu-ray, showing off how good a movie can look even many decades after its release. The second Blu-ray disc has a wide variety of bonus material. New for the Ultimate Collector's Edition are two 2009 documentaries: 1939: Hollywood's Greatest Year is narrated by Kenneth Branagh and summarizes the famous films that debuted that year, including Gone with the Wind, The Wizard of Oz, Stagecoach, and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington; "Gone with the Wind: The Legend Lives On" is a 33-minute study of the legacy of the movie, with interviews of film critics, Ted Turner, former Georgia Senator Max Cleeland, and surviving cast member Anne Rutherford (Careen O'Hara). Also new for the UCE is Moviola: The Scarlett O'Hara War, a 1980 television movie that dramatizes the casting of Gone with the Wind, starring Tony Curtis, William H. Macy, Sharon Gless, Morgan Brittany, and others. Much of the rest was on the 2004 four-disc edition, including the commentary track by Rudy Behlmer and documentaries on Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, other actors, and the filming and restoration of the movie. The third disc is a double-sided standard DVD of the documentary MGM: The Lion Roars, and the UCE comes in an oversize box with a beautiful photo book of stills and theatrical posters, reproductions of studio correspondence and a publicity booklet, a soundtrack CD sampler, and art cards. --David Horiuchi

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate collector's package for the ultimate movie
Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2012

From the first moment when you unwrap the plastic surrounding this box set, you know you are in for a treat. The (red) velvet feel of the box in your fingers is unlike any I have experienced with any DVD or Blu-ray set before now...and why not, this movie has been considered the greatest film ever made. Does it deserve any less than the best packaging there has ever been? With its "70th Anniversary Gone With the Wind" in gold letters on all four sides set against the red velvet...aw, sheer ecstacy.

But then, a moment of panic...what if the interior doesn't match up to such a buildup (much the same worry the audience probably had in 1939 prior to geting to see GWTW after such a massive buildup)? But there is absolutely nothing to fear. When you open it up, you are greeted with a picture of Scarlet O'Hara on the inner lid. If upon opening the lid, had I heard the Tara theme suddenly playing (you don't), I would not have been surprised. This truly looks and feels like a beautiful treasure box.

Inside, you find a 52-page hardcover photo and production art book. While not filled with the detailed behind-the-scenes writing of the similar Wizard of Oz book, the photos and artwork will please any GWTW fan.

Next is the reproduction of the original 40-page souvenir program (there were two versions issued, one with Hattie McDaniel pictured on the backcover with the other stars and one for the South without her. This is the one with her). Unlike the repro issued with the 2005 DVD set, this program is almost the same size as the original program (this one measures approx. 7.5 x 10 inches).

After this you get several pages of David O. Selznick memos and other correspondence. Nice touch.

What's that, you want more? Okay, how about 10 5x7 color cards showing production drawings in a nice folder called "The Art of Gone With the Wind"? How about a CD with approximately 35 minutes of music from the soundtrack?

There is a four page booklet that serves a directory of what are on the three discs in the set. Then some promotional flyers for TCM DVDs and other items. (I thought there was going to be a promotional offer for the GWTW poster but either it is missing from my set or they changed their mind about that as there is no mention anywhere on the outer listing of items about any such offer.)

Now, all that wasn't enough, we now get to the heart of the box, the very lovely (and STURDY) foldout containing the Blu-ray disc containing the movie, the Blu disc with the extras, and the double-sided DVD that has the fabulous 6-hour documentary, "MGM: When the Lion Roars."

The high definition print is beautiful. The work done on this really shows. The scenes may not jump out at you screaming how much it has been restored, but when you look at the sharpness, the clean clarity of the picture, you know that unless you have seen it in the theatre you have never seen it looking so good.

One weakness is in the audio. Though it has a Dolby True HD track, I found myself having to crank up the volume to be heard normally.

The movie comes with the commentary by Rudy Behlmer from the previous DVD release.

The movie is alone on the first disc. The goodies are all on the second one...

The bulk of them have been ported over from the DVD prior edition, but now we also get to enjoy the wonderful documentary, "1939: Hollywood's Greatest Year" and the made-for-TV drama of "Moviola: The Scarlett O'Hara War." I hadn't seen the latter since the Moviola mini-series first aired those decades ago, and I groaned inwardly as I watched the opening credits and saw who was cast in some of the most important roles (Tony Curtis as Selznick, Sharon Gless as Carole Lombard, to name two), but upon starting to view it, I found myself enjoying it for what it was. (And, happily, the video quality is far superior to that of The Dreamer of Oz, the John Ritter TV-movie in the Oz set.)

Be happy, this box set is all you could hope it would be.

Gone With The Wind is still the all-time biggest Hollywood hit if measured in constant dollars. It represents Hollywood at the peak of its glory with the studio system in full swing, as indicated in an included excellent documentary on all the great films that came out 1939. I have the 50th anniversary laser disc, but this 70th anniversary package surpasses it in every way in terms of content and transfer. Although there is a little grain occasionally, for the most part it is remarkably clear and vibrant for a 70 year old film. It still holds up well as one of the few timeless works that Hollywood has produced.

The package, which comes in a fancy box, includes a thin hardcover book with posters, cast and production features. There are copies of not terribly interesting memos from David O. Selznick. There is also a copy of the original 1939 premiere program, a set of watercolor set prints, a bonus CD soundtrack sampler, and a 6 hour documentary on a bonus CD- MGM: When the Lion Roars. It is labeled as a "limited edition" xxx of 150,000, so don't expect it to go rare any time soon.

The Extras DVD contains a goldmine of material. In addition to the 1939 documentary, there is Gone With the Wind: The Legend Lives On, a s dreadful and inauthentic segment from the TV movie Moviola-The Scarlett O'Hara War that doesn't belong here, and The Making of a Legend: Gone With the Wind. There are also reflections from Olivia de Havilland, documentaries Gable: The King Remembered and Vivien Leigh: Scarlett and Beyond. There is a documentary on the restoration process, films of premieres, trailers, foreign language samples, etc. or just about everything a fan could ever want.

THE BOOK; Considering the fact that both major characters lack much in the way of scruples, they don't have much happy time together, and they wind up going their separate ways it is miraculous that this story could wind up being one of the great romantic films of all time. Before this viewing I decided to read all 1000+ pages of the book to become familiar with the source material. What is truly surprising for a Hollywood production is how faithful it is to the book. The only major exception, apart from a few missing characters, is the fact that in the book Scarlett had a child by each of her first two husbands.

THE CAST: Audiences at the time anticipated Gable in the role of Rhett, and he is dead-on target. It is impossible to think of anyone else playing the role or the film being the success it was without him. He was so good he was taken for granted at the time and passed over for an Oscar in favor of the gooey Mr. Chips. Vivien Leigh is Scarlett to the core. Olivia de Havilland as Melanie and Leslie Howard as Ashley Wilkes are both equally perfect. One should also mention Hattie McDaniel, who won an Oscar for her great performance as Mammy. The cast truly makes this picture the exceptional film that it is, under Victor Fleming's smooth direction, and David O. Selznick's perfect casting and supervision of the entire film.

Today it is mind-boggling to know that most of this was filmed on a Hollywood backlot. When the camera pulls back on the scene of a vast number of Confederate wounded on an Atlanta street you know those are all real people, which today would be created digitally. All in all it is a milestone in every respect. If you care at all about movies you have to have this.
