Seventy-five years after America fell in love with the cinematic
classic Gone with the Wind, LIFE revisits the making of the
award-winning movie and gives readers a rare look into the film's
captivating, behind-the-scenes drama. This richly illustrated book
is a must-have collector's item for old fans and new. At age 75,
Gone with the Wind endures magnificently and is often considered
one of the best films of all time. The travails of getting the
movie made in the 1930s were chronicled in the pages of LIFE (1,400
actresses interviewed before Vivien Leigh chosen; Selznick waited
two years for Clark Gable to sign on to the project), as was the
frenzy of its premiere. All of this coverage is revisited in this
lavish coffee-table edition, which also includes behind-the-scenes
photography from the set, stunning pictures of the famed burning of
Atlanta scene, as well as all of the fascinating, intimate
photography from the making of the movie. Furthermore, LIFE
partnered with renowned southern authors to bring readers insight
into the influence of the book and film on American culture and
presents a side-by-side chronicle of what Gone with the Wind
claims, and what really happened during the Civil War. This book is
as informative and intriguing as it is beautifully illustrated.
