As a black person, there are things and attitudes I would definitely NOT want to bring back. But I also miss the civility and class of some previous generations. And, for the record, this is one of my favorite movies.
How can a person who owns another human being be considered civil or classy? I think you may mean that you favor the greater formality of etiquette which prevailed in the past.
ChristineTheHippie I agree. For similar reasons I've advocated adding context to Confederate statuary. You want to keep your bronze General Lee? Fine. But put an equally large statue depicting enslaved people and Jim Crow era lynching to show what Lee fought for and why his statue was erected.
This scene is magnificent, I'll never tire of watching it. That heavenly waltz, the gorgeous costumes, Clark Gable at his most swoon-worthy...it's all just magical!
I think Miss Scarlett enjoyed the Virginia reel more. Much more suited to her absolute Delight at being able to dance again AND being able to thumb her nose at Old School Atlanta. And all for a good cause.
Love that scene particularly because he knew for sure ,that she'll accept his offer.He knew her so well...and saw her! That's why he loved her so much.Bravo.😂
Oh how mad I was with her. She couldn't stop acting so spoiled. She couldn't see his love, only build dreams about a man she never knew. Only her image of him.
@@Aishiya1 I LOVE Cicil War Era clothing! And I learned the same dance Scarlett dances woth Rhett as a youngster. I would LOVE dancing that again...it really is fun!!
@@C.V.20 What an interesting thought. It would be nice to see a similar tale as Gone with the Wind but one that takes place on the other side of the Civil War battle lines.
A beautiful story: Sir Patrick Stewart, a young theater actor at the time, was invited by Ms. Leigh to watch a remastered version of “Gone With the Wind” in the theater. He saw her crying several times. She left early, whispering to him, “I cannot stay-so many of these dear friends are dead and gone, and I can’t bear it.”
Of course Sir Patrick would later go on to many different roles, one of which we've come to know and deeply love... Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Federation Starships U. S. S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D,and then 1701-E
I knew this before Patrick told the story to Conan O Brien. Vivien apparently sobbed, one of the things she said was "My Dear Hattie", referring to the Mammy actress. We'd also lose Leigh herself a few years later.
It'll happen to all of us, sooner or later. It's been said the worst part abput growing older is the people you begin to lose along the way and trust me, it's true. And part of The worst is crossing names off the Christmas card list. I don't blame Ms. Leigh for being upset, not in the least.
@@wayneantoniazzi2706 My sister died 30 September 2024, It will take a long time to stop grieving, she died after being ill only 14 days. A shock ! May she rest in peace my little darling.
I love this movie so much. Clark Gabel had the best lines in the whole movie 😂 I always loved Melanie. She was so good and kind. One of my favorite scenes is when she's talking to Belle in the carriage. I know the movie is about Scarlett but Melanie was such an important part of the story.
God, these dress are stunning! A little part of me sort of wants them to come back into style, and another part likes being able to wear my blue jeans....
Don’t get me wrong, I have blue jeans and t shirts for days. But I drool over those dresses and wish I could go back in time and dance at a ball while wearing one of those gowns.
One of the best stories & screen plays ever.The whole film was a masterpiece from beginning to end.All the major actors were perfect for the characters they played.Hattie McDaniel esp.
We had to learn this dance in junior high , in the South . A square dance .. Our Teacher was a Black lady , she was Excellent 🌹 and All of us Lived her so much.
Oh Bless you Mr Selznick! The greatest movie ever. Scarlett, a force of nature understands herself not one slightest bit.Whereas Rhett gets every thing n more about her. This one fact is a centrepiece of the film and provides much of its best dialogue. Masterpiece! MW.
I think Ashley really loved Melanie. They understood each other. Had the same thoughts about their world. Rhett and Scarlett were suited. Much more down to earth passionate characters. Scarlett has the revelation that she loved Rhett. Ashley was just an unattainable infatuation.
I agree, If Ashley and Scarlett had actually gotten together I don't think it would have lasted, Scarlett would have become bored very quickly and Ashley would soon realize they had actually nothing in common at all, their personalities were just too different.
@@equine2020Ashley was a strong man, but he was also a gentleman and so did not shove his beliefs down people’s throats. He and Melanie had a solid loving relationship. I think Rhett could see and understand the love Melanie and Rhett had because he could see their common values and interests. Scarlett did not understand the abiding love of a husband and wife that grows beyond romantic love.
@@brontewcat Ashley was a weak man. He relied on Scarlett to care for him, & Melanie. He a Southern gentlemen who never knew reality. Melanie was also a person who didn't know reality. They were dreamers. Scarlett & Rhett knew how reality was. They knew how to survive. If Ashley was a strong man, he wouldn't have relied on Scarlett.
I think the handling of the exchange between Rhett & Scarlett where she tells him, "you'll never hear those words from me as long as you live," was beautiful. Little did she know...
Margaret Mitchel hated this scene in the movie. She said no Southern Woman would ever show up at a dance in a "Widow's Bonnet" even if she was in mourning.
Imagine watching this movie back in 1939 for the first time. Audiences had never seen anything like it that I know of. They must have been overwhelmed.
Especially too, as the book was a sensational bestseller. I read it about once a year. It's so much richer than the movie, but having the movie images of the characters in your mind certainly makes the experience.
@@martha-anastasia Never read it myself, but having watched the movie, it seems to borrow many elements from War and Peace. Almost like an American version.

Rhett ALWAYS understood Scarlett. It wasn't that hard , since she was just the same as him, really. So one has to assume that she DID actually get him back after he walked out, because they were both very determined people.
@@teribradshaw-milling3164 maybe. I like the way it ended. If she pursued him or not . If they reunited or not. Both would never forget the other for the entire rest of their lives. After all, tomorrow is another day.
Because she was too stupid to realize she loved him all long and not Ashley... sigh, as much as I love Scarlet for being strong and courageous, as much as I hate the way she tortured Rhett till she drove him away...
+C. Natureluver Too little, too late. When he could have had just about any woman he wanted in Georgia and the entire Southern states, Rhett doggedly pursued only her, and after spending the entire movie calling Scarlett out on her bullshit while trying to get her to love him back, Rhett by that time had had enough and too much irreversible damage had been done so he got sick of Scarlett and kicked her to the curb....
in the novel Belle Watling and the women of her brothel were a oasis for Rhett during his marriage.His adultery to Scarlett was never mentioned in the movie. He financed the whorehouse.
That's where the movie was unfair to Scarlett, making Rhett (who is awesome and I love him) too much "the good guy" because Rhett never told Scarlett he wanted her to love him, never admitted vulnerability or weakness until it was too late. Rhett always insisted to Scarlett that he wanted only her body and that he didn't love her. In the end, he admits, when she reveals that she wanted to tell him earlier how she wanted him, that "It seems we have been at cross-purposes then." In any case, he felt it was too late. But yes, if only she had realised she loved him, and if only he had given her somehow the chance to admit that, though it's understandable that he'd fear she'd use that knowledge against him, as manipulative as she could be. It's also wrong where someone in this thread said that Rhett could have any of the Southern women he wanted. He was not considered eligible (made more obvious in the book) and no decent family received him, despite his "contribution to the cause", which was actually just profiteering. None of this was played up in the movie as much as in the book, how he was a rogue and a scoundrel. But sexy. He could, however, have had a Northern woman ... but not while pretending to help the South.
This was the most incredible movie. 🥰. I have 2 favorites: GWTW and The Sound of Music. But those times are gone for good I’m afraid. This is one of my favorite scenes. I once went to a costume Halloween party in one of those Southern Belle dresses; good luck getting through most doorways or even sitting down in them. 😊
I had a boss look at me when I forgave a co worker for something agregious. I told her "tomorrow is another day". None of the newbies get the lingo in this movie. My funniest GWTW moment was when I came home from a date complaining about my date. My precious Daddy looked at me and said "they all can't be Rhett Butler my dear". We laughed and laughed. GWTW was such an iconic piece of culture to us in the Deep South.
People need to understand that the past needs to be looked at from the point the people of that generation lived not from our understanding or expectations.
Loved vivien and clark chemistry! Although Scarlett was to blame for their failing relationship, still gutted to see Rhett left without giving their marriage another chance when Scarlett finally realised he was her true lover and loved him.
"Someday i want to hear the words you said to Ashley Wilks - "I love you.."That's something you'll never hear from me, captain Butler..." Oh, contrare he finally hears it, but it too late by then.
Rhett with that wicked, smilin' like a villain @1:24, classic.Gable couldn't dance in real life and didn't know how for this scene so they put him on a moving platform/conveyer belt-thing to give him the appearance of constant motion.
Rubbish. If you take the trouble to actually watch the scene you can clearly see him dancing - without the aid of any contraption. Don't believe everything you read.
Maximuscaligula If he could do it some shots he could do it in all. For close ups it is common practice to place actors on turntables or something similar. It is for the ease of shooting i.e. for the benefit of the cameraman - not because the actor can't dance. You could just as easily say that Vivien Leigh couldn't dance. In fact she was an excellent dancer.
+Mike Williams I think they said in the documentary that Gable really couldn't dance. But I think they also said that "turntable" made it even more difficult and that they were all on it, not just Leigh&Gable.
This was my mother's favorite movie in the whole world , she was born in 1935 when GWTW came out , but now my Mother is no longer living , she passed away on April , 23 2024 at 8:45pm Tuesday night she will be missed greatly😢😢 I'm playing this video / audio for her. She was 89 years old.
Some people consider this film portrayl of the Slaves as racist but it should be remembered that this is first film in which an African American won an Oscar (Hattie McDaniel won Best Supporting Actress for her role as Mammy)
The portrayal of enslaved people in this movie is rather one-dimensional and tends to support the inaccurate view of slavery as benign. Even Mammy is depicted as having no internal life of her own. She is presented as existing only for others. That said, Hattie McDaniel did give a splendid performance that made the most of the constraints of the role. McDaniel responded to those who questioned her willingness to portray stereotypes by saying she would rather portray a maid in a movie than work as a maid in real life.
Mammy was the true mother in this movie, and not Scarlett's mother. We all should be loved as Mammy loved Scarlett. Hattie McDaniel's performance was spectacular!
Aunt PittiPat having the vapors always cracks me up. Trivia says Vivien Leigh admittedly couldn’t dance to save her life, and had a dance double for parts of this scene
To understand this scandal one has to know that a southern widow was to stay in deep mourning for 3 years, black, no jewelry, veil to the ground. She could then enter “light mourning “ for several more years. Her life was essentially over. Exception was made for Scarlett’s presence at the fair “for the Cause”, or she would attend no social functions during deep mourning. She was only 16 and never loved Charles in the first place. And her character was unscrupulous anyway lol.
Lisa I have to be entirely fair with you I cannot help but admit that Rhett was entirely correct when he said that the system of Mourning used at the time was as barbarous as the Hindu Suttee! The part that I speak of is not in the movie, but in the book. And I think Rhett did the right thing getting Scarlett that nice hat from Paris. If only Captain Butler had gotten her some nice green silk for a nice dress to match the hat! Green is definitely Katie Scarlett O'Hara's best color. Perfect match for her eyes.
@@mikegallant811 Rhett was correct to get Scarlet out of mourning so fast agreed. She was only a teenager, full of life. But had the war not upset so many social norms of that era it never would have been allowed. Scarlett would have been shunned from polite society the same as Rhett was already not received by them. I loved how Rhett changed his attitude and actually cultivated the society of the Gentlewomen after Bonnie was born to try to secure her future. He still despised them but saw the necessity for Bonnie’s sake. Scarlet on the other hand was pig headed and burned her bridges after she crossed them. Had it not been for Melonie, Scarlet would have been turfed from polite society when she started running that lumber mill in Atlanta.
The film of “Gone With The Wind” was filmed in the 30s. It was before World War II started. I cannot believe this fact. And the quality of this movie is just amazing.
I have been laughing since yesterday about “darling merriweather” 😂 although I knew it was dolly I remember when I was younger and she ran after her dad in the horse I would always make fun of the sound she made. Years later I realized she was saying, “so, proud of yourself you are?” 😂
Mourning customs (for women) were utterly barbarous in the mid-nineteenth century, when "Gone With The Wind" is set. (Never before, never since). Not only were widows expected to go around for years draped in black crepe, with doleful looks on their faces, but those who remarried were looked upon by their social circles as cheating on their dead husbands (unless, like Scarlett and Jennie Jerome Churchill, they had the courage to tell society to take a flying leap). The American author Nathaniel Hawthorne was disgusted by these conventions, and attacked them in his own novel "The House of the Seven Gables": "It is as if a young giant were sentenced to spend the whole of his life, and expend all of his strength, carrying around the corpse of the old giant, which needs only to be given a decent burial."

How can a person who owns another human being be considered civil or classy? I think you may mean that you favor the greater formality of etiquette which prevailed in the past.
The way this movie portrays slavery and the Deep South is problematic BUT don't that reason, it should be shown and analyzed. And its still a classic.

It is for the ease of shooting i.e. for the benefit of the cameraman - not because the actor can't dance. You could just as easily say that Vivien Leigh couldn't dance. In fact she was an excellent dancer.
+Mike Williams I think they said in the documentary that Gable really couldn't dance. But I think they also said that "turntable" made it even more difficult and that they were all on it, not just Leigh&Gable.
The had a dubble dancer for scarlet I heard but go's to show you can't believe everything you read or hear
YEEEEOOOOWWWW!! --All the girls
This film is still an amazing cinematic achievement even by today's standards.
This was my mother's favorite movie in the whole world , she was born in 1935 when GWTW came out , but now my Mother is no longer living , she passed away on April , 23 2024 at 8:45pm Tuesday night she will be missed greatly😢😢 I'm playing this video / audio for her. She was 89 years old.
I've been rereading the novel online. Very impactful.
omg the dancing looks so fun!
I wish we could dance like this in today's society instead of bumping and grinding to crappy rnb. . .
agreed.
You can. You just need to go to the right kind of dance.
Some people consider this film portrayl of the Slaves as racist but it should be remembered that this is first film in which an African American won an Oscar (Hattie McDaniel won Best Supporting Actress for her role as Mammy)
The portrayal of enslaved people in this movie is rather one-dimensional and tends to support the inaccurate view of slavery as benign. Even Mammy is depicted as having no internal life of her own. She is presented as existing only for others. That said, Hattie McDaniel did give a splendid performance that made the most of the constraints of the role. McDaniel responded to those who questioned her willingness to portray stereotypes by saying she would rather portray a maid in a movie than work as a maid in real life.
@@MaggyShannon But the movie isn't about her.
Mammy was the true mother in this movie, and not Scarlett's mother. We all should be loved as Mammy loved Scarlett. Hattie McDaniel's performance was spectacular!
I love dancing the Virginia reel. I remember learning it in high school
This movie is a dream! Love it!
I just love the film "Gone with the Wind"(1939)!
Aunt PittiPat having the vapors always cracks me up. Trivia says Vivien Leigh admittedly couldn’t dance to save her life, and had a dance double for parts of this scene
I've read a lot about GWTW and I have never read this about a dance double anywhere.

Rhett's is visible a couple of times, if you slow down the video. They also used a rocking platform to simulate dancing.
"Choose yo' padners fo' de Ferginny reel!"
Oooooh, that Clark Gable is handsome!!!!!!
To understand this scandal one has to know that a southern widow was to stay in deep mourning for 3 years, black, no jewelry, veil to the ground. She could then enter “light mourning “ for several more years. Her life was essentially over. Exception was made for Scarlett’s presence at the fair “for the Cause”, or she would attend no social functions during deep mourning. She was only 16 and never loved Charles in the first place. And her character was unscrupulous anyway lol.
Lisa I have to be entirely fair with you I cannot help but admit that Rhett was entirely correct when he said that the system of Mourning used at the time was as barbarous as the Hindu Suttee!
The part that I speak of is not in the movie, but in the book. And I think Rhett did the right thing getting Scarlett that nice hat from Paris. If only Captain Butler had gotten her some nice green silk for a nice dress to match the hat! Green is definitely Katie Scarlett O'Hara's best color. Perfect match for her eyes.
@@mikegallant811 Rhett was correct to get Scarlet out of mourning so fast agreed. She was only a teenager, full of life. But had the war not upset so many social norms of that era it never would have been allowed. Scarlett would have been shunned from polite society the same as Rhett was already not received by them. I loved how Rhett changed his attitude and actually cultivated the society of the Gentlewomen after Bonnie was born to try to secure her future. He still despised them but saw the necessity for Bonnie’s sake. Scarlet on the other hand was pig headed and burned her bridges after she crossed them. Had it not been for Melonie, Scarlet would have been turfed from polite society when she started running that lumber mill in Atlanta.
One of my favourite scenes in the movie.
I love this movie from the first time l saw it that l name my first girl Scarlett❤😊
For Norma Schlesinger ..... She loved Clark Cable GONE WITH THE WIND..... RIP
The film of “Gone With The Wind” was filmed in the 30s. It was before World War II started.
I cannot believe this fact. And the quality of this movie is just amazing.
QUE PELICULAAA ❤ TAN MARAVILLOSAAA !!! 🥂👏👏👏😍
Those fabulous dresses!!!
I love the way she asks : "What do you want?''
O god im in love eith that line ''What do you want''
Super like !!! never gets old......
that scene when Aunt Pitty faints is one of my favorites xD it's so damn hilarious, the way she moans
Love the ladies names. Pitty Pat Hamilton, Darling Merrweather, and Caroline Meade. Lol.
rodneywashington51 actually its Dolly Merriwether.
I have been laughing since yesterday about “darling merriweather” 😂 although I knew it was dolly I remember when I was younger and she ran after her dad in the horse I would always make fun of the sound she made. Years later I realized she was saying, “so, proud of yourself you are?” 😂
Well, at least we can say that parents have always been giving their children inane names
The first words Leigh utters in the scene are in her native English accent.
The clothes! 😍😍😍😍😍
So pretty.
One of my favorite movies
The best scene EVER
yes!!! love it ♥
My all time favorite movie!
I love you Scarlett
That's something you'll never hear from me as long as you live!
That smile of confidence at 1:24
A civilisation gone with the wind ,how true !
Mourning customs (for women) were utterly barbarous in the mid-nineteenth century, when "Gone With The Wind" is set. (Never before, never since). Not only were widows expected to go around for years draped in black crepe, with doleful looks on their faces, but those who remarried were looked upon by their social circles as cheating on their dead husbands (unless, like Scarlett and Jennie Jerome Churchill, they had the courage to tell society to take a flying leap). The American author Nathaniel Hawthorne was disgusted by these conventions, and attacked them in his own novel "The House of the Seven Gables": "It is as if a young giant were sentenced to spend the whole of his life, and expend all of his strength, carrying around the corpse of the old giant, which needs only to be given a decent burial."
AS LONG AS YOU WAIT THE "YEAR OF RESPECT"

“With enough courage you can do without a reputation”
In close-up shots of them dancing, they're actually on a spinning platform.
Va. reel! I love these old movies!
They were so much in love with each other they couldn't see. The forest for the trees.

They needed a dance double for Vivian Leigh in this scene because she did not know how.
