Besides the fact she was gorgeous, she had the most variety of facial expressions. You knew how she felt just by looking at her face. Amazing actress ever.
I just recently read that Vivien Leigh had a photographic memory and knew her lines after only reading through them once. She was such a great actress. I love all of the expressions she makes throughout the film. She was born to be Scarlett.
Мне так жаль, что она много курила ,ее лёгкие были черного цвета к ней быстро прилип туберкулёз и от этого она так мало прожила! А память у людей с нарушением психики у многих хорошая! Это компенсаторная реакция мозга!Ей бы мужика хорошего в жизни , что бы все решал за неё, и запрещал ей многое из того что она делала и любил бы по настоящему ,а не за красоту, не давал столько работать, и может быть ее жизнь была не такой печальной!
Vivian Leigh was really born for this character. I can't imagine anyone else could replace her position in this film. And every time I read Gone With The Wind, her face just automatically comes out in my mind.
Johnny Watson same here! Think of all the jaleousy and envy the choice of Vivien Leigh must’ve inspired to other actresses, that is all Hollywood actresses of the time, who tested for the role!
This movie encapsulated vivien at her absolute prime. Everything about her is absolute perfection and the epitome of glamour of those golden years in hollywood.
And Vivien is amazing. She is so breathtakingly beautiful and no one could ever capture how complex the character of Scarlett was/is. She is the reason Gone With The Wind is arguably considered the #1 movie of all time. And the proven #1 grossed profit film of all time
Having read the book more than a dozen times,i must say that no one on earth could be more Scarlett than the extraordinary and beautiful VIvian Leigh.Magnifica!
I never fully realised just how beautiful she was. Most beautiful ever I would say. And her ACTING - amazing, especially for that time. Altogether, there was something beyond genius at work in this unique movie.
Lar M: Quite the opposite. She wanted the part two years before the filming began and was absolutely convinced that she was going to get it despite not being well known in Hollywood at the time.
She acted the shit out of this role. When she says she’ll never go hungry again that shot right through the screen. Too be that talented and that beautiful wow what a combination
@Nenethegreat W I guess it is a matter of taste because I found Jayne Mansfield very unattractive and Vivien the most beautiful actress in history. You and I both agree that Marilyn was gorgeous, though.
@Nenethegreat W LOL. This is so rich coming from a faceless troll like you, who's spamming every comment complimenting Vivian's beauty/performance with your negativity.
Can you imagine if scarlet was based on a real woman wow what an amazing woman she would of been God bless the writer what a woman she was 🙏💪👏🏽🙌🙌👏🏽❤️😇💯
I think one thing that makes GWTW great is all the dazzling close ups of beautiful Vivian Leigh and all of the important characters. I hope it got an Oscar for cinematography and lighting. It’s certainly deserved one. The landscapes in the opening scenes may have used screen sets, I don’t know, but regardless they resembled landscape paintings. That movie was a feast for the eye.
She was so beautiful in this movie. No one could have played the part but her . And Clark Gable was so handsome. Hard to believe that Olivia deHavilland is still alive.
Vivien Leigh put everything into this roll, it's apparent. Scarlett had so many facets that Vivien captured - whether it be happy, angry, sad,scared, usually thinking about herself - wanting what she couldn't have. You just want to tell her that she would've gotten so bored with Ashley pretty quickly and that Rhett was perfect for her - exciting, mysterious, passionate. Rhett also had compassion and understanding about people that young Scarlett just didn't. But anyway, I love the complexity of the character that is Scarlett and can't imagine another actress playing her so perfectly.
Rhett was hanging out with Belle Watling and Scarlett wasn't certain there weren't any sexual relations. He also insisted on having his way many times, such as the bedroom incident, making her attend Melanie's party in scarlet dress, choosing Bonnie Blue's name, taking her to London and refusing to bury her. Scarlett can't stand not being in control.
To think they now want to censor this film is absurd. One of the greatest films ever made, and arguably a great piece of art. No one should be prived of it
An arrogant, pompous, pretentious, fickle, materialistic, manipulative, impatient, shameless, clever, persuasive, persevering, determined, intelligent, persistent, unbreakable, survivor. And we love her despite ourselves.
Thing is your boy Rhett wasn't smart enough to figure that out. He wanted Scarlett so bad he married her when he said he wasn't the "marrying kind." Even meanwhile hitting Belle Watling on the side. Rhett wanted Scarlett's stuff so bad he waited twelve years and had to marry her, even knowing she was in love with someone else. Lol Guess Ashley though it would be better to take that "wifey" material Melly home to meet momma even though she was his cousin. lol
@@terrihilder8217 rhett made the usual mistake of men to think you can turn sluts into ladies. Hint... you cant. Smart men pump then eventually dump the scarletts. There is always more scarletts in the market out there. Ashley avoided a trap by dumping scarlett early on and settling for a real lady.
Yes, as a Southerner myself, I can say she did very well with the accent. Most people attempting a Southern accent come across as a tossup between the Beverly Hillbillies and Li'l Abner (anybody remember him?) and is usually very insulting. Her accent was very subtle and graceful.
I´m watching this movie since 50 years at least once a year and will never get tired of it. Besides being the most beautiful creature ever Vivien leigh was by far the best movie actress. I wished she had pursued an acting Career in Hollywood.
I think OIivier was behind the fact that she did not pursue more of a film career.He was so into the theatre, and she followed. The camera was made for her. OIivier rather dispised films. Used them to make money! I think she was thebetter film actress. Though his Richard 111 is stupendous. And thank goodness it was filmed!
@MissX W LMAO the one who needs glasses is you, your obviously blind to not see that Vivien is MUCH more beautiful than Marilyn. Marilyn was average looking without makeup. There was many actresses in Marilyn’s time who were much more beautiful than her.
I agree with you that it's one of the best lines in the movie but even though i haven't seen it since i was a young girl i still remember very good one's what a movie
Vivien Leigh...so beautiful, so absolutely amazingly talented! She WAS Scarlett O'Hara, the very image and spirit of her. No actress was ever cast in so perfect a role; or perhaps, no role was ever more perfect for this actress. Olivia deHavilland once said of her she gave something to this film which she did not give to any other, and 75 years later, it is still undeniably true.
Vivien's beauty is intoxicating. This movie wouldn't be the legend it became if Scarlett's role went to any other actress. She was born to play this role
Vivien Leigh was the absolute best. Scarlett is a character that will never die. I get goosebumps every time I watch GWTW-the only movie that has ever done that.
the scene in the lumber mill when she goes to see Ashley in her new bonnet and the blue....takes my breath away each and every time.....just the most beautiful creature....LOVELY, Vivian.....
Paulo Valenca l read the book saw the movie five times. l think the book was better than the movie. And the movie is the greatest movie l've ever seen. And she is without a doubt the greatest actress to ever to embrace the big screen. She's in a class all by herself. A nice place to be.
@@johnjackson7441 I agree. The movie is sheer magnificence, but the book is even better. You can't put it down no matter how many times you read it, and you never want it to end. That is a BOOK! Now, of course, nutty liberals are after both film and book. Crazy!
hx huong Yes, she was British. She made about a dozen films and she won two Academy Awards. Hollywood very much wanted her to stay but she felt that England was her home. Also, she was primarily a stage actress, that’s why you didn’t see more of her.
@gulmerton2394: Because she was incredibly beautiful, had a fierce acting talent while fighting against a bi-polar psychological defect. SHE WAS GREAT! And then there are people who look like you, arf, arf!! Jealousy does not not look good on you!!
Vivían Leigh was born to be Scarlett. I don’t see any other actress being able to play the part better than her. Rhett and Scarlett, my favorite movie couple. I just hope Rhett will come back at the end. I can’t believe this movie is 80 years old. To my opinion the best movie ever made.
She was Scarlett . Vivian Leigh was married to Sir Lawrence Olivier who was so well trained in stage as well as film , I think she learned alot from him.
A lady who knew so much struggle and pain.... In backdrop of a war... Separation... Forgot to love... Obsessed with Ashley... Never recognized that her true love was next to her.. In all her personal battles... He was with her.. But her struggle made her stonehearted... She didn't even have the time to realize that.... By the time Melanie died.... Her wait over... But again... She didn't get what she wanted most.... Her Ashley... Which remained her crush... But the person who truly loved her.. Sees her insensitive nature... Buckles after their child dies and leaves her forever... She's left with only memories.. And worrying about tomorrow.. She doesn't live for today.... Losing everything...has Only loneliness for company
Favorite of all time. The wardrobe, the lighting, the soundtrack, the directing, the story, and of course Vivien and Clark. They were a perfect on screen match. LOVE!!!!!!
Many parallels of my grandmother's life during WWll in Europe. Married twice and lost both including one of her youngest (due to malnutrition). Through the tears given a gift just before her first husband left her to go back to the front and shortly thereafter died...My deepest thanks to all.
Cliché but as Yul Brenner was the King, Vivien Leigh was born for this part....her performance literally leaping off the screen......the consummate actress/artist/beauty
❤ Gone With the Wind and 💙 Vivien Leigh!! Most iconic performance and movie character (Scarlett O'Hara) ever and Vivien deserved all the accolades for this performance. Never will there be another actor or actress this phenomenal.
As good as she was as Scarlett in Gone With the Wind she was twice as good and much more realistic in Vivien Leigh's role as Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire.
Scarlett was badly misunderstood while Rhetts Aunts were starving it was Scarlett who fed them x the book says more about her sheer guts than peole realise I loved her
Margaret Mitchell's epic tale was truly brought to life by the beautiful Vivian Leigh - she was Scarlett! No actress has ever been better cast. When I was growing up in Atlanta, Margaret Mitchell's name was only spoken in the most reverent terms.
I few years back EW did a series of polls with brackets like the NBA. They started with 64 Best Actress winners and people voted, narrowing it down to 32. After that it got winnowed down to 16 and then so on and so forth until it came down to 2. There was no doubt in my mind who would win from the beginning. The last 2 were Meryl Streep ("Sophies Choice") and Vivien Leigh ("GWTW"). Her performance was a true tour de force, the greatest female performance ever committed to film. After 80 years nothing has or ever will top it.
Wrong performance. Vivien was great as Scarlett but superb (better than Meryl in "Sophie's Choice") in "A Streetcar Named Desire". I consider her performance as Blanche DuBois the best ever by an actress or an actor.
I just finished reading "Gone With The Wind", and although I had seen the movie many years ago it amused me that while reading I couldn't HELP but imagine so many of the actors/actresses from the movie in the roles that they were in. In reading the novel, I was amazed at how perfect the casting was for the movie! As I read I kept seeing in my mind's eye Clark Gable as the perfect Rhett, Vivien Leigh as Scarlett, Hattie McDaniel as Mammy, Butterfly McQueen as Prissy, and Leslie Howard as Ashley. They seemed to fit the book's descriptions like a glove! Thomas Mitchell as Scarlett's dad was pretty close, but Olivia DeHavilland seemed a little too hale and healthy to me for Melanie (as depicted in the book). But pound-for-pound the cast was really marvelously matched to roles. One of these days I will watch the movie again, looking forward to it.
I first read the book before seeing the film in 1977 during school holidays, couldn't put it down & completed it in 3 weeks. I still remember a couple of pop songs from the time playing repeatedly on the radio, so whenever I hear them now it transports me back to the time of the wonderful read. Then I discovered the movie was playing at the local theatre, so off we went, my mother, sister & I and of course just loved it. Wasn't keen on Leslie Howard as Ashley at the time but Mother explained he was the right type for this role, but it was great to see the well known actors bring this book to wonderful life.
Super clip. The best female performance ever put on film. But you left one scene right before she throws dirt into an enemys face and says "Thats all of Tara you'll ever get!"
That wasn't in the book, but it should have been! Perfect line. Nor did Rhett say "Has the war started?" when Scarlett threw the figurine in the library at Twelve Oaks. That, too, should have been in the book! A couple of things Hollywood threw in that were perfect for the scenes!
Nenethegreat W Glenn Close can’t even decide if she’s a woman or a man. The only role she plays well are psychotic head cases who should either be locked up or strung up. Which says something deeply disturbing about her as a person.
Great actress ------ two Oscar nominations (Gone With the Wind in 1939 and Streetcar Named Desire in 1951) and she won for BOTH of them. Vivien Leigh was breathtaking beautiful and certainly one of the greatest actresses ever to grace movies and the stage. One of the greats!
In 1939 two stars were born. Judy Garland in "The Wizzard of Oz" and Vivien Leigh in "Gone with the Wind". Judy 16 years old and Vivien 26 years. Both are legends forever. Vivien = Scarlett
The soft spoken, quiet, timid, agreeable, naive, faithful, and adoring personality of Melanie, played by the talented actress Olivia de Havilland who lived to be 104 and the last to survive "Gone With the Wind" who passed away in 2020. Rest In Peace.
Her parents abandoned her at the age of eight. She was brought up in a Convent boarding school, completely alone in the school holidays. The Mother superior brought her a kitten, so that she wasn't lonely. When she wa 17, her parents pitched up again and told her to live with them. She hardly knew them and got married at 18. The fact that she was able to be an actress of such high standard is amazing.
What an amazing movie !! What an amazing actress !!!!- I consider her acting as Scarlett the best in movie history. I have no words to explain what I feel looking at Miss Leigh.....
Clark Gable and Leslie Howard were both gorgeous in different ways..Leslie wasn't as masculine and dominant as Gable, but was still manly and had beautiful features. Sadly Olivia Dehaviland stated that when GWTW was filmed he only had a couple of years of life left. He was killed working for the British Intelligence.
The natural inclination is to sympathise with Melanie character. But we love Scarlet because she is so courageous. She is the epitomise of a strong woman.
Thank you so much for this video. I am so glad that they didnt shoot this movie in black and white. The combinations of the colours as well As the sound effects are absolutely amazing!!and the performation of Vivien Leigh is breath taking.no one could ever play Scarlett so wonderfully as she did!!and no one ever will!!this movie is the greatest movie of all time!!a huge respect for the filmmakers!!mgm..david o selznick...vivien leigh and for the other cast members!!
Even to this day, I don't think anyone can even come as CLOSE to Vivien when acting. Meryl is FANTASTIC, yes, but no one can be as hard as a horse bit and soft too all at once. This woman was the pinnacle of acting for women. She still inspires me when I try out for plays. I cock my right eyebrow up involuntarily and can snap back. Probably because I am from Georgia, but she is the queen. Her and Dixie Carter from Designing Women. They are both strong and portray Southern women from different points in time. But Vivien gave it her all plus more on her shoulders. A true hero of mine still to this day.
This was entertainment. After all these years, it still gives me goosebumps. The actors--- incredibly gifted. 1939 was the best year ever for film. BELOVED.
OMG LOL! That expression on Vivien's face (3:40-->) when she wipes sweat from under her chin! That is so VIVIEN, she totally forgot her role and the moment and was sooo natural! Pause the clip 3:41 and you'll LOL. :o)
Кино
Besides the fact she was gorgeous, she had the most variety of facial expressions. You knew how she felt just by looking at her face. Amazing actress ever.
I totally agree
Forget Marilyn Monroe or Sophia Loren, Vivien was the most beautiful girl ever existed
Mi lo@@seanohare5488
Feisty too just like a Scorpio!
I just recently read that Vivien Leigh had a photographic memory and knew her lines after only reading through them once. She was such a great actress. I love all of the expressions she makes throughout the film. She was born to be Scarlett.
Amen

That's why there is no remake for this movie, Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable just can not be replaced for the character
@@deviectristyantoko5121 you know what. Actually I think a remake would be awesome. Megan fox could be scarlet but now she's old mmmhhh 🤔
This movie encapsulated vivien at her absolute prime. Everything about her is absolute perfection and the epitome of glamour of those golden years in hollywood.
and that side profile of hers?? 😭
Now that I’m reading the novel it’s extremely clear to me that Vivien was born to play Scarlett her characterisation is perfection.
And Vivien is amazing. She is so breathtakingly beautiful and no one could ever capture how complex the character of Scarlett was/is. She is the reason Gone With The Wind is arguably considered the #1 movie of all time. And the proven #1 grossed profit film of all time
Vivien, scarlett, always!
FOR-SURE!

Absolutely!

Tina Walton And what a 22 yo could seem, without any makeup, a dying 45yo lady?

Most beautiful woman of all time IMO. So beautiful in GWTW.
I agree......Not any other women in tv/movie historie can hold the water to her!!!!💜
Vivien was NOT the only most beautiful. Ava Gardner, Elizabeth Taylor, Gene Tierney, Hedy Lamar AND Vivien were all the most beautiful.
You guys are too obsessed with celebrities..

I Love, Love this movie. Can watch it over & over & over again!
Hope after loss. Great maturity for a woman at that time, not just looking after self but also for the welfare of others. True leadership.
❤ Gone With the Wind and 💙 Vivien Leigh!! Most iconic performance and movie character (Scarlett O'Hara) ever and Vivien deserved all the accolades for this performance. Never will there be another actor or actress this phenomenal.
As good as she was as Scarlett in Gone With the Wind she was twice as good and much more realistic in Vivien Leigh's role as Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire.
@@michaelverbakel7632 That is another iconic role for Vivien Leigh, good point!!! I also love her role as Myra in Waterloo Bridge!!!
what a fabulous compilation of scenes! bravo to you. these are all my fave vivien leigh moments, too.
Vivien brought Scarlett alive. One and only. Rhett too. One and only.
Scarlett O’Hara portrayed by mrs Vivien Leigh was the best cast in cinematic History. ❤️
Scarlett was badly misunderstood while Rhetts Aunts were starving it was Scarlett who fed them x the book says more about her sheer guts than peole realise I loved her
Hear, hear! The Melly's of the world become leeches lol.
Say what you will about her character, but Scarlett as played by Vivian was soooooo hottttt.
Margaret Mitchell's epic tale was truly brought to life by the beautiful Vivian Leigh - she was Scarlett! No actress has ever been better cast.
When I was growing up in Atlanta, Margaret Mitchell's name was only spoken in the most reverent terms.
Vivien, with an 'e'.
I read somewhere that Scarlet O' Hara is the good looking version of Margareth Mitchell, who lived very toxic relationships with her boyfriends.
My most fav movie of all time and Vivian was spellbinding beautiful through the entire movie ❤️🇿🇦
Vivien, with an 'e'.
Two people deeply in love yet kept it a secret from each other, one deliberate, one ignorant, hard to watch the later part.
I adored it, but I'm a Vivien Leigh/Scarlett O'Hara buff since the 1950s.
Thanks
I few years back EW did a series of polls with brackets like the NBA. They started with 64 Best Actress winners and people voted, narrowing it down to 32. After that it got winnowed down to 16 and then so on and so forth until it came down to 2. There was no doubt in my mind who would win from the beginning. The last 2 were Meryl Streep ("Sophies Choice") and Vivien Leigh ("GWTW"). Her performance was a true tour de force, the greatest female performance ever committed to film. After 80 years nothing has or ever will top it.
Wrong performance. Vivien was great as Scarlett but superb (better than Meryl in "Sophie's Choice") in "A Streetcar Named Desire". I consider her performance as Blanche DuBois the best ever by an actress or an actor.
so beautiful and talented also
Moviemaking, as high Att; using every aspect of the business, to produce an irreplaceable masterpiece.... What a beautiful movie......💖
Great clips. Kudos! One of my favorite movies of all time and no one could have played that role except Vivian Leigh.
A powerful ageless actress..unsurmountable...she represented Scarlett so well
Vivien Leigh was BORN to be Scarlett! THIS is the greatest movie 🎥 ever MADE!
Fantastischer Film mit großartigen Schauspielern. Vivien ist einfach brillant und es gibt keine vergleichbare Schauspielerin in der neuen Version.
She was an amazing actress, it's very sad her later life was so blighted. You never can tell how life will be, it was hard for her.
She's splendid
She's unique
She's perfect
And so it's the film 👏👏👏👏👏👏

She was stunning and incredibly talented
I just finished reading "Gone With The Wind", and although I had seen the movie many years ago it amused me that while reading I couldn't HELP but imagine so many of the actors/actresses from the movie in the roles that they were in. In reading the novel, I was amazed at how perfect the casting was for the movie! As I read I kept seeing in my mind's eye Clark Gable as the perfect Rhett, Vivien Leigh as Scarlett, Hattie McDaniel as Mammy, Butterfly McQueen as Prissy, and Leslie Howard as Ashley. They seemed to fit the book's descriptions like a glove! Thomas Mitchell as Scarlett's dad was pretty close, but Olivia DeHavilland seemed a little too hale and healthy to me for Melanie (as depicted in the book). But pound-for-pound the cast was really marvelously matched to roles. One of these days I will watch the movie again, looking forward to it.
Melanie was my favorite character overall, and it was because of Olivia's portrayal.
I first read the book before seeing the film in 1977 during school holidays, couldn't put it down & completed it in 3 weeks. I still remember a couple of pop songs from the time playing repeatedly on the radio, so whenever I hear them now it transports me back to the time of the wonderful read. Then I discovered the movie was playing at the local theatre, so off we went, my mother, sister & I and of course just loved it. Wasn't keen on Leslie Howard as Ashley at the time but Mother explained he was the right type for this role, but it was great to see the well known actors bring this book to wonderful life.
So very very true. And I refuse to watch the sequel as Mrs Mitchell didn't write it.
Thanks! This is the perfect compilation of Scarlett scenes that make up what and who she really is. I love it! :-)
I also loved the change in her face at the barbeque when she sees Ashley and Melanie. And of course the red dress scene!!
Super clip. The best female performance ever put on film. But you left one scene right before she throws dirt into an enemys face and says "Thats all of Tara you'll ever get!"
Rick Francis yes that's one of her best moments!!
That wasn't in the book, but it should have been! Perfect line. Nor did Rhett say "Has the war started?" when Scarlett threw the figurine in the library at Twelve Oaks. That, too, should have been in the book! A couple of things Hollywood threw in that were perfect for the scenes!
@@paulo929refael2 In the book, the dress was green at Ashley's birthday party.
Nenethegreat W Glenn Close can’t even decide if she’s a woman or a man. The only role she plays well are psychotic head cases who should either be locked up or strung up. Which says something deeply disturbing about her as a person.
@Nenethegreat W I have rarely read anything more idiotic in my life.
Great actress ------ two Oscar nominations (Gone With the Wind in 1939 and Streetcar Named Desire in 1951) and she won for BOTH of them.
Vivien Leigh was breathtaking beautiful and certainly one of the greatest actresses ever to grace movies and the stage. One of the greats!
I grew up watching this movie and I never tire of it...She was brilliant in this film....days gone by, gone with the wind.
Absollutly perfect this compilation of scenes, thanks for a wonderful gift.
Love that movie and she was perfect!!
As littel child I was so in love her scarlett o.hara
In 1939 two stars were born. Judy Garland in "The Wizzard of Oz" and Vivien Leigh in "Gone with the Wind".
Judy 16 years old and Vivien 26 years. Both are legends forever.
Vivien = Scarlett
My daughter was born today we are naming her Scarlett.
macca999311 et
macca999311, I hope she lives up to that name😉
I always said if I had a daughter I would name her Bonnie Blue! 🦋🦋🦋
My great niece, born in June, is named Scarlett Lucille.
Que romántico. Felicidades
The soft spoken, quiet, timid, agreeable, naive, faithful, and adoring personality of Melanie, played by the talented actress Olivia de Havilland who lived to be 104 and the last to survive "Gone With the Wind" who passed away in 2020. Rest In Peace.
She is a truly exceptional actress , astonishingly beautiful yes, but that range!
My favorite for all time....
Beautiful film. Absolutely beautiful. It has an atmosphere that stays with you.
I agree. I"m worn out by the time the movie ends!
As putea în fiecare zi sa vizionez acest film e fenomenal .Actori de neuitat
Magnifique film que j'ai visionné plusieurs fois, je ne m'en lasse pas 👍
👍👍👍👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️
👱🏻♀️🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
Merveilleuse Scarlette.!
Inoubliable !!!
What a beautiful face Vivian Leigh and a great actor!
I like when Scarlett's true self comes out again and she says she hates Melanie AND her baby, lol.
Her parents abandoned her at the age of eight. She was brought up in a Convent boarding school, completely alone in the school holidays. The Mother superior brought her a kitten, so that she wasn't lonely. When she wa 17, her parents pitched up again and told her to live with them. She hardly knew them and got married at 18. The fact that she was able to be an actress of such high standard is amazing.
She made the role of Scarlett her own. She was perfect for it.
What an amazing movie !! What an amazing actress !!!!- I consider her acting as Scarlett the best in movie history. I have no words to explain what I feel looking at Miss Leigh.....
Clark Gable and Leslie Howard were both gorgeous in different ways..Leslie wasn't as masculine and dominant as Gable, but was still manly and had beautiful features. Sadly Olivia Dehaviland stated that when GWTW was filmed he only had a couple of years of life left. He was killed working for the British Intelligence.
The natural inclination is to sympathise with Melanie character. But we love Scarlet because she is so courageous. She is the epitomise of a strong woman.
Thank you so much for this video. I am so glad that they didnt shoot this movie in black and white. The combinations of the colours as well As the sound effects are absolutely amazing!!and the performation of Vivien Leigh is breath taking.no one could ever play Scarlett so wonderfully as she did!!and no one ever will!!this movie is the greatest movie of all time!!a huge respect for the filmmakers!!mgm..david o selznick...vivien leigh and for the other cast members!!
Even to this day, I don't think anyone can even come as CLOSE to Vivien when acting. Meryl is FANTASTIC, yes, but no one can be as hard as a horse bit and soft too all at once. This woman was the pinnacle of acting for women. She still inspires me when I try out for plays. I cock my right eyebrow up involuntarily and can snap back. Probably because I am from Georgia, but she is the queen. Her and Dixie Carter from Designing Women. They are both strong and portray Southern women from different points in time. But Vivien gave it her all plus more on her shoulders.
A true hero of mine still to this day.
Literally THE BEST MOVE OF ALL TIME!
This was entertainment. After all these years, it still gives me goosebumps. The actors--- incredibly gifted. 1939 was the best year ever for film. BELOVED.
There are lots of beautiful women in the world but to remake this movie no one can replace Vivien,She's real Scarlett
Straordinaria Vivian in originale... Pazzesca per quei tempi era già avanti con la recitazione 💯 il top
Hermosa Vivian Leigh en la mejor película de la historia!
OMG LOL! That expression on Vivien's face (3:40-->) when she wipes sweat from under her chin! That is so VIVIEN, she totally forgot her role and the moment and was sooo natural! Pause the clip 3:41 and you'll LOL. :o)
I don't see where she forgot her role. She's just wiping sweat....
BRAVO EDITING!!!
Every time I see her in that green costume, I think of Carol BURNETT.
See my comment above! So do I! LOL!
"Thank you, I ... saw it in the window and I couldn't resist it." 😂😂😂
@@mamabear0106 HAHAHA LOL!!! If Vivien had seen Carol she would have loved it for sure.
