At least one REALLY GOOD REASON to watch "Gone With The Wind". Drooling over Clark Gable and Superman trivia are two others.

May Miss McDaniel rest in peace! A trailblazer; must have had a very brave heart.

Superman trivia? That's new to me.

The book is nice, I have read it a couple of times. But some point, when the movie was re-released to theaters I finally went to see it. What bad experience, it seemed very stilted and stereotypical. Sorry I went.

George Reeves, who starred as Superman (on tv), was one of the twins that were vying for Scarlet's attention in the opening barbecue scene.

And now it's the #1 movie selling on Amazon. In 1939, think of all the black actors that were employed to make the movie! I love the movie and never thought it glorified slavery. I read the book and watched it the first time when I was in junior high. I really liked the character Belle Watling and I never wanted to be a madam either. Go figure.
