Gone with the Wind - 4 Disc Special Edition


Commonly considered the greatest epic to emerge from Hollywood's Golden Era, Gone with the Wind's 222 minutes are stunning and engrossing. The lavish saga follows the life of Southern belle Scarlett O'Hara from riches to poverty and back to riches, through three husbands, the Civil War, the reconstruction of the South, and the death of a child. Based on Margaret Mitchell's page-turning classic novel and recognized as producer David O. Selznick's finest work, every detail of this masterpiece was finely tuned to create one of the most adored films in history.

Selected for the Library of Congress' National Film Registry of American Film.
