4. Gone With The Wind
Film Directed By: Victor Fleming, George Cukor & Sam Wood
Original Work By: Margaret Mitchell One of the longest and greatest films of all time, adapted from one of the longest and finest novels ever written. Gone With The Wind is an American classic, a staple of pre-war movies. It starred Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh and is set in the much-discussed Civil War and Reconstruction era. I think that, because of its lengthy running time, many of the current generation have been reluctant to see it, but I highly advise it, if not only to watch the role played by Hattie McDaniel, one of her best.
