and entertain it does. Have rarely seen it straight through, but it holds up well 80 years on.
Great writing, and while the pyrotechnics are carried by Leigh and Gable, also inspired performances by de Havilland, Hattie McDaniel (first black Oscar) and Butterfly McQueen. Accurately reflects racism of the day, both 1800's and 1930's Hollywood, so a 'period' piece in that sense.
Classic Hollywood Americana.
