Board,By chance I saw it last night on DVD (four fucking hours or so). Allowing for issues of datedness and grandiose scenes and overwhelming music, I couldn't decide if it was basically and essentially
a) meant to be about the U.S. Civil War and aftermath (with love story as 'backdrop') or
b) meant to be a love story (with civil war as backdrop).
Also, I was completely unprepared for the famous "I don't give a damn" line from Clark Gable. I'm not surprised the line caused surprise at the time: in all the accusations and counter-accusations leveled by the lovers (and some were pretty 'damning' and cut-the-crap sounding), NONE came close to this swear word.
