Today we highlight a cult film "Gone With the Wind."


Director: Victor Fleming

Stars: Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh and Thomas Mitchel

Year 1939

The film is historically romantic in its treatment of many aspects of the era, including a decidedly racist view of slavery and the portrayal of the black characters. Never-the-less, it   gives a fascinating view of the American South of long ago.

 Just perfect    http://www.warnervideo.com/gonewiththewind/
