Gone With the Wind
As I neared the end of this epic novel (both in scope and size), I found myself wishing that it would just go on and on. I was truly sad to finish it. Margaret Mitchell draws you into the story and myth of a unique era in American history and populates it with characters you’ll never forget. Even if you’re familiar with the movie, reading the book will not disappoint.
The movie is beautiful and legendary. Gone With the Wind won 8 competitive Academy Awards in 1939 for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Color Cinematography, Best Film Editing and Best Art Direction.
this will always be special to me because Dad & Mom chose my name from this movie. Your post makes me want to see the movie again…probably not read the book again, though.
I didn’t know that!
this me and my husband’s first date. (the movie) it was in theatres sept 25th , 1968.
