Product Description

Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of an American Classic.

Published in the spring of 1936, Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind was an immediate and overwhelming success; millions of copies were sold in its first year alone. By the time the film opened on December 15, 1939, the anticipation and excitement were so great that the city of Atlanta declared the day an official holiday. Since then, more than 300 million people have seen the film and every year hundreds of thousands of copies of the novel are sold in dozens of languages.

This lavishly illustrated book is the ultimate behind-the-scenes history of the novel, the film, and the phenomenon of Gone With the Wind. It includes wonderful anecdotes, original quotes from the stars and the directors souvenir programs from the original premiere, many rare never-before published photographs, and more, from the smell of the smoke and the heat of the flames during the filming of the "burning of Atlanta" sequence to the soft touch of the red dust at the location Tara; from the fangue on the faces of cast and crew after grueling months of shooting to the thrill of premiere night, you will experience the unfolding drama as if you were there.

About the Author
Herb Bridges is the world's leading authority on Gone With the Wind and has amassed the world's largest collection of GWTW memorabilia. Along with Terryl C. Boodman, he is co-editor of Gone With the Wind: The Screenplay. He has published three other books about the movie, The Filming of Gone With the Wind, Frankly, My Dear...,and Scarlet Fever. He lives in Atlanta, Georgia.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific!, May 29, 2001
By Robert Ortiz (The Southwest) - See all my reviews
This is an excellent book that chronicles the making of the legendary screen classic "Gone With the Wind". The book moves in chronological order from it's start as a novel all the way through the pre-production, production and post-production stages of what was to be one of the greatest films of all time, if not the greatest. The book is filled with numerous photos, some of them in color, many of them rare and all of them crisp and clear. There are close-ups of all of its stars (Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable, Olivia DeHavilland, Leslie Howard), the crew at work, movie posters and it's world premiere. This is a great book that will make an excellent addition to any library!

5.0 out of 5 stars 10 Stars for the best GWTW picture book ever!, October 31, 1998
By Alamainia@usa.net (Springfield, MO) - See all my reviews
This book contains a picture by picture account of the movie, it contains some of the best copies of the movie posters ever and it has a reasonable amount of background information, but the pictures really make this book something special...

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have Book for Gone With the Wind Fans, June 23, 2002
This book is packed with information and great photographs, both in color and black and white. The majority of the book deals with the filming an abundance of behind-the-scenes shots.

Also of particular interest is the post-production section dealing with the public's reaction to the movie and the section on the Premiere. This is a great book to add to your personal library.
