Thomas Mitchell (Gerald O'Hara): Do you
mean to tell me, Katie Scarlett O'Hara, that Tara, that land doesn't mean
anything to you? Why, land is the only thing in the world worth workin' for,
worth fightin' for, worth dyin' for, because it's the only thing that lasts.
Thomas Mitchell (Gerald O'Hara): It will come to you, this love
of the land.
Hattie McDaniel (Mammy): Oh no you ain't! If you
don't care what folks says about this family, I does. And I done told you and
told you, you can always tell a lady by the way she eats in front of people
like a bird. And I ain't aimin' to have you go over to Mista John Wilkes' house
and eat like a field hand and gobble like a hog.
Vivien Leigh
(Scarlett O'Hara): Ashley Wilkes says he likes to see a girl with a healthy
appetite.
Hattie McDaniel (Mammy): Well I ain't see Mista Ashley
asked for to marry you.
Hattie McDaniel (Mammy):It ain't
fittin'...it ain't fittin'. It jes' ain't fittin'.......It ain't fittin'.
Clark Gable (Rhett Butler): With enough courage, you can do
without a reputation.
Clark Gable (Rhett): Take a good look my
dear. It's an historic moment you can tell your grandchildren about how you
watched the Old South fall one night.
Vivien Leigh (Scarlett): I
can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that
tommorrow.
Vivien Leigh (Scarlett): As God is my witness, as God
is my witness they're not going to lick me! I'm going to live through this and
when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again! No, nor any of my folk. If I
have to lie, steal, cheat or kill! As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry
again!
Butterfly McQueen (Prissy): Lawzy, we got to have a
doctor! I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' babies!
Clark
Gable(Rhett): Now that you've got your lumber mill and Frank's money, you
won't come to me as you did to the jail, so I see I shall have to marry you.
Vivien Leigh (Scarlett): I never heard of such bad taste.
Clark Gable (Rhett): Did you ever think of marrying just for
fun?
Vivien Leigh (Scarlett): Marriage, fun? Fiddle-dee-dee! Fun for
men you mean.
Clark Gable(Rhett): No, I don't think I will kiss
you, although you need kissing, badly. That's what's wrong with you! You should
be kissed and often, and by someone who knows how.
Vivien Leigh
(Scarlett): Rhett, don't! I shall faint!
Clark Gable (Rhett): I want
you to faint. This is what you were meant for. None of the fools you've ever
know have kissed you like this, have they? Your Charles, or your Frank, or your
stupid Ashley!
Vivien Leigh (Scarlett): You'd rather live with
that silly little fool who can't open her mouth except to say "yes" or "no" and
raise a passel of mealy-mouthed brats just like her!
Leslie Howard
(Ashley Wilkes): You mustn't say unkind things about Melanie.
Vivien
Leigh (Scarlett): Who are you to tell me I mustn't? You led me on... you
made me believe you wanted to marry me!
Leslie Howard (Ashley): Now
Scarlett, be fair. I never at any time...
Vivien Leigh (Scarlett):
You did, it's true, you did!
Clark Gable (Rhett): You're like
the thief who isn't the least bit sorry he stole, but is terribly, terribly
sorry he's going to jail.
Vivien Leigh (Scarlett): Rhett... If
you go ... where shall I go? What shall I do?
Clark Gable (Rhett):
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
Vivien Leigh (Scarlett):
After all ... tomorrow is another day.

You might well ask ...
Who beat Clark Gable for Best Actor? Robert
Donat for Goodbye, Mr. Chips.
And what of Max Steiner's wonderful score?
Well, he had some stiff competition. The winner in 1939 was Herbert Stothart
for Wizard of Oz.
Did you know?
That Gone With the Wind was voted #4
in AFI's 100 Greatest American Movies of All Time?
That Humphrey Bogart was
voted #7 Man in AFI's 50 Greatest American Screen Legends?
That the
movie had two primary directors. First George Cukor who only lasted a few
weeks, then Victor Fleming who was directing Wizard of Oz at the same
time.
That 2,000 women were interviewed and/or tested for the role of
Scarlett. The first scene filmed was the burning of Atlanta. The studio had
some old sets that needed to go, so they figured, hey, we'll burn and film
them. The legend says that at this exact moment, with "Atlanta" burning in the
background, Vivien Leigh showed up with then boyfriend, soon to be husband,
Lawrence Olivier. Producer David O. Selznick hired her.
That Gable
wasn't immedialtely enthused. But they offered him a bunch of money which he
needed so he could divorce current wife, Rita Langham to marry sweetheart,
Carole Lombard.
That then unknown Vivien Leigh didn' get paid but
$30,000 for the role of Scarlett?
For Baby Boomers. Stuart Tarleton was
played by George Reeves, who we all know, became
TV's
Superman. And did you take a really close look at Gerald O'Hara's horse?
Well, Hi-yo Silver! Yup, that horse was the
Lone
Ranger's beloved Silver! |
