Period romance.  War Epic. Family saga.  Popular fiction adapted with crowd-pleasing brilliance.  Star acting aglow with charisma and passion.  Moviemaking craft at its height.  These are sublimely joined in the words Gone with the Wind.

This dynamic and durable screen entertainment of the Civil War-era South comes home with the renewed splendor of a New 70th-Anniversary Digital Transfer capturing a higher resolution image from Restored Transfer Elements than ever before possible.  David O. Selnick’s monumental production of Margaret Mitchell’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book can now enthrall new generations of home viewers with a majestic vibrance that befits one of Hollywood’s greatest achievements.  Winner of 10 Academy Awards including 1939 Best Picture.

Scarlett O’Hara (Vivian Leigh) sets her sights on Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard) who sets his sights on another woman, Melanie (Olivia de Havilland).  While Scarlett works to make Ashley hers, Rhett Butler (Clark Gable) takes a fancy to Scarlett, who quickly shuns his advances.

Gone with the Wind is a Civil War-era tale of unrequited love that will warm the hearts of viewers.
