Gone With the Wind

My wife loves the book and movie "Gone With the Wind." Several years ago I gave her the VHS version of the movie and today I gave it to her on DVD.

The past few days she's had a nasty cold so we didn't go out anywhere today. Instead we stayed home and watched the Gone with the Wind together.

Have you ever seen the movie? I'm inclined to think may be the one of the best movies ever made in regards to the quality of the writing, acting, directing, and production.

The story takes place in the Old South, when slavery was considered necessary to operate the plantations. In order to maintain their way of life the Southerners determined it was necessary to succeed from the Union.

The movie stars Vivian Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara and Clark Gable as Rhett Butler. Scarlett is often infuriated with Rhett, but always interested in what he's up to.

Watching the movie was an enjoyable way to spend the day.
