REVIEWS:

"As an example of filmmaking craft, 'Gone With The Wind' is still
astonishing. .... Some of the individual shots...still have the power
to leave us breathless, including the burning of Atlanta, the flight
to Tara and the 'street of dying men' shot, as Scarlett wanders into
the street and the camera pulls back until the whole Confederacy
seems to lie broken and bleeding as far as the eye can see. ....
'Gone With the Wind'...[is] a superb example of Hollywood's art."

-- Roger Ebert; June 21, 1998
