Story :

Gone with the Wind is regarded as the greatest drama film ever made. It is adapted from Margaret Mitchell’s novel of the same name. This 1939 epic film tells the story of the American Civil War from a white Southern point of view. The film revolves around the strange love story of the beautiful but manipulative, Scarlett and the handsome but roguish, Rhett Butler. Scarlett is in love with Ashley, who is about to get engaged to his placid cousin Melanie.
