1
00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:12,507
Did the war start?

2
00:00:14,459 --> 00:00:18,002
Captain Butler, the Yankees are here!

3
00:00:20,751 --> 00:00:22,267
It's a movie of movies...

4
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:23,671
... people say ...

5
00:00:24,103 --> 00:00:27,121
...it was recorded as the best
moment in a Hollywood era.

6
00:00:27,926 --> 00:00:29,989
The perfect flower of that era and empire.

7
00:00:30,853 --> 00:00:33,048
But it's a movie that goes
beyond the ordinary_

8
00:00:33,931 --> 00:00:34,497
..."Huge thing".

9
00:00:34,936 --> 00:00:36,169
Known for his success.

10
00:00:36,905 --> 00:00:38,173
Full of melodrama, action...

11
00:00:38,508 --> 00:00:39,365
... feelings.

12
00:00:39,534 --> 00:00:41,423
Histories, painted in
magnificent Technicolor.

13
00:00:42,198 --> 00:00:44,088
But real history is often accidental.

14
00:00:45,299 --> 00:00:46,158
The real truth is...

15
00:00:46,852 --> 00:00:48,670
...that "Gone with the Wind"
came from chaos...

16
00:00:49,273 --> 00:00:50,137
and confusion,

17
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:51,527
blind faith.

18
00:00:52,054 --> 00:00:53,368
and good luck.

19
00:00:59,775 --> 00:01:17,992
Creating a legend:
"Gone with the Wind"

20
00:01:34,945 --> 00:01:36,483
Because of the elapsed time period
it became necessary

21
00:01:36,911 --> 00:01:38,485
the use of voice actors
for many of the main characters,

22
00:01:38,661 --> 00:01:40,172
in the production of this
documentary film.

23
00:01:40,339 --> 00:01:43,238
In all cases,
the words are taken from the record,

24
00:01:44,006 --> 00:01:47,040
letters and diaries of that period.

25
00:01:51,636 --> 00:01:55,205
Voice interpreted by David O. Selznick
is L. Jeffrey Selznick

26
00:02:32,139 --> 00:02:34,654
When David Selznick took over
to make "Gone with the Wind",

27
00:02:34,854 --> 00:02:36,374
in the summer of 1936,

28
00:02:36,877 --> 00:02:38,621
half of America read the book,

29
00:02:39,516 --> 00:02:41,395
and daydreamed under the spell of romance.

30
00:02:50,948 --> 00:02:53,001
It was a country that was still waiting
to end the "Great Depression",

31
00:02:53,453 --> 00:02:56,013
and it was best not to talk
attention to small wars,

32
00:02:56,213 --> 00:02:58,503
impending disasters,
cruelty and despair,

33
00:02:58,890 --> 00:02:59,990
tyrants and tragedy.

34
00:03:15,048 --> 00:03:18,771
Hollywood saw its duty as,
comfort and drawing attention to people,

35
00:03:19,156 --> 00:03:20,941
who were waiting for it to flow
time passes.

36
00:03:21,558 --> 00:03:23,814
It was a terrible obligation,
so Hollywood thought.

37
00:03:24,420 --> 00:03:25,995
As if they are in a state prison.

38
00:03:26,903 --> 00:03:28,364
MGM was one of the
the great who resisted,

39
00:03:28,516 --> 00:03:30,045
a team of films, with chains
chained stars.

40
00:03:30,817 --> 00:03:34,209
And David O. Selznick did
many great things for them.

41
00:03:37,433 --> 00:03:39,255
"A Tale of Two Cities"

42
00:03:44,932 --> 00:03:47,941
What if this is by far the best
thing I ever did.

43
00:03:49,231 --> 00:03:52,548
He will no longer study in this house.
He will never see Sergei again.

44
00:03:53,594 --> 00:03:54,689
I told you that before
than you left!

45
00:03:55,427 --> 00:03:57,564
He will accept that punishment and
will carry that burden.

46
00:03:58,157 --> 00:03:59,173
Like I'll have to wear mine.

47
00:04:00,296 --> 00:04:02,160
Does he hear!?

48
00:04:06,285 --> 00:04:08,930
Mr. McCorwick!
Mrs. Murdstone that's your dad!

49
00:04:21,948 --> 00:04:23,999
I have arrived!

50
00:04:25,399 --> 00:04:26,935
David O. Selznick

51
00:04:28,055 --> 00:04:29,623
He added the "O" to the name himself for the title.

52
00:04:30,071 --> 00:04:33,160
And to raise his value.

53
00:04:34,584 --> 00:04:36,167
He was 34 in 1936.

54
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,128
A cheerful, charming, arrogant madman.

55
00:04:41,150 --> 00:04:42,486
Great producer.

56
00:04:43,318 --> 00:04:45,076
He worked on films from
his 12th year.

57
00:04:45,757 --> 00:04:48,668
And he was before his 30s
chief producer at RKO.

58
00:04:49,212 --> 00:04:52,515
He was responsible for the films,
"King Kong", "What Price Hollywood?".

59
00:04:54,036 --> 00:04:56,285
He married Irena, daughter of Louis B Mayer.

60
00:04:56,846 --> 00:04:58,793
He said she was smarter than anyone
a man he knew.

61
00:05:00,073 --> 00:05:03,418
After the death of his father, Selznick
went to work for Mayer at MGM,

62
00:05:04,315 --> 00:05:08,105
There were complaints, yes
the son-in-law also ascends.

63
00:05:09,147 --> 00:05:11,118
But his dream was yes
be your own master.

64
00:05:12,332 --> 00:05:15,381
He found a partner, Jock Whitney,
one of the richest men in America.

65
00:05:15,679 --> 00:05:18,479
Whitney was from the East,
elite, high society.

66
00:05:19,174 --> 00:05:20,743
He was not Jewish nor in business,

67
00:05:21,021 --> 00:05:23,821
Ali brought David courage, camaraderie,

68
00:05:24,121 --> 00:05:27,143
and the investor union, which is
independence demanded.

69
00:05:35,164 --> 00:05:37,217
1935, a big event.

70
00:05:37,911 --> 00:05:40,584
He only left a few hundred
meters East of MGM,

71
00:05:41,005 --> 00:05:43,020
In the old location of RKO studio.

72
00:05:43,603 --> 00:05:45,096
But it was his studio now.

73
00:05:45,998 --> 00:05:47,581
He wanted quality material.

74
00:05:48,014 --> 00:05:49,360
The best stars and directors.

75
00:05:50,208 --> 00:05:55,127
- This time it must be very gentle,
honest, very sincere and very quiet.

76
00:05:55,660 --> 00:05:56,767
- Is everything ready, Duke?
- Ready.

77
00:05:56,967 --> 00:05:57,788
All right, let's go.

78
00:06:03,763 --> 00:06:05,704
He made it happen
stars are born here.

79
00:06:06,521 --> 00:06:08,683
"Ba�ta Allahova",
"Prisoner of Zenda Castle" and others.

80
00:06:09,618 --> 00:06:12,658
Not too many movies, but every one
like a Rolls Royce.

81
00:06:14,398 --> 00:06:17,193
I set out to make "Gone with
by the whirlwind" at will,

82
00:06:17,725 --> 00:06:19,985
I was told by
of the most successful people in business,

83
00:06:20,337 --> 00:06:23,663
Yes, no independent company
it cannot achieve what I want.

84
00:06:24,699 --> 00:06:25,518
And I replied,

85
00:06:25,693 --> 00:06:28,708
Independent company only
can achieve that,

86
00:06:29,396 --> 00:06:30,984
but it is impossible to do it in the studio.

87
00:06:32,263 --> 00:06:36,186
He wanted to control everything, from
staff writing reminders,

88
00:06:36,498 --> 00:06:39,743
protested about every detail,
questioning their ideas.

89
00:06:40,655 --> 00:06:44,039
Arrogance, energy and instinct
inherited from his father.

90
00:06:44,711 --> 00:06:46,902
Louis J. a pioneer in filmmaking,

91
00:06:47,302 --> 00:06:49,045
who put his son in the business.

92
00:06:50,983 --> 00:06:52,869
He taught his boys to be wasteful.

93
00:06:53,845 --> 00:06:55,725
And at the age of 20,

94
00:06:56,261 --> 00:07:00,087
Myron Selznick was getting paid
from 1000 dollars per week.

95
00:07:03,706 --> 00:07:06,991
He gave David $750 and told him,

96
00:07:07,654 --> 00:07:10,222
"Spend them! Always be penniless."

97
00:07:11,474 --> 00:07:13,441
When Louis went bankrupt,

98
00:07:13,609 --> 00:07:16,578
sons blamed the power of big studies.

99
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,629
Mynron wanted revenge,
and invented the role of a film agent,

100
00:07:20,991 --> 00:07:23,103
who began to suck money from the studios.

101
00:07:23,787 --> 00:07:25,880
David wanted to redeem the family name,

102
00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:28,316
And create your own, with good movies.

103
00:07:28,917 --> 00:07:29,745
And the biggest one is...

104
00:07:30,322 --> 00:07:33,977
a story about losing everything,
but by refusing to accept defeat.

105
00:07:35,146 --> 00:07:36,586
"God is my witness...

106
00:07:38,017 --> 00:07:40,753
God is my witness, he will not defeat me!

107
00:07:41,593 --> 00:07:43,915
I'll survive this, and when it's all over...

108
00:07:44,694 --> 00:07:46,014
I will never be hungry again!

109
00:07:46,860 --> 00:07:48,372
Neither I nor any of mine!

110
00:07:49,957 --> 00:07:52,678
Even if I had to lie,
steal, cheat or kill,

111
00:07:53,907 --> 00:07:57,825
May God be my witness!
I will never be hungry again!

112
00:08:03,921 --> 00:08:05,383
If the novel has something...

113
00:08:05,740 --> 00:08:07,044
it was a story of survival,

114
00:08:07,948 --> 00:08:10,647
it makes some people survive disasters

115
00:08:11,115 --> 00:08:14,364
and others equally capable,
strong and brave to succumb.

116
00:08:15,417 --> 00:08:18,513
I remember that the survivors called
it with quality abilities.

117
00:08:19,214 --> 00:08:22,732
So I wrote about people who are
had that ability and those who didn't.

118
00:08:24,114 --> 00:08:26,425
Margaret Michell author of the book
"Gone with the Wind",

119
00:08:26,758 --> 00:08:28,718
was a romantic like Selznick.

120
00:08:29,285 --> 00:08:30,598
But from another world.

121
00:08:31,201 --> 00:08:35,234
Born in Atlanta in the 1900s, and raised
on stories about the civil war,

122
00:08:35,798 --> 00:08:37,151
and southern courage.

123
00:08:38,043 --> 00:08:41,371
My mother took me out to
the hottest day I know

124
00:08:41,690 --> 00:08:44,203
and she drove me down the road to Jones's mill.

125
00:08:44,836 --> 00:08:49,245
She showed me the ruins where they used to be
those fine and rich people once lived.

126
00:08:50,381 --> 00:08:52,926
And she talked about the world of those people,

127
00:08:53,787 --> 00:08:55,419
such a safe world.

128
00:08:55,954 --> 00:08:57,649
And how it crumbled under them.

129
00:09:01,177 --> 00:09:05,105
And she told me that my world would too
to collapse one day.

130
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,648
And God help me if I don't
I had some weapons to welcome the new world,

131
00:09:10,940 --> 00:09:15,006
And that's why, for God's sake, go to school and learn
something that will stay in you.

132
00:09:15,470 --> 00:09:18,147
The strength of a woman's hands is worth nothing,

133
00:09:18,883 --> 00:09:22,968
but what they have in their heads
It will take them far.

134
00:09:28,791 --> 00:09:31,342
She grew up facing the history of the old South.

135
00:09:31,938 --> 00:09:33,995
Peggy Michell was a child of the 20s.

136
00:09:34,620 --> 00:09:35,429
The man...

137
00:09:36,313 --> 00:09:37,213
a couple...

138
00:09:38,212 --> 00:09:40,591
Gambling reporter for the Atlantic Journal...

139
00:09:41,350 --> 00:09:42,323
Ready to feed the Elephant...

140
00:09:43,043 --> 00:09:44,339
It supports the wall of the building..

141
00:09:45,035 --> 00:09:46,827
Or interviewing Rudolph Valentina.

142
00:09:47,557 --> 00:09:50,873
Fancy, fun and in the center of attention.

143
00:09:54,297 --> 00:09:55,947
Isn't it better this way?
rather than sitting at the table?

144
00:09:56,154 --> 00:09:58,019
There would only be two people at the table
could sit next to me.

145
00:10:00,006 --> 00:10:02,990
So is Scarlet, Peggy
attracted different people.

146
00:10:03,502 --> 00:10:05,668
She married a young wild man
an armorer named "Red".

147
00:10:06,100 --> 00:10:08,772
Because he drank a lot
she divorced him.

148
00:10:09,371 --> 00:10:11,700
She later married his
godmother of John Marsh.

149
00:10:22,826 --> 00:10:26,576
She was an excellent rider,
foiled by the fall of 1926.

150
00:10:28,145 --> 00:10:30,668
While she was recovering, she started writing a novel.

151
00:10:34,835 --> 00:10:37,080
She named her heroine Pansy O. Hara,

152
00:10:37,472 --> 00:10:40,813
And she continued to drink
book in the next 10 years.

153
00:10:42,183 --> 00:10:44,030
She did not expect to be stamped.

154
00:10:44,542 --> 00:10:48,499
When Mac Millan came to town
she reluctantly let him read the papers.

155
00:10:49,255 --> 00:10:50,997
He said he wanted to publish it.

156
00:10:51,812 --> 00:10:53,419
But he didn't like the heroine's name.

157
00:10:54,170 --> 00:10:56,985
So together they decided on Scarlett

158
00:10:58,341 --> 00:11:00,345
The book "Gone with the Wind"
she recommended me,

159
00:11:00,736 --> 00:11:02,513
Annie Lora Williams,

160
00:11:02,656 --> 00:11:07,214
who represented Millan
a film rights company.

161
00:11:08,525 --> 00:11:12,162
So I read the book and
thought she was absolutely gorgeous.

162
00:11:12,707 --> 00:11:16,108
And I worked for David Selznick,

163
00:11:16,555 --> 00:11:21,299
and I was responsible for him
I point to important material.

164
00:11:21,609 --> 00:11:23,009
So I drew his attention.

165
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,092
Hal Luton was Seliznick's editor,

166
00:11:27,457 --> 00:11:30,448
So we sent him a copy
book, as soon as we got it.

167
00:11:30,816 --> 00:11:33,241
And he rushed into Selznick's office,

168
00:11:33,641 --> 00:11:38,907
and said: - Mr. Selznick,
this book is plain rubbish!

169
00:11:39,245 --> 00:11:42,492
- You will make the biggest mistake in your life
if you try to make a movie based on it.

170
00:11:42,971 --> 00:11:44,411
- That's impossible!

171
00:11:46,192 --> 00:11:49,657
May 25, 1936
To K. Brown:

172
00:11:51,124 --> 00:11:54,095
I carefully thought about
"Gone with the Wind".

173
00:11:54,946 --> 00:11:57,982
That we have a contract with a woman who
would ideally suit the main character,

174
00:11:58,183 --> 00:12:01,395
I would probably be more inclined to
I buy the rights but, �I am now.

175
00:12:02,155 --> 00:12:07,019
I regret to say "No",
to your recommendation for this story.

176
00:12:08,626 --> 00:12:11,121
He told me very rudely,

177
00:12:13,122 --> 00:12:19,320
"Paying $50,000 for a book
for a book no one has heard of."

178
00:12:19,526 --> 00:12:24,261
"That's crazy, am I crazy?
I didn't say that he was crazy."

179
00:12:24,904 --> 00:12:28,001
But K. Brown appealed to Jock Whitney,

180
00:12:28,591 --> 00:12:33,232
And so Jock said, "Okay, I'll go
buy it for you, I'll give it to Pionir."

181
00:12:33,845 --> 00:12:36,765
So I said: "Okay, let's do it
let's do it, we'd better tell Selznick."

182
00:12:46,654 --> 00:12:53,674
July 6, 1936. If you can buy "Prohujalo
with a whirlwind" for $50,000, do it.

183
00:12:54,107 --> 00:12:57,332
I don't see why I should
to pay more than 50,000.

184
00:13:00,217 --> 00:13:04,107
K. Brown made the contract on July 6
the book was also published that week.

185
00:13:05,304 --> 00:13:09,265
Selznick finally read it
book on vacation in Hawaii.

186
00:13:10,830 --> 00:13:12,607
And he began to see problems.

187
00:13:13,446 --> 00:13:17,735
How to shrink a book from 1037
page to fit into a movie?

188
00:13:19,836 --> 00:13:21,484
One thing was immediately decided.

189
00:13:21,875 --> 00:13:25,426
Cukor, friend of Selznick
was chosen as the director.

190
00:13:25,799 --> 00:13:29,040
David Selznick and I looked a lot alike.

191
00:13:29,504 --> 00:13:32,651
And we weren't really proud of it.

192
00:13:33,009 --> 00:13:38,978
I once said to Mrs. Selznick:
"You know, David and I are constantly mixed up",

193
00:13:39,491 --> 00:13:43,256
And she said: "I don't think you're cheating."

194
00:13:43,576 --> 00:13:45,889
So I said:
"My mom doesn't like it either."

195
00:13:46,776 --> 00:13:53,001
Cukor has already shot 5 films for David: "Bill of
divorce", "Dinner at 8" and "David Copperfield"

196
00:13:53,368 --> 00:13:57,231
He was the first contractor for
"Selznick International".

197
00:13:57,700 --> 00:14:02,558
29 September 36 I was just talking
with Cukor and he shares my enthusiasm,

198
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,502
for Sidney Howard in "The Whirlwind".

199
00:14:05,616 --> 00:14:09,232
I would very much like him to come and write
scenario, whenever possible.

200
00:14:09,884 --> 00:14:13,643
I believe he and Ben probably are
two of the best screenwriters,

201
00:14:13,685 --> 00:14:15,660
which are not suitable for studies.

202
00:14:16,101 --> 00:14:21,782
They are the only ones who don't need everything
collect and prepare dialogues.

203
00:14:22,469 --> 00:14:29,837
Howard accepted the assignment, but with a condition
that he can drink 4500 km from the studio.

204
00:14:30,152 --> 00:14:31,633
On his farm in Massachusetts.

205
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,536
Sr. Howard was the best
playwright in that period.

206
00:14:37,159 --> 00:14:42,571
But it was a very difficult task.
It really took a lot of time.

207
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:49,353
And Mr. Selznick was not always patient
 �man, according to employees.

208
00:14:50,214 --> 00:14:56,075
He would call me and ask what S. Howard was doing, where I was from
if I know what Sidney is doing, I'm not sitting next to him.

209
00:14:56,588 --> 00:15:01,976
Howard finally delivered
the first 50 pages until Christmas 36.

210
00:15:02,464 --> 00:15:07,984
"Dear Sidney, I don't think you should
to change the construction of the text,

211
00:15:08,604 --> 00:15:08,985
I learned to avoid it
if he wants to achieve success."

212
00:15:12,158 --> 00:15:17,801
I don't think any of us destroyed it
what people love about this book."

213
00:15:18,350 --> 00:15:22,175
By then the book had become a bestseller,
and Margarett became famous.

214
00:15:22,925 --> 00:15:28,485
Selznik invited M. Mitchell
to cooperation, to ensure success.

215
00:15:28,970 --> 00:15:33,890
And she was kind:
"I wrote a book and that's all."

216
00:15:34,139 --> 00:15:39,185
"My contract ended when I signed
to sell you the film rights."

217
00:15:39,424 --> 00:15:42,153
"I sold you everything."

218
00:15:42,299 --> 00:15:46,121
"From that day on, it is your right to
do whatever you want with her."

219
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,912
<i>Here is the news you've been waiting for. The winner
at the competition for the role of Scarlett.</i>

220
00:15:53,073 --> 00:15:57,440
<i>Here are the names of the actresses who
received the most votes.</i>

221
00:15:57,671 --> 00:16:05,887
<i>Bettie Davis, Catherine Hapburn, Miriam Hopkins,
Margaret Sullivan, Joan Crawford and Margaret Stanwick

222
00:16:12,678 --> 00:16:14,996
Casting has become a national obsession.

223
00:16:15,323 --> 00:16:20,667
"Vogue" magazine made a photo montage
the ideal Scarlett from the photos of the leading contestants.

224
00:16:22,070 --> 00:16:27,069
Letters arrived in huge numbers, 121
the actress was recommended in those letters.

225
00:16:27,651 --> 00:16:30,251
Some of them were stupid suggestions and some were interesting.

226
00:16:30,408 --> 00:16:35,058
Sazy Pitts, May West, Clara Bowl, Lusile Bowl.

227
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,790
There is even a gentleman from Novi
Zealand recommended by Vivian Leigh.

228
00:16:40,486 --> 00:16:44,860
Selznick hired Rissel
Birdwell of the Los Angeles Examiner,

229
00:16:45,083 --> 00:16:45,861
and Russel, since he was a journalist for
he knew how to pump up the headlines.

230
00:16:53,121 --> 00:16:58,440
And it became a frenzy and a mania, who will be Scarlet O. Hara.

231
00:17:00,281 --> 00:17:05,219
He is responsible for the national
the search for Scarlett.

232
00:17:05,619 --> 00:17:06,320
And since every girl is quiet
year saw herself as Scarlett,

233
00:17:11,900 --> 00:17:15,562
It was a pretty crazy search.

234
00:17:19,199 --> 00:17:24,774
In 1936, K. Brown started
in search of talent.

235
00:17:32,859 --> 00:17:39,513
Turns out this is irrelevant. They were all young
mothers who should have stayed at home.

236
00:17:46,776 --> 00:17:50,782
They were all sitting in our room,
they came from Charleston.

237
00:17:55,866 --> 00:18:02,795
I thought we had a good time in New York but,
it was child's play compared to the madhouse here.

238
00:18:03,841 --> 00:18:10,295
On Friday, we opened the audition in Atlanta
and there were at least 500 people there.

239
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,191
We've seen every Miss Atlanta
up to 20 years ago.

240
00:18:14,397 --> 00:18:18,079
That's all dear, we have finished here.

241
00:18:22,113 --> 00:18:29,620
Meanwhile, many young actresses
in Hollywood it saw itself as Scarlett.

242
00:18:30,350 --> 00:18:33,004
And tests were done endlessly.

243
00:18:33,548 --> 00:18:37,338
Talula Backhead, Southerner and
occasional friend of Jock Whitney,

244
00:18:38,024 --> 00:18:38,339
was the first of 32 actresses
which have been tested for the role.

245
00:19:09,053 --> 00:19:11,504
David Selznick was a public relations genius.

246
00:19:13,328 --> 00:19:16,543
He knew that the search for
Scarlett be a huge party.

247
00:19:16,936 --> 00:19:24,165
A way to maintain the public's interest in the film even
for him, he still had no money, no screenplay, and no guts.

248
00:19:27,523 --> 00:19:30,448
So if he couldn't find it
Scarlett, what about Rhett?

249
00:19:32,825 --> 00:19:39,914
Selznick wanted to take R. Coleman, Gary Cooper,
Errol Flynn but in this the public was unanimous.

250
00:19:40,766 --> 00:19:43,567
There was only one person
who could play Rett Butler,

251
00:20:00,235 --> 00:20:06,235
However, it was Number 1, the most requested at the MGM studio.

252
00:20:06,955 --> 00:20:07,236
The star that brought
the highest income.

253
00:20:09,375 --> 00:20:14,479
And they were not in the habit of borrowing
its most profitable commodity.

254
00:20:15,217 --> 00:20:16,991
That was quite an inconvenience for Selznick

255
00:20:17,291 --> 00:20:21,068
who could get Gable
only by begging and a big number.

256
00:20:21,730 --> 00:20:26,616
But he still hoped for two things:
That a film can be made for 1,500,000,

257
00:20:27,828 --> 00:20:31,617
and that it will succeed without help
of his father-in-law, Louis B. Mayer.

258
00:20:35,511 --> 00:20:39,361
I regret to inform you that they are
The chances of us getting Gable are practically nil.

259
00:20:40,287 --> 00:20:42,873
In fact, almost impossible.

260
00:20:46,428 --> 00:20:51,219
Sr. Howard delivered the first draft
scenario at the end of February 1937.

261
00:20:51,859 --> 00:20:52,220
It was a script for a 5 and a half hour movie.

262
00:20:54,850 --> 00:20:56,069
It had to be shortened.

263
00:20:56,528 --> 00:21:00,395
And Howard reluctantly agrees
to come to Los Angeles, for an audit.

264
00:21:00,858 --> 00:21:03,220
It arrives at the beginning of April
to see that Selznick,

265
00:21:03,420 --> 00:21:06,924
completely occupied with problems
of the film "Prisoner of Zenda Castle".

266
00:21:08,211 --> 00:21:10,633
On April 14, Howard wrote to his wife:

267
00:21:11,207 --> 00:21:15,547
<i>They asked me a few days ago
to write a love scene at the ball,</i>

268
00:21:15,582 --> 00:21:16,626
<i>and I wrote it...</i>

269
00:21:16,661 --> 00:21:21,273
- I won't dance with anyone but you.
- And I obey only the king's command.

270
00:21:22,714 --> 00:21:24,353
Then your king commands...

271
00:21:26,001 --> 00:21:27,473
<i>Last night Selznick said,</i>

272
00:21:27,866 --> 00:21:30,424
- Can you do it again?
wrote that scene at the ball?

273
00:21:30,659 --> 00:21:33,311
- Of course! I said...
- How do you want me to write it?

274
00:21:33,975 --> 00:21:34,701
- I don't know.
He said.

275
00:21:34,936 --> 00:21:35,964
- I haven't read it yet.

276
00:21:39,246 --> 00:21:41,298
And two weeks later, in another letter:

277
00:21:41,898 --> 00:21:45,921
<i>This guy Selznick doesn't know
how to organize his time.</i>

278
00:21:46,585 --> 00:21:49,320
<i>His problems with "Zenda" are still unresolved.</i>

279
00:21:51,690 --> 00:21:53,986
<i>He didn't have time to
read my script,</i>

280
00:21:54,321 --> 00:21:56,087
<i>and he read the book very quickly.</i>

281
00:21:56,335 --> 00:21:58,647
<i>In five weeks, while I'm here,</i>

282
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,401
<i>Mostly spent my time without a connection.</i>

283
00:22:04,838 --> 00:22:06,826
Until July, Selznick,

284
00:22:07,161 --> 00:22:09,893
finally sat down to work on the script
with Howard and Cukor.

285
00:22:10,970 --> 00:22:13,052
By August 5, they had a new draft,

286
00:22:14,261 --> 00:22:16,701
15 pages longer than the original.

287
00:22:17,756 --> 00:22:20,895
Selznick knew that this
not an ordinary movie but,

288
00:22:20,930 --> 00:22:22,832
two huge composite films.

289
00:22:22,867 --> 00:22:24,816
This required long-term planning.

290
00:22:25,047 --> 00:22:27,964
In 1937 Seznik brought,

291
00:22:28,164 --> 00:22:29,729
very important decision,

292
00:22:30,135 --> 00:22:33,050
As for the movie
"Gone with the Wind".

293
00:22:33,224 --> 00:22:36,940
He employed W. Cameron Menzies
as a production designer.

294
00:22:38,036 --> 00:22:39,698
Will was an absolute genius.

295
00:22:41,017 --> 00:22:45,071
<i>We need a talented man like him
Menzies with vast experience in this film.</i>

296
00:22:45,271 --> 00:22:46,720
<i>and on his production.</i>

297
00:22:48,059 --> 00:22:50,968
<i>I hope to prepare a script
to the last corner of the camera,</i>

298
00:22:51,368 --> 00:22:52,088
<i>before we start recording.</i>

299
00:22:52,250 --> 00:22:55,730
<i>Because it will be a thorough preparation
save hundreds of thousands of dollars.</i>

300
00:22:56,733 --> 00:23:00,149
<i>What I want in this film was
done only a few times in history,</i>

301
00:23:00,384 --> 00:23:02,685
<i>is the complete scenario in cartoon version.</i>

302
00:23:04,317 --> 00:23:09,565
The whole look of the film is dictated
with excellent sketches by Menizies.

303
00:23:10,137 --> 00:23:15,876
Filming locations, people, they gave up
knowledge of how the finished film will look.

304
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,832
The big old rule
Hollywood applied:

305
00:23:19,602 --> 00:23:21,813
"It doesn't work with scenes."

306
00:23:21,770 --> 00:23:26,301
the wonders of artistic photography,
It will show South.

307
00:23:27,576 --> 00:23:30,624
Actually Selznick never saw the South,

308
00:23:30,892 --> 00:23:32,468
until the premiere of the film.

309
00:23:31,559 --> 00:23:34,266
But Cukor and his team went there
to meet Margaret Mitchell,

310
00:23:34,665 --> 00:23:39,961
To photograph, scout and bring
knowledge look and taste in California.

311
00:23:40,817 --> 00:23:44,863
They hired Wilbur Curtis, the Jordanian
historian and friend M. Mitchell.

312
00:23:45,984 --> 00:23:48,832
He worked with Menzies and the artist
director Lyle Wheeler,

313
00:23:49,495 --> 00:23:51,559
on the design of the look of the old South...

314
00:23:51,855 --> 00:23:56,552
which will fulfill the need of historical
accuracy and Hollywood magic.

315
00:23:58,083 --> 00:24:02,348
12 Hrastova is completely fictional, never
there was no such place in the district.

316
00:24:03,181 --> 00:24:06,574
The screenwriters demanded at least one look,

317
00:24:06,978 --> 00:24:11,118
on a traditional monthly basis
the illuminated atmosphere of the old South.

318
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:14,199
those beautiful interiors,

319
00:24:14,614 --> 00:24:19,175
and the atmosphere that, if it were ordinary
the peasant saw, had to rub his eyes.

320
00:24:20,442 --> 00:24:25,672
As for Tara, they listened carefully to me
explanations about architecture in northern Jordan,

321
00:24:26,231 --> 00:24:32,256
And how Tara was made up was indicated
are that the house must be a little "warmer".

322
00:24:33,143 --> 00:24:34,858
It was at the beginning of 1938.

323
00:24:35,135 --> 00:24:39,330
A whole year has passed since
Howard presented his first screenplay,

324
00:24:40,041 --> 00:24:42,961
Selznick was finally ready
to face the job of downsizing.

325
00:24:43,554 --> 00:24:47,894
It was painstaking work
not a single part has been recorded yet.

326
00:24:48,257 --> 00:24:53,459
I think I've tested everyone, on
I don't remember anyone who didn't test shoot.

327
00:24:54,777 --> 00:24:57,946
They were different, different,

328
00:24:58,385 --> 00:25:02,977
One corresponded to the other
stage and others to another.

329
00:25:03,424 --> 00:25:06,738
Okay, camera!

330
00:25:08,728 --> 00:25:11,754
You offended me when you said that
To Wilks, Ashley and others,

331
00:25:12,624 --> 00:25:14,930
He knew he wouldn't leave like that
early if you didn't drag him.

332
00:25:15,395 --> 00:25:16,632
Oh! I saw you...

333
00:25:16,902 --> 00:25:19,478
This is one of the scenes
which never made it into the film.

334
00:25:19,969 --> 00:25:22,741
He used sugar to test
actress for the role of Melanie.

335
00:25:24,917 --> 00:25:28,480
A hundred thunderbolts! You are me
worth the same as others.

336
00:25:29,521 --> 00:25:31,637
Oh, for God's sake I didn't mean to hurt you.

337
00:25:32,093 --> 00:25:34,245
Oh, for God's sake I didn't mean to hurt you.

338
00:25:34,648 --> 00:25:36,353
Well, you're my sister.

339
00:25:37,586 --> 00:25:38,986
<i>- It's okay, go on.</i>

340
00:25:39,151 --> 00:25:40,566
- You are my sister, dear...

341
00:25:40,766 --> 00:25:42,750
Mog Charles's widow...

342
00:25:43,870 --> 00:25:44,927
I'm sorry you're hurt, dear.

343
00:25:45,417 --> 00:25:48,339
I'm so sorry you're hurt dear.

344
00:25:49,284 --> 00:25:51,425
None of Melanie was disappointed
and in these tests...

345
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,012
But one Scarlet is
remained in Selznick's mind.

346
00:25:58,756 --> 00:25:59,851
Paulette Goddard.

347
00:26:02,733 --> 00:26:04,325
You criticize that� my friends?

348
00:26:08,910 --> 00:26:12,460
On the other side of town, there is another actress
performed another extended test.

349
00:26:13,382 --> 00:26:14,482
It was the whole movie.

350
00:26:14,674 --> 00:26:15,976
Julie.

351
00:26:17,811 --> 00:26:18,847
<i>Jezebel </i>

352
00:26:19,275 --> 00:26:23,450
In March 1938, Warner Bros
finished his romantic film.

353
00:26:23,710 --> 00:26:26,074
She is one of the favorites in the lead role
for the role of Scarlet, Bettie Davis.

354
00:26:26,838 --> 00:26:30,230
Maybe it wasn't "Whirlwind", but it was
was a regular breeze,

355
00:26:30,645 --> 00:26:32,684
And he curled Selznick's hair.

356
00:26:33,336 --> 00:26:37,225
Dear Jack, the film is woven
characterizations,

357
00:26:37,675 --> 00:26:38,934
behaviors and scenes.

358
00:26:39,733 --> 00:26:42,091
Which they unfortunately resemble
on "Gone with the Wind".

359
00:26:42,940 --> 00:26:44,410
People with fever
they may feel bad,

360
00:26:44,573 --> 00:26:47,007
feel rotten, but believe it.

361
00:26:47,849 --> 00:26:50,417
It's a part of you, like
that I am also a part of you.

362
00:26:51,374 --> 00:26:52,583
And they will never let you go.

363
00:26:53,921 --> 00:26:55,649
Jack Warner answered immediately.

364
00:26:56,209 --> 00:26:57,819
He thanked David for his:

365
00:26:58,338 --> 00:26:59,927
"Great interest"

366
00:27:01,749 --> 00:27:06,740
By June 4, 1938, Selznick is
spent $400,000,

367
00:27:06,741 --> 00:27:09,642
on rights, writers, testing and preparation,

368
00:27:09,805 --> 00:27:13,830
and he still didn't have Scarlett, Rhett
nor do they satisfy the scenario.

369
00:27:14,619 --> 00:27:17,714
Being your own boss is
was becoming very expensive.

370
00:27:18,363 --> 00:27:20,410
27 May Jock to Whitney:

371
00:27:20,627 --> 00:27:25,386
"L.B. called me today and told me that it was
MGM interested in buying "Vihor",

372
00:27:25,526 --> 00:27:29,375
"along with my services
as a producer."

373
00:27:29,785 --> 00:27:33,356
"It should be considered
is the salary enough..."

374
00:27:41,852 --> 00:27:44,220
"If we ever make this movie
my hair will turn white."

375
00:27:44,851 --> 00:27:47,518
If we sell it to MGM in Odesa...

376
00:27:47,619 --> 00:27:50,635
Like his father,
Selznick was a real gambler.

377
00:27:51,334 --> 00:27:54,497
There is a nice story about him while
gambled in the club "Curve".

378
00:27:54,834 --> 00:27:56,167
His friend came to the table
for which he played and said to him:

379
00:27:56,341 --> 00:27:57,998
- For God's sake, this David who is "imposed"...

380
00:27:58,718 --> 00:28:01,958
- I know. He said...
- But this is the only place in town.

381
00:28:07,544 --> 00:28:12,538
This time David could not make up his mind
should he take the risk and make the film himself,

382
00:28:13,124 --> 00:28:14,967
Or to sell it to MGM.

383
00:28:15,455 --> 00:28:19,059
He turned to Whitney for help.
He had a nickname for Jock:

384
00:28:19,360 --> 00:28:20,319
"Strong Heart"

385
00:28:20,595 --> 00:28:23,231
Whitney questioned
possibilities again and again.

386
00:28:23,643 --> 00:28:26,433
And now he had an answer:
"Do it."

387
00:28:26,699 --> 00:28:29,294
"Why did we fight if
can't we do it ourselves?"

388
00:28:30,981 --> 00:28:33,180
And the game of big deposits has begun.

389
00:28:33,744 --> 00:28:36,982
But Selznick needed it
more money if he went alone,

390
00:28:37,329 --> 00:28:40,558
He needed Rett,
and the public demanded Gable,

391
00:28:41,282 --> 00:28:43,830
So he started new ones
negotiations with MGM.

392
00:28:44,968 --> 00:28:47,929
Warner Bros. came to the table,
offered Errol Flynn.

393
00:28:48,347 --> 00:28:51,614
and Betty Davis and the money offer
was better than MGM's.

394
00:28:51,849 --> 00:28:52,641
But Betty Davis played masterfully
in "Jezebel" and received an Oscar for the role.

395
00:28:57,661 --> 00:29:01,509
And Flynn... well Flynn is
was a pale shadow of Gable.

396
00:29:08,353 --> 00:29:11,165
In August 1938, he played
has peaked,

397
00:29:12,001 --> 00:29:16,293
MGM will lend Gable and give
half of the $1,250,000 budget.

398
00:29:16,949 --> 00:29:21,065
In return, they seek profit from worldwide distribution and
half of the film's earnings in the first 7 years of release.

399
00:29:21,599 --> 00:29:25,571
It was a decisive moment,
for the first time, Selznick won the first game.

400
00:29:26,072 --> 00:29:27,973
But MGM got two.

401
00:29:28,140 --> 00:29:31,176
"It blew away" was the difference
between profit and loss.

402
00:29:31,699 --> 00:29:33,629
In many years to come.

403
00:29:34,700 --> 00:29:36,144
Gable thought he was a loser.

404
00:29:37,039 --> 00:29:38,339
He didn't want to act in a movie.

405
00:29:39,224 --> 00:29:42,264
He was afraid it would be
traded like a commodity in the market.

406
00:29:44,203 --> 00:29:45,687
Good night, soma.

407
00:29:46,506 --> 00:29:48,539
So Louis B. Mayer improved the offer.

408
00:29:49,563 --> 00:29:53,797
Gable wanted to divorce his wife
Rie to marry Carol Lombard,

409
00:29:54,389 --> 00:29:58,326
A great actress in comedies that might
landed the role of Scarlet at Park Avenue Studios.

410
00:30:00,404 --> 00:30:02,246
Mayer agreed to
$50,000 bonus,

411
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,616
which would be given to Gable
to a sullen woman.

412
00:30:06,510 --> 00:30:07,965
Later during filming,

413
00:30:08,436 --> 00:30:11,703
Seznik would guarantee him a free weekend,
to marry Lombardova.

414
00:30:13,238 --> 00:30:15,590
Gable's contract was signed on August 24.

415
00:30:16,125 --> 00:30:18,219
David Selznick was faced with
by alarmingly breaking the deadlines.

416
00:30:18,812 --> 00:30:22,308
Filming had to
started in January 1939.

417
00:30:24,755 --> 00:30:27,012
He decided to go on vacation,
a month in Bermuda.

418
00:30:27,814 --> 00:30:29,219
it was a chance to finish the script,

419
00:30:29,399 --> 00:30:32,120
which now consisted of
4 suitcases full of notes.

420
00:30:32,944 --> 00:30:36,197
It was painstaking work and it is again
asked Sidney Howard for help.

421
00:30:37,921 --> 00:30:39,953
Sidney said no
to go to Bermuda,

422
00:30:40,697 --> 00:30:42,497
Why not go to Europe
on board with him,

423
00:30:43,688 --> 00:30:46,337
He didn't want to leave his farm.

424
00:30:48,758 --> 00:30:52,588
So Selznick grabbed Jo Swerling who is
just wrote "Made for Each Other".

425
00:30:53,176 --> 00:30:56,098
To have someone to be with
he argues that he knocks a little.

426
00:30:56,809 --> 00:30:59,808
But he left Bermuda
already looking for a new writer.

427
00:31:01,303 --> 00:31:04,959
<i>Looking for a writer for "Vihor"
it begins with my arrival in New York,</i>

428
00:31:05,775 --> 00:31:10,272
<i>I'm not interested in Howard,
Garrett was a big miss,</i>

429
00:31:10,871 --> 00:31:12,752
<i>that's why I could buy him cheaply.</i>

430
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:17,695
Garrett was hired, and so was Selznick
began to significantly revise the script,

431
00:31:18,019 --> 00:31:19,546
as they traveled back to Hollywood.

432
00:31:20,251 --> 00:31:22,666
Their "Scarlet" has finally appeared.

433
00:31:26,983 --> 00:31:31,305
This is Jimmy Stedler from Hollywood where with
you can get a good tan and light burns.

434
00:31:31,961 --> 00:31:32,617
More than a year ago,

435
00:31:32,826 --> 00:31:35,062
I reported that Paulet Goddard
test shot for Scarlet,

436
00:31:35,686 --> 00:31:37,425
And that David O. Selznick signed the contract.

437
00:31:37,841 --> 00:31:40,146
Today is Selznick's
the executive director reported,

438
00:31:40,565 --> 00:31:42,379
Miss Goddard is
definitely chosen for the role,

439
00:31:42,748 --> 00:31:44,802
And the official confirmation will
be in about two weeks.

440
00:31:45,217 --> 00:31:47,433
Oh Ashley I can make you so happy.

441
00:31:48,427 --> 00:31:49,444
Anyway, Melanie can't!

442
00:31:49,816 --> 00:31:51,749
And Dr. Meade said that Melanie
she can't have more children!

443
00:31:52,049 --> 00:31:54,413
- And I can! - He must forget
What happened at 12 Hrastov.

444
00:31:54,513 --> 00:31:55,974
I can't forget!
Can you forget it?!

445
00:31:56,037 --> 00:31:58,275
Can he honestly say that?
that he doesn't love me�?!

446
00:31:58,621 --> 00:32:00,094
- No, I don't love you.
- That's a lie.

447
00:32:00,787 --> 00:32:03,770
Even if it was a lie, do you think I would?
could i leave melanie and the baby?

448
00:32:04,236 --> 00:32:07,441
I break her heart... You wouldn't either
could leave her father and sisters.

449
00:32:07,541 --> 00:32:08,706
Oh, I could go!

450
00:32:08,882 --> 00:32:10,962
I'm sick of them! Tired!

451
00:32:12,132 --> 00:32:14,274
I know you've had enough
that's why he talks like this.

452
00:32:14,975 --> 00:32:17,857
I want to help you...
I won't always be this clumsy.

453
00:32:18,057 --> 00:32:20,243
He can only help me
if he takes me�!

454
00:32:20,683 --> 00:32:22,546
Nothing keeps us here!

455
00:32:23,544 --> 00:32:25,080
Nothing...

456
00:32:25,543 --> 00:32:26,655
Except honor.

457
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:33,081
"I saw Goddard's new footage and
they showed that she has improved a lot."

458
00:32:33,876 --> 00:32:37,900
"So much so that I still think so
is the best for Scarlet."

459
00:32:39,036 --> 00:32:41,389
"I am completely dissatisfied
Geoffrey Lyndom."

460
00:32:41,899 --> 00:32:44,050
"I think we should forget
on him as Ashley."

461
00:32:45,768 --> 00:32:49,356
Three weeks ago I reported that it was
P. Goddard favorite for the role of Scarlet

462
00:32:49,541 --> 00:32:52,522
There is also Catherine Hapburn with
with which he competes from the beginning.

463
00:32:53,037 --> 00:32:54,185
Okay come on!

464
00:32:55,469 --> 00:32:57,444
“I think Hapburn's
he has two things against him."

465
00:32:58,458 --> 00:33:02,441
"First: Undoubtedly a bad pass
with the audience at this moment."

466
00:33:03,490 --> 00:33:07,360
"And second: He just needs to prove that
possesses sexual qualities."

467
00:33:08,232 --> 00:33:11,464
"Which are probably the most important
props from everyone Scarlet has."

468
00:33:11,900 --> 00:33:13,151
- Are you there, Mr. Vain?

469
00:33:13,552 --> 00:33:15,633
- Is that you Sylvester?
Come in!

470
00:33:18,445 --> 00:33:20,758
Oh! Well, you really are a woman!

471
00:33:21,259 --> 00:33:25,352
"All we have to do is set it up
the scene with Hapburn and Leslie Howard,

472
00:33:25,931 --> 00:33:28,699
And they would have a good movie
over the past 8 years."

473
00:33:32,603 --> 00:33:36,017
Bettie Davis, Carol Lombard, Margaret
Sullivan and the other candidates are now out.

474
00:33:36,721 --> 00:33:42,097
New news. Today they are M. Douglas
and Lana Turner shot test scenes.

475
00:33:42,489 --> 00:33:44,360
- Can he honestly say that he doesn't love me?
- No, I don't love you.

476
00:33:44,788 --> 00:33:45,577
That's a lie.

477
00:33:45,846 --> 00:33:48,865
Even if it was a lie, do you think I would
I could leave Melanie and the baby.

478
00:33:49,214 --> 00:33:52,808
I break her heart... You wouldn't either
could leave her father and sisters.

479
00:33:52,978 --> 00:33:53,748
Oh, I could go!

480
00:33:53,909 --> 00:33:55,129
I'm sick of them! I'm tired!

481
00:33:55,312 --> 00:33:57,699
I know you're tired
that's why he talks like this.

482
00:33:58,645 --> 00:34:00,778
I want to help you...
I won't always be this clumsy.

483
00:34:01,014 --> 00:34:02,880
He can only help me
if he takes me!

484
00:34:03,543 --> 00:34:04,894
Nothing keeps us here!

485
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:07,894
Nothing...
Except for honor.

486
00:34:09,191 --> 00:34:11,300
"I saw the test footage
L. Turner and M. Douglas."

487
00:34:12,116 --> 00:34:14,051
"I don't think Turner suits her."

488
00:34:15,001 --> 00:34:16,833
"She's too young to
the role suited her."

489
00:34:17,649 --> 00:34:18,946
"I'm afraid we have to
to forget her."

490
00:34:19,890 --> 00:34:23,162
"I think Douglas is the first to give
intelligent performance by Ashley."

491
00:34:23,862 --> 00:34:25,662
"But I think it is completely
erred in appearance."

492
00:34:26,255 --> 00:34:27,952
"He's too tough physically."

493
00:34:28,954 --> 00:34:31,804
"Beside him Leslie Howard
it looks much more impressive."

494
00:34:35,737 --> 00:34:38,761
Love me, say it, say it
love me...

495
00:34:40,165 --> 00:34:44,939
"I watched the test several times
with Goddard and with Lynn."

496
00:34:45,614 --> 00:34:48,632
"I have to admit that the more I look at it,
I'm more and more impressed."

497
00:34:49,675 --> 00:34:51,800
"You have to work with her
as much as possible."

498
00:34:52,294 --> 00:34:53,311
Selznick 5...

499
00:34:56,984 --> 00:35:00,336
Oh Ashley, I wonder where he is hiding�?

500
00:35:03,913 --> 00:35:06,158
"Do it one more time,
Even quieter and in a better mood."

501
00:35:18,877 --> 00:35:21,928
- Once again, Paulette, your face is very rude.
- Right? - Relax.

502
00:35:35,529 --> 00:35:38,156
"Alright,. Will you
show the background of it?"

503
00:35:39,302 --> 00:35:41,769
- Turn around
- Well, see you later.

504
00:35:44,990 --> 00:35:46,656
P. Goddard with another make-up.

505
00:35:49,224 --> 00:35:52,246
- I've never fainted.
- It wouldn't be bad if you did.

506
00:35:52,945 --> 00:35:54,089
If he wants to catch himself a husband.

507
00:35:54,465 --> 00:35:57,729
- I will catch the man.
You put on a dress.

508
00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:59,550
- what will my dear wear?

509
00:36:00,271 --> 00:36:05,962
- That.  - Well, he won't!
It will not be shown in the afternoon!

510
00:36:07,078 --> 00:36:09,682
- I'm sure not anymore.

511
00:36:11,106 --> 00:36:14,386
Paulete Goddard was an actress
which Charlie Chaplin fell in love with.

512
00:36:15,447 --> 00:36:16,899
And who had the main role
with him in "Modern Times".

513
00:36:17,871 --> 00:36:22,186
She was a personal favorite, a friend
Selznick, Cukor and Jock Whitney.

514
00:36:22,654 --> 00:36:24,173
There was a girl who
she laughed a lot.

515
00:36:24,729 --> 00:36:27,773
She lived across the street from the house
Selznick and Charlie Chaplin,

516
00:36:29,108 --> 00:36:32,766
and Hollywood hoped it would
she and Chaplin get married.

517
00:36:33,675 --> 00:36:38,604
But they didn't. Could Paulete be
Scarlet on film and in real life?

518
00:36:40,009 --> 00:36:44,530
You've seen the movie. You are at an advantage.
Imagine Selznick's state of mind.

519
00:36:45,266 --> 00:36:48,875
After two years of confusion and
searches throughout the country,

520
00:36:49,366 --> 00:36:52,318
who does he take for scarlet?
My neighbor.

521
00:36:54,216 --> 00:36:56,763
Does Paulette really do?
can he perform the role?

522
00:36:57,418 --> 00:37:00,565
He drinks notes, feverishly
convincing himself that he could,

523
00:37:01,413 --> 00:37:07,422
But he needs something more than just a note,
and no amount of money can bring him.

524
00:37:08,468 --> 00:37:09,508
A miracle.

525
00:37:10,140 --> 00:37:11,281
Who is that girl?

526
00:37:11,656 --> 00:37:13,503
A product of the English School of Drama.

527
00:37:14,214 --> 00:37:16,965
Born in India to continue
family business.

528
00:37:17,957 --> 00:37:19,653
Growing up with fun picnics,

529
00:37:20,269 --> 00:37:21,801
and playgrounds in the open spaces.

530
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:24,127
Her name is Vivien Leigh.

531
00:37:24,711 --> 00:37:26,255
Shy in front of the camera.

532
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,848
But sometimes shyness is a mask for
a distinct need to pretend.

533
00:37:31,985 --> 00:37:36,216
And by the age of 21,
she is not a very successful actress.

534
00:37:53,009 --> 00:37:57,926
In 1935 she played in the big hit,
present "The Mask of Virtue".

535
00:37:58,892 --> 00:38:01,273
And when is next year
read "Gone with the Wind",

536
00:38:01,738 --> 00:38:04,349
she was convinced that the role
Scarlet made for her.

537
00:38:05,500 --> 00:38:09,253
She felt like Scarlet in
the urge to have everything her way,

538
00:38:10,326 --> 00:38:14,215
He begins to work on the role,
they don't even know how convenient it is.

539
00:38:15,132 --> 00:38:19,722
Chares Morrison, Selznick's scout
was recommended in February 1937.

540
00:38:20,474 --> 00:38:23,478
Miss V. Leigh
comes from far England,

541
00:38:24,148 --> 00:38:27,003
she is the most promising
the girl i saw

542
00:39:02,159 --> 00:39:04,408
Selznick was looking at
"Fire Over England",

543
00:39:04,993 --> 00:39:06,325
and did not see "fire",

544
00:39:06,910 --> 00:39:08,182
under Elizabethan costume.

545
00:39:09,158 --> 00:39:11,146
She falls in love with Laurence Olivier,

546
00:39:11,723 --> 00:39:13,225
who starred in "Fire over England".

547
00:39:14,278 --> 00:39:17,517
And she leaves her husband and bride
daughter to move in with him.

548
00:39:20,196 --> 00:39:23,823
In 1938, Olivier went to Hollywood
to work for Sam Goldwin.

549
00:39:24,909 --> 00:39:30,613
Vivien has her own agent in London, but secretly
signs a contract with America as well.

550
00:39:32,077 --> 00:39:34,284
With Myron Selznick himself.

551
00:39:36,580 --> 00:39:41,429
She took the best picture, as she thought
poses for Scarlet to arrive.

552
00:39:42,285 --> 00:39:43,436
And he sends those pictures to America.

553
00:39:44,639 --> 00:39:47,048
But... nothing has happened yet.

554
00:39:47,319 --> 00:39:51,916
No answer? But it has to be.
Please call again.

555
00:39:57,436 --> 00:40:01,772
At the end of 1938, she boarded the
ship S. Mary and crosses the Atlantic.

556
00:40:02,700 --> 00:40:04,429
On the ship, he reads the book again.

557
00:40:05,333 --> 00:40:07,156
And he remembers some of Scarlet's dialogue.

558
00:40:08,052 --> 00:40:12,804
It is in New York until December 1.
And then he takes a plane to California.

559
00:40:14,732 --> 00:40:20,763
HOLLYWOOD...promised land...
...Metropolis where dreams come true...

560
00:40:29,355 --> 00:40:37,492
Vivien came to America probably because
character Scarlet because she loved the book.

561
00:40:38,908 --> 00:40:43,212
But she actually came for Olivier
who starred in "Wuthering Heights."

562
00:40:44,355 --> 00:40:45,828
She couldn't bear to be apart.

563
00:40:46,627 --> 00:40:49,610
They were extremely attached
and later they got married.

564
00:40:51,282 --> 00:40:59,316
She came to be with L. Olivier and of course
she was looking for a job with Myron Selznick.

565
00:40:59,906 --> 00:41:02,611
It was logical, especially
wanted to meet David.

566
00:41:03,507 --> 00:41:08,555
She introduced herself to Myron. He looked,
and said, "Hmm."

567
00:41:09,459 --> 00:41:11,890
"Maybe... that would be a big move."

568
00:41:12,482 --> 00:41:14,643
"And a very nice surprise for David."

569
00:41:15,666 --> 00:41:17,996
Vivien asked:
"Shall we go to the fire?"

570
00:41:19,499 --> 00:41:24,290
40 hectares crowded
sets from old movies.

571
00:41:24,883 --> 00:41:27,250
King Kong, King of Kings,
Ba�ta of Allah...

572
00:41:27,930 --> 00:41:31,555
The area had to be cleared, yes
make room for "Gone with the Wind".

573
00:41:32,091 --> 00:41:35,162
So Menzies and Menad�er
Produced by Ray Clune,

574
00:41:35,681 --> 00:41:38,411
He came up with the idea of burning the old ones
sets to make room for new ones.

575
00:41:39,082 --> 00:41:42,755
And to record the fire as
burning Atlanta in the movie.

576
00:41:43,674 --> 00:41:45,281
Special effects designer Lee Zavitz,

577
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:49,337
he devised a new way to lay pipes
which expel fuel and water through the entire set.

578
00:41:50,025 --> 00:41:52,643
So that the flame can be wet
increase or decrease at will.

579
00:41:52,939 --> 00:41:56,843
Smoke machines were tested and cameras
carefully set in endless rehearsals.

580
00:41:57,594 --> 00:41:59,904
This was the scene that
i can't record again.

581
00:42:01,039 --> 00:42:07,240
We finally shot the Atlanta scene
in flames on December 10, 1938.

582
00:42:08,689 --> 00:42:14,143
Then there were only 7
Technicolor camera and we used everything,

583
00:42:15,024 --> 00:42:18,711
Silence please! Silence is being recorded!

584
00:42:20,216 --> 00:42:22,233
Start the cameras!
Ok light the fire!

585
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,191
It looked like it was
the whole neighborhood in flames.

586
00:42:28,792 --> 00:42:32,743
I don't know how many firefighters
association was there but,

587
00:42:33,279 --> 00:42:38,512
there were from L. Angeles, Santa
Monica and everyone brought the equipment there.

588
00:42:39,823 --> 00:42:42,967
The phone company was
congested for about an hour,

589
00:42:43,369 --> 00:42:47,103
because of the residents of Los Angeles who
have seen this glorious flame,

590
00:42:47,615 --> 00:42:51,297
everyone called to ask where the fire was.

591
00:42:51,397 --> 00:42:56,962
Many thought MGM was on fire, it is
pleased Selznick when he heard it.

592
00:42:58,206 --> 00:43:02,066
I brought my camera
so I could record.

593
00:43:05,451 --> 00:43:09,795
Those people who did their thing while
the blazing flames were the stunt doubles.

594
00:43:10,925 --> 00:43:13,211
Reta acted professionally
acrobats on horses,

595
00:43:15,162 --> 00:43:17,499
The girl who cheated on you
if you thought it was Scarlet,

596
00:43:18,260 --> 00:43:21,331
Which managed to drive on exceptional
the heat of a covered face.

597
00:43:22,743 --> 00:43:28,220
A harsh critic would mark it
as the unwanted future of Scarlet O. Haru.

598
00:43:37,580 --> 00:43:39,902
David Selznick loved to
throws parties

599
00:43:39,821 --> 00:43:42,470
and this was his 4th of July.

600
00:43:43,446 --> 00:43:46,533
Director Cukor attended that night.

601
00:43:47,718 --> 00:43:51,253
It was Menzies who designed it
and directed that whole huge set.

602
00:43:54,174 --> 00:43:57,757
This huge pillar of fire was once
was the big gate in the movie King Kong.

603
00:44:01,934 --> 00:44:05,150
Now it is pulled by cables
connected to the tractor.

604
00:44:08,980 --> 00:44:13,196
Later it's like a special effect
added carriage passing by.

605
00:44:20,868 --> 00:44:23,534
Myron Selznick visited
filming that night,

606
00:44:24,142 --> 00:44:29,638
and during fires
he went to his brother and said:

607
00:44:30,279 --> 00:44:33,280
Hey genius...
Meet your Scarlet O. Haru.

608
00:44:34,295 --> 00:44:36,992
And then he introduced David to Vivien Leigh.

609
00:44:39,103 --> 00:44:40,758
And I guess everything sizzled.

610
00:44:41,536 --> 00:44:44,152
There was an incredibly beautiful girl, he said:
"What about her?"

611
00:44:44,656 --> 00:44:50,551
My office was there,
and I gave her a few scenes to try.

612
00:44:50,663 --> 00:44:53,155
I don't think she ever heard
someone to speak with a southern accent.

613
00:44:53,681 --> 00:44:57,563
And she read them very intelligently,

614
00:44:58,092 --> 00:45:01,451
And very good with very sharp
English accent

615
00:45:02,827 --> 00:45:06,131
The morning after the burning of Atlanta
while the ruins were still smoking,

616
00:45:06,587 --> 00:45:09,403
David S. wrote a woman
while she was in New York:

617
00:45:10,778 --> 00:45:16,459
"I was thrilled with the fire scene, that's what
the most exciting scene since I've been in the business."

618
00:45:17,436 --> 00:45:23,803
The first is that the scene worked,
and secondly that the film has finally started.

619
00:45:25,019 --> 00:45:27,538
Myron came with
L. Olivier and Vivien Leigh,

620
00:45:28,419 --> 00:45:31,435
She is Scarlet and
looks damn good.

621
00:45:32,811 --> 00:45:34,762
We're making the last one
tests this week.

622
00:45:36,571 --> 00:45:38,954
Now the choice has fallen on Joan Bennet...

623
00:45:44,138 --> 00:45:45,107
Gene Arthur...

624
00:45:45,411 --> 00:45:45,971
Paulette...

625
00:45:46,745 --> 00:45:47,844
... and Vivien Leigh.

626
00:47:17,946 --> 00:47:22,434
She was the perfect embodiment
that character we were looking for.

627
00:47:23,827 --> 00:47:27,459
Anyone who saw the apparition
these girls

628
00:47:28,193 --> 00:47:30,715
he saw a fiery temper in her.

629
00:47:31,194 --> 00:47:37,018
It was the liveliness and sparkle that
we did not see any at that time.

630
00:48:05,810 --> 00:48:07,721
Vivien was told she got the part,

631
00:48:08,061 --> 00:48:09,354
on Christmas Day.

632
00:48:14,051 --> 00:48:18,668
January 1939, recording the sea
start before the end of the month.

633
00:48:19,691 --> 00:48:23,052
And "Gone with the Wind" is
began to exist physically.

634
00:48:24,429 --> 00:48:27,595
Decisions for other roles are
now become imperative.

635
00:48:28,340 --> 00:48:35,948
Selznick finally came to terms with the idea that he was
English Idol, Leslie Howard Best Ashley.

636
00:48:37,387 --> 00:48:41,501
"I want to see Leslie's makeup
he wants us to rejuvenate him."

637
00:48:44,678 --> 00:48:49,414
He was 46 years old then and various
methods of make-up and hair coloring,

638
00:48:50,030 --> 00:48:51,997
were needed to make him look younger.

639
00:48:53,942 --> 00:48:58,773
"Howard looks older than in the first shots,
lighten his hair even more and remove the wrinkles around his eyes."

640
00:48:59,885 --> 00:49:02,534
"Ashley may look older in the
the second half of the film,

641
00:49:03,358 --> 00:49:06,085
but in the first scenes of the sea
look young and romantic."

642
00:49:07,412 --> 00:49:10,583
"Leslie's hair is good but he
add larger vents."

643
00:49:11,343 --> 00:49:12,712
"Strengthen his lower lashes."

644
00:49:13,826 --> 00:49:17,772
L. Howard reluctantly accepted the role
in "Gone with the Wind", as well as Gable.

645
00:49:20,011 --> 00:49:24,677
He said, "If you put me in one
from those Southern costumes,

646
00:49:25,148 --> 00:49:30,850
they look like some idiot.
Don't do this to me, I don't want that movie.

647
00:49:31,620 --> 00:49:33,860
The only way for Selznick to get it,

648
00:49:34,395 --> 00:49:40,243
is to promise him something that he was
Life's dream, which is to become a producer.

649
00:49:41,012 --> 00:49:43,523
They were preparing "Intermeco"
with Ingrid Bergman.

650
00:49:44,436 --> 00:49:48,202
He came to him and said:
"I have a wonderful Swedish actress.

651
00:49:49,107 --> 00:49:51,373
And if he really wants to become a producer,

652
00:49:52,285 --> 00:49:55,826
he can be a producer, if he plays a role in "Vihor".

653
00:49:56,898 --> 00:49:58,258
He never read a book,

654
00:49:59,082 --> 00:50:03,378
he never read the text
other actors in the film,

655
00:50:03,986 --> 00:50:06,834
he knew exactly what to say and that's all.

656
00:50:21,171 --> 00:50:24,891
Olivia de Havilland has been around for a while
Selznick's first choice for the role of Melanie.

657
00:50:26,107 --> 00:50:29,268
But she was under contract to Warner Bros, a
they did not like to borrow their stars,

658
00:50:30,251 --> 00:50:34,282
She was released for that role only because of that
What she personally begged Warner's wife.

659
00:50:36,154 --> 00:50:43,314
The three main actors have signed a contract,
and was published in the press on January 13, 1939.

660
00:50:45,563 --> 00:50:51,290
News from Hollywood! Mr. Selznick is two years old
was deciding who to take for Scarlet,

661
00:50:51,906 --> 00:50:55,587
despite millions of American women, he could not
to find not one that fits.

662
00:50:56,210 --> 00:50:59,426
that reflected on everyone
a girl from here.

663
00:51:00,516 --> 00:51:05,469
I'm sure millions of girls will
stay away from the movie in protest.

664
00:51:06,957 --> 00:51:09,876
Millions did not respond
on call where Hopper.

665
00:51:11,021 --> 00:51:14,781
And the southerners said:
"Better an English girl than a Yankee girl".

666
00:51:16,044 --> 00:51:20,764
Walter Plunkett created over
110 costumes for only 4 main roles.

667
00:51:21,340 --> 00:51:22,995
Much more for the others.

668
00:51:24,084 --> 00:51:27,405
Now they will be trained and tested
in front of the Technicolor camera.

669
00:51:28,503 --> 00:51:30,910
Laura Hope Crews was "Aunt Pitty"

670
00:51:32,312 --> 00:51:34,809
There were a bunch of beautiful "Belle Watlings".

671
00:51:35,913 --> 00:51:37,852
Until Ona Munson was elected.

672
00:51:42,622 --> 00:51:46,278
Ann Rutherford and Evelyn Keyes
were Scarlett's younger sisters.

673
00:51:48,060 --> 00:51:52,045
I was so confused.
Ever since the birth of this nation...

674
00:51:54,073 --> 00:51:58,796
...I can't remember anything else
so shook America,

675
00:51:59,389 --> 00:52:01,908
and the world, as it is
that's what this book did.

676
00:52:02,122 --> 00:52:07,748
Wherever you went,
people read this book.

677
00:52:08,587 --> 00:52:12,955
Echoes of the birth of a nation with its own
the infamous scenes of the Ku Klux Klan,

678
00:52:13,182 --> 00:52:15,461
had a hard time convincing the colored audience.

679
00:52:16,039 --> 00:52:19,846
And actors of color have accepted
their roles in a climate of disagreement.

680
00:52:20,210 --> 00:52:24,450
It was a very difficult period
with a �tamp for blacks.

681
00:52:25,304 --> 00:52:29,650
They threatened to boycott the film because of this
what they were afraid of "little Tom's cabin",

682
00:52:30,500 --> 00:52:32,129
and pictures of Rob.

683
00:52:33,033 --> 00:52:36,753
Under pressure, the word "Nigger"
was deleted from the script,

684
00:52:37,185 --> 00:52:39,802
and Selznick deleted everything
connection with the Klan.

685
00:52:40,743 --> 00:52:43,487
According to his view and
standards of the time,

686
00:52:44,032 --> 00:52:47,360
He tried to
welcome such a view.

687
00:52:48,175 --> 00:52:53,252
"Dear Jock, I have gone to extremes
in preparation of this film,

688
00:52:53,622 --> 00:52:58,227
to avoid any mischief
representation of blacks as a race or as individuals."

689
00:52:59,043 --> 00:53:04,967
"And you eliminated the essential parts of the story, which are
slurs for black people in M. Mitchell's book.

690
00:53:06,023 --> 00:53:09,493
"I feel bad, for that matter
is happening to Jews in the world,

691
00:53:09,923 --> 00:53:13,955
but I cannot but sympathize with the blacks
and their fears in this story,

692
00:53:14,086 --> 00:53:16,174
which they regard as
hurtful and harmful.

693
00:53:26,526 --> 00:53:29,935
Truth be told, Selznick dedicated
more time and trouble,

694
00:53:30,206 --> 00:53:32,617
in order to come up with the look and manner
speech for Vivien Leigh,

695
00:53:33,233 --> 00:53:34,475
by his vision of Scarlett.

696
00:53:35,981 --> 00:53:39,945
"Miss Leigh should be regular
appears every morning between 9:00 and 9:30."

697
00:53:40,416 --> 00:53:42,521
"To work on his accent for at least 2 hours,

698
00:53:43,096 --> 00:53:44,206
and then report to costume rehearsals."

699
00:53:46,950 --> 00:53:46,950
"Then call Mr. Cukor
to acting rehearsals,

700
00:53:46,951 --> 00:53:49,631
and all test shots
which may be required."

701
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:53,638
"I would like to do photo tests
to do various experiments,

702
00:53:53,893 --> 00:53:55,379
to make up her eyebrows in various ways,

703
00:53:55,739 --> 00:53:57,597
to make them look as natural as possible
in accordance with the time."

704
00:53:57,967 --> 00:54:00,971
"Different ways of make-up and
experiments with her figure...

705
00:54:01,482 --> 00:54:03,451
and especially her butt."

706
00:54:05,038 --> 00:54:08,477
Selznick threatened by social security
gatherings of that time,

707
00:54:09,161 --> 00:54:13,587
also decided that Vivien and Olivier would not
they are allowed to live together during the recording period.

708
00:54:14,123 --> 00:54:19,293
David wanted his Scarlett to be
the perfect, innocent southern girl.

709
00:54:20,073 --> 00:54:23,088
And that nothing tarnishes her character...

710
00:54:23,577 --> 00:54:27,436
So he set up a 24-hour guard around the house,

711
00:54:28,100 --> 00:54:32,982
so that no one could come and take a picture of it.

712
00:54:35,210 --> 00:54:38,994
On January 21, Clark Gable arrived
to their test recordings.

713
00:54:39,882 --> 00:54:46,212
MGM told me that Clark refuses to do anything
what conditions does the Southern accent have.

714
00:54:47,340 --> 00:54:53,038
Gable was steadfast in his decision, yes
never make a costume movie again.

715
00:54:53,465 --> 00:54:57,829
He recorded "Parnell" and it was a big one
failure, he was always ashamed of it.

716
00:54:58,455 --> 00:55:00,608
Clark Gable's voice: The reason I didn't
wanted to film "Gone with the Wind",

717
00:55:01,024 --> 00:55:08,767
It's a novella, which is a bestseller
book of all time.

718
00:55:09,353 --> 00:55:15,099
People create their own vision of personality.
And they have a vision of who will play them.

719
00:55:15,706 --> 00:55:18,708
They already had an idea about
to whom they want to see.

720
00:55:19,438 --> 00:55:22,402
That's why I didn't want to act. I said
to himself: "Too many people know this personality,

721
00:55:22,735 --> 00:55:26,504
but my god, with Rhett Butler,
that they saw one thing which

722
00:55:26,754 --> 00:55:28,786
they don't like it, right away
would compare it to a book."

723
00:55:29,835 --> 00:55:31,342
"I had to be
careful, and I knew it."

724
00:55:31,884 --> 00:55:36,542
It seemed that between these two
people are coldly friendly.

725
00:55:37,221 --> 00:55:39,701
Gable knew this was a woman's film,

726
00:55:40,103 --> 00:55:43,584
but he treated her
with the greatest respect.

727
00:55:58,953 --> 00:56:03,290
As the final preparations took place,
so the revisions of the script were �e��.

728
00:56:04,031 --> 00:56:05,946
Selznick brought in new writers,

729
00:56:06,169 --> 00:56:08,391
Edwin Justice Mayer, John Van Druten

730
00:56:08,865 --> 00:56:11,494
Scott Fitzgerald has arrived
to improve dialogues.

731
00:56:11,932 --> 00:56:13,230
And he was quickly fired.

732
00:56:13,670 --> 00:56:17,655
The script was a mess, that's why
now only one man wrote it.

733
00:56:18,096 --> 00:56:19,225
David Selznick.

734
00:56:19,784 --> 00:56:22,312
January 25. "Dear Jock,

735
00:56:22,598 --> 00:56:26,240
don't panic because of a little done
of the final scenario."

736
00:56:26,355 --> 00:56:30,052
"I'm so clear in my mind, that I can give you
I explain the film from beginning to end."

737
00:56:30,369 --> 00:56:32,027
"Almost every frame."

738
00:56:32,372 --> 00:56:34,645
"A few days ago I
was sick with doubt,

739
00:56:34,905 --> 00:56:39,186
but from the night before, from the day of the shooting
I'm completely confident."

740
00:56:39,411 --> 00:56:42,658
"But he will have to bear it
these few months with me,

741
00:56:43,127 --> 00:56:44,657
which will be the hardest I know of."

742
00:56:54,044 --> 00:56:56,043
January 26, 1939

743
00:56:58,106 --> 00:57:01,004
Two and a half years since
did Selznick buy the book,

744
00:57:01,756 --> 00:57:05,399
Basic filming on the film "Prohujalo
with the wind", they finally started.

745
00:57:27,642 --> 00:57:29,026
The first scene that was supposed to be
to be recorded is,

746
00:57:29,348 --> 00:57:32,014
Scarlet's presentation
at the beginning of the movie.

747
00:57:32,319 --> 00:57:36,585
The version you saw in the movie is not
the one that was recorded on the first day.

748
00:57:37,346 --> 00:57:42,413
It was re-recorded 5 times
in the next few months.

749
00:57:43,068 --> 00:57:46,981
On the scene that was filmed the first time
day Selznick decided that the hair
on the Tarlton brothers too red.

750
00:57:47,266 --> 00:57:49,323
And that it's Scarlett's dress
completely wrong.

751
00:57:51,128 --> 00:57:54,001
He was such a perfectionist.

752
00:57:54,499 --> 00:57:58,580
I remember when I had
first costume rehearsals,

753
00:57:59,339 --> 00:58:03,374
I was amazed when
I saw those wonderful petticoats.

754
00:58:03,536 --> 00:58:06,769
There was a lot of lace.

755
00:58:07,058 --> 00:58:09,723
I told myself I have to help this one
poor man to save some money.

756
00:58:10,188 --> 00:58:15,102
And she said: - I made costumes for Mr. Selznick
Westerns and films about the Civil War.

757
00:58:15,566 --> 00:58:19,360
You are throwing so much money at
all those expensive laces,

758
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:23,072
all those petticoats will not even be seen.

759
00:58:23,466 --> 00:58:25,210
No one will even know
that the laces are there.

760
00:58:25,627 --> 00:58:27,413
And he said: - You will know that they are there.

761
00:58:27,892 --> 00:58:33,437
You are the daughter of a rich plantation owner,
shut up and stand there and finish the dress rehearsal.

762
00:58:52,322 --> 00:58:55,304
Director G. Cukor excelled
in scenes like this,

763
00:58:55,569 --> 00:58:57,817
Women talking in
the houses there.

764
00:58:58,235 --> 00:59:01,810
He had a way of being an actress
feels very safe.

765
00:59:02,332 --> 00:59:05,153
He was good and gentle,

766
00:59:05,653 --> 00:59:09,913
and wonderful, every woman would love to work with Georg.

767
00:59:22,366 --> 00:59:26,908
Vivien Leigh was already quoted as saying
dangerous traces of feelings of the character Scarlett.

768
00:59:29,873 --> 00:59:35,137
January 31, market scene in Atlanta,
Clark Gable arrives on his first day of work.

769
00:59:39,968 --> 00:59:42,882
He came without preparation
that Vivien went through,

770
00:59:43,234 --> 00:59:46,753
with the suspicion that Cukor
not his type of director.

771
00:59:47,305 --> 00:59:51,514
Cukor looked at women as rare flowers,
and the men as ready to shovel.

772
00:59:52,244 --> 00:59:55,829
It was an unfortunate circumstance
Gable must dance in the first scene.

773
00:59:56,253 --> 00:59:58,344
An ability he didn't have
in real life.

774
00:59:58,921 --> 01:00:02,231
Added moving platforms,
that his playing would be difficult.

775
01:00:03,145 --> 01:00:04,832
He felt exposed.

776
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:24,455
February 7, production is progressing with the plot,
to Melanie's birth scene.

777
01:00:41,231 --> 01:00:47,064
She started beating Butterfly McQueen, and Cukor is
said he tries to be as realistic as possible,

778
01:00:48,011 --> 01:00:50,566
... and in the middle of filming...

779
01:00:51,078 --> 01:00:55,709
Butterfly McQueen said tearfully:
- I can't go on, it hurts me.

780
01:00:56,478 --> 01:01:02,141
And Cukor said: - I'm the director, I'll do it
I say when to stop recording.

781
01:01:02,475 --> 01:01:07,173
I don't remember him being angry.
I remember my haggling with him,

782
01:01:07,508 --> 01:01:10,414
I said: If me
I'm not going to scream,

783
01:01:10,615 --> 01:01:13,592
but if you don't dazzle me
they scream as much as they can.

784
01:01:14,024 --> 01:01:17,237
And someone behind the camera did this,

785
01:01:17,764 --> 01:01:20,246
and she came close to the face.

786
01:01:20,712 --> 01:01:22,064
It was as if I was bewitched.

787
01:01:22,978 --> 01:01:27,505
And a guy from Jordan said:
- She shouldn't have charmed you.
But I think it is.

788
01:01:27,616 --> 01:01:31,631
I think Prissy was busy,
it was necessary to vacate often.

789
01:01:37,468 --> 01:01:40,901
Then I hated that role,
and Mr. Selznick understood,

790
01:01:41,101 --> 01:01:44,775
that it is a difficult role
for an intelligent person,

791
01:01:45,657 --> 01:01:51,664
that's why it was 1938, and I didn't think so
that you should go to the past and beat the slave.

792
01:01:52,016 --> 01:01:54,223
Still, I did everything
what they asked of me

793
01:01:54,324 --> 01:01:57,119
but I didn't let them fool me and
I didn't want to eat watermelon.

794
01:01:57,385 --> 01:01:58,120
Mammie told me: - No
to return to Hollywood, he protests a lot.

795
01:02:02,197 --> 01:02:04,319
Butterfly wasn't the only one protesting.

796
01:02:04,512 --> 01:02:09,849
As the scene unfolded, Selznick clashed with
Sugar around reading one of her texts.

797
01:02:30,334 --> 01:02:38,767
And Selznick wanted it to be calm.

798
01:02:39,093 --> 01:02:40,727
They had two different versions.

799
01:02:41,646 --> 01:02:45,469
After the first 10 days of recording,

800
01:02:45,670 --> 01:02:46,470
We only had 23 minutes of film,

801
01:02:48,540 --> 01:02:52,003
And we needed 10 of those
to record again.

802
01:02:52,364 --> 01:02:53,386
It didn't work.

803
01:02:54,206 --> 01:02:56,974
After more than 2 years
film preparation,

804
01:02:57,392 --> 01:02:59,360
Cukor and Selznick did not
could agree

805
01:02:59,853 --> 01:03:01,173
they fought over the script,

806
01:03:01,373 --> 01:03:04,545
and Cukor's rhythm was too slow,
maybe too Southern.

807
01:03:04,821 --> 01:03:06,422
It indicated that the film would become longer,

808
01:03:07,267 --> 01:03:10,437
And Gable was heavy, he wasn't
sure his Rhett is the real one.

809
01:03:11,521 --> 01:03:14,202
Selznick predicted that
big epic scenes are coming.

810
01:03:14,602 --> 01:03:17,959
He knew he needed it
General and not Ba�tovan.

811
01:03:18,646 --> 01:03:22,192
Southern Dialect Trainer, Susan
Marrick told M. Mitchell:

812
01:03:22,676 --> 01:03:23,193
"George finally told me all about it,

813
01:03:25,736 --> 01:03:29,905
he watched the attacks for days
and felt that he was failing.

814
01:03:30,317 --> 01:03:34,232
He knew he was a good director
and that the actors are good.

815
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:37,212
But the thing that isn't
littered properly,

816
01:03:38,413 --> 01:03:42,023
gradually he was more and more convinced
that the script doesn't work."

817
01:03:42,497 --> 01:03:47,534
"So Cukor told David that he wouldn't
continue to work if the scenario is not improved.

818
01:03:47,923 --> 01:03:50,189
And that he wants Howard's back
script back."

819
01:03:50,709 --> 01:03:53,794
"David told him he was
he is a director and not a judge,

820
01:03:53,988 --> 01:03:58,070
And that he, David, is the producer and yes
knows what a good screenplay is."

821
01:03:58,672 --> 01:04:01,894
"And George told him that he
is a director and a damn good one,

822
01:04:02,095 --> 01:04:05,512
and that he will not allow that
his name appears in a bad movie."

823
01:04:05,990 --> 01:04:10,335
“And if they don't go back to Howard's
script, he's done."

824
01:04:10,601 --> 01:04:13,828
"And the enraged David told him: - Okay, go."

825
01:04:15,819 --> 01:04:18,603
Cukor resigns on the spot
director "Gone with the Wind"!

826
01:04:19,430 --> 01:04:24,822
"After a series of disagreements between
us in the work on "Gone with the Wind",

827
01:04:25,708 --> 01:04:32,074
together we decided that it was the only solution
to choose another director as soon as possible.

828
01:04:33,166 --> 01:04:36,728
That was a big break in
to our professional cooperation.

829
01:04:37,225 --> 01:04:40,491
I was removed from the movie, and...

830
01:04:41,156 --> 01:04:42,769
You'd think it was us
it ruined the friendship

831
01:04:42,969 --> 01:04:46,298
not by chance, we remained great friends.

832
01:04:46,898 --> 01:04:49,648
It is an honor for both of us.

833
01:04:50,098 --> 01:04:55,457
Vivien wrote home: - He was mine
the last hope, that I will ever enjoy a movie.

834
01:04:55,799 --> 01:05:01,093
Vivien adored Cukor, and she was
very upset that it was removed from the film,

835
01:05:02,155 --> 01:05:05,155
She often went to see him
visits on Sunday afternoons.

836
01:05:05,661 --> 01:05:07,977
She was unsure that she had lost him,

837
01:05:08,499 --> 01:05:12,980
and they argued about
small details in the film.

838
01:05:13,526 --> 01:05:16,847
To her new director, Fr
to how the scenes play out.

839
01:05:18,261 --> 01:05:20,959
Victor Fleming was
MGM's Best Director,

840
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:23,009
He was Gable's buddy.

841
01:05:23,427 --> 01:05:25,247
Director of "Red Dust", "Test Pilot".

842
01:05:35,528 --> 01:05:40,505
At the beginning of 1939, Flemming is
directed MGM's major project:

843
01:05:42,706 --> 01:05:44,058
"The Wizard of Oz"

844
01:05:48,981 --> 01:05:51,365
ALi was Selznick's first
choice to replace Cukor,

845
01:05:52,438 --> 01:05:55,544
And Louis B. Mayer,
very scary lion,

846
01:05:55,921 --> 01:05:57,762
came to the rescue at high speed.

847
01:06:04,909 --> 01:06:07,655
Flemming was removed from "Oz"
before it is finished.

848
01:06:08,104 --> 01:06:11,297
And he called on
job on February 17.

849
01:06:15,301 --> 01:06:20,031
And while Flemming read the first few pages
scenarios that had been recorded until then,

850
01:06:20,921 --> 01:06:26,403
He turned and said: - Mr. Selznick,
you don't have a damn script!

851
01:06:32,282 --> 01:06:34,715
Filming "Gone with the Wind"
was suspended for 17 days.

852
01:06:35,252 --> 01:06:38,711
The scenography was empty, empty
cost of $10,000 per day.

853
01:06:39,405 --> 01:06:42,509
"Selznick's downfall" like that
cynics called the film from now on.

854
01:06:43,137 --> 01:06:46,483
While Hollywood gloated over Flemming and
Selznick worked on the script,

855
01:06:46,910 --> 01:06:49,456
This time it's Ben Hecht
was invited to remake it.

856
01:06:49,858 --> 01:06:53,395
They are at 7 o'clock in the morning
Mr. Selznick and Mr. Flemming,

857
01:06:53,830 --> 01:06:57,272
came and said yes and I have to
I go up with them, that I have to,

858
01:06:57,628 --> 01:06:58,997
I write "Gone with the Wind".

859
01:06:59,388 --> 01:07:03,159
And David told me the whole story,
but I could not follow him.

860
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:15,630
And so to save time, he
he played the characters for me and explained them.

861
01:07:16,008 --> 01:07:21,792
David played Scarlet Father Haru, and Flemming
took the role of Butler and someone else.

862
01:07:22,113 --> 01:07:25,242
We would start every morning at 7 o'clock...

863
01:07:26,724 --> 01:07:31,041
Hecht finally persuaded Selznick
to find Howard's original writing,

864
01:07:31,090 --> 01:07:34,897
as the best and used it
it for processing.

865
01:07:35,792 --> 01:07:38,791
They worked day and night,

866
01:07:39,017 --> 01:07:40,651
to finish it.

867
01:07:41,253 --> 01:07:42,827
Seznick on bensedin,

868
01:07:43,133 --> 01:07:45,510
Hecht on the same energy,

869
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:48,801
and after two weeks Ben
was broken

870
01:07:49,211 --> 01:07:52,219
David Selznick is still
swallowed pills,

871
01:07:52,827 --> 01:07:56,219
it was still full
energy and excitement.

872
01:07:56,726 --> 01:07:58,776
And he begged him to stay
another week.

873
01:07:59,194 --> 01:08:01,114
To end what is
thought it was necessary.

874
01:08:01,636 --> 01:08:06,653
Hecht didn't stay, he ran,
got on the train,

875
01:08:06,911 --> 01:08:10,136
and he returned home and did not
answered the phone.

876
01:08:13,982 --> 01:08:16,640
2. March shooting is
started under Flemming,

877
01:08:17,695 --> 01:08:19,625
He had advantages
as a newbie,

878
01:08:20,473 --> 01:08:25,536
not a lot of discussion, a lot of fresh energy
and a certain neglect of nice little things.

879
01:08:30,627 --> 01:08:37,035
If Selznik tells him what he wants to his face, no
those damned messages on papers.

880
01:08:38,217 --> 01:08:42,303
I suddenly paid attention when I
saw Flemming. He had enormous attention.

881
01:08:43,194 --> 01:08:46,219
He was the head of the table where
whatever he was, he was the embodiment of his father.

882
01:08:46,486 --> 01:08:51,263
He wasn't talking nonsense, and neither were we
we loved and were very submissive,

883
01:08:51,537 --> 01:08:53,262
in everything he wanted us to do.

884
01:08:53,859 --> 01:08:55,764
I thought he was a scumbag.

885
01:08:56,708 --> 01:09:00,565
He was disgusting to me in many ways,

886
01:09:01,347 --> 01:09:05,789
but I recognized his talent,
he was a very strong woman,

887
01:09:05,955 --> 01:09:08,173
Which was what Gable was looking for.

888
01:09:09,196 --> 01:09:11,266
He didn't like Mr. Seznicka.

889
01:09:11,619 --> 01:09:15,764
I don't think he liked it
nobody but Gable and himself.

890
01:09:16,253 --> 01:09:21,020
But he did bring something...
new strength...

891
01:09:21,210 --> 01:09:24,818
the whole theme of "Gone with the Wind" is
suddenly it started to happen

892
01:09:25,192 --> 01:09:31,005
and the girls who cried for Cukor,
they didn't understand that the movie had a spirit,

893
01:09:31,202 --> 01:09:35,360
and pace, he was a very good director.

894
01:09:35,747 --> 01:09:40,126
Although I personally could not stand it
the vocabulary he used on the recording,

895
01:09:40,326 --> 01:09:43,534
how he treated Vivien,
he was very strict with her.

896
01:09:44,242 --> 01:09:47,912
It's no wonder she was constantly crying for Cukor,
when he was very insightful

897
01:09:48,112 --> 01:09:49,719
and friendly towards her.

898
01:09:50,224 --> 01:09:53,351
He let her act
as she thought she should.

899
01:09:53,794 --> 01:09:58,538
And Flemming demanded it be
the house is as described.

900
01:09:59,852 --> 01:10:03,049
"Marcella, please talk for a moment
with Mr. Flemming,

901
01:10:04,912 --> 01:10:08,046
which is to my satisfaction, even more
more determined to display breasts than I am."

902
01:10:09,118 --> 01:10:11,359
"I've bothered the poor thing enough
Vivien about that,

903
01:10:12,114 --> 01:10:15,585
please explain to Victor that
don't be so despondent from now on."

904
01:10:16,034 --> 01:10:19,921
It was a new way to make Scarlett
more like Gable's type of girl.

905
01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:22,936
Make the plot more cruel
if necessary, but let it move.

906
01:10:23,255 --> 01:10:26,831
The only thing was that Selznick still wasn't
satisfied with what he sees on the projections.

907
01:10:27,533 --> 01:10:31,725
March 3, 2 or 3 scenes
are too dark.

908
01:10:32,061 --> 01:10:35,916
I can't put it into people's heads
yes when I'm looking for a fixed recording,

909
01:10:36,008 --> 01:10:40,223
I don't ask for it to be dark,
so that people do not see what is happening.

910
01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:43,304
If we have to choose between
artistic and clear pictures,

911
01:10:43,404 --> 01:10:45,010
let's forget about the artistic picture.

912
01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:50,983
After only 9 days, after after
restart recording,

913
01:10:51,221 --> 01:10:53,110
cameraman Lee Garme
s was dismissed.

914
01:10:53,482 --> 01:10:57,114
Garmes was a cameraman artist,
A man with personal style.

915
01:10:57,471 --> 01:10:59,669
Selznick thought it was
his work too soft,

916
01:10:59,870 --> 01:11:03,298
if he hadn't captured the richness of the colors
which Menzies drew.

917
01:11:04,143 --> 01:11:06,438
Ernest Haller was brought in to replace him.

918
01:11:06,943 --> 01:11:10,930
Ironically, he was filming "Jezebel"
and worked well with,

919
01:11:11,130 --> 01:11:13,742
Ray Ranahan, Technicolor
the main cameraman.

920
01:11:14,693 --> 01:11:17,208
Now Selznick turned to other sectors,

921
01:11:17,512 --> 01:11:22,182
He sent a lot of objections and
instructions in your messages.

922
01:11:22,644 --> 01:11:23,601
March 9,

923
01:11:23,841 --> 01:11:26,323
"I see now how much
we were fooling ourselves

924
01:11:26,691 --> 01:11:29,562
I feel we can do it
something effective with the old sets."

925
01:11:30,423 --> 01:11:35,414
"The scene with Gerald and Scarlett looks like it
filmed in the backyard of a house in the suburbs."

926
01:11:36,182 --> 01:11:38,334
"I have a feeling that, rather
but when we finish,

927
01:11:38,535 --> 01:11:41,710
we have to go out on location
and reshoot that scene."

928
01:11:43,468 --> 01:11:46,629
"11. March, our sets
they look exactly as they are."

929
01:11:47,149 --> 01:11:49,426
"Like sets that are set up
a few hours ago,

930
01:11:49,935 --> 01:11:54,267
instead of looking like
that someone lives in them.

931
01:11:55,433 --> 01:11:59,447
"April 3rd, I spoke with Walter today
Plunkett about Gable's bones."

932
01:11:59,978 --> 01:12:02,872
"I don't think there's any justification for that
were so badly chosen for him."

933
01:12:03,161 --> 01:12:04,656
Especially collars.

934
01:12:05,276 --> 01:12:06,501
"April 17,

935
01:12:07,139 --> 01:12:09,573
The clothes I'm on
complained earlier,

936
01:12:10,077 --> 01:12:14,757
is a real masterpiece compared to
this one I saw on Saturday."

937
01:12:15,437 --> 01:12:19,824
"Never dressed so badly
I haven't seen it on a common man."

938
01:12:20,303 --> 01:12:22,016
"Even less on a star."

939
01:12:22,662 --> 01:12:26,582
Typical of Selznick, nothing like a pair
nice words to keep the team together.

940
01:12:28,096 --> 01:12:31,803
One thing was certain,
the film was far over budget.

941
01:12:32,204 --> 01:12:34,546
And no one knew how much it would cost in the end.

942
01:12:35,100 --> 01:12:38,276
There was only so much money that the company
push through the next 3 weeks.

943
01:12:38,723 --> 01:12:42,315
And MGM refused to invest a single cent
more than the agreed sum.

944
01:12:43,249 --> 01:12:47,770
Whittney failed to attract
their partners to help.

945
01:12:48,329 --> 01:12:50,929
So are Jock and his
sister invested another million.

946
01:12:51,394 --> 01:12:55,489
Plus they got a personal guarantee for
further investment of 1,250,000.

947
01:12:55,592 --> 01:12:57,983
from A.P. Gianinni from Bank of America.

948
01:12:59,140 --> 01:13:01,693
It was money to finish
"Whirlwind" and "Intermezzo",

949
01:13:01,951 --> 01:13:04,088
and for the production of the upcoming "Rebecca".

950
01:13:08,433 --> 01:13:10,247
Since they are new funds
provided,

951
01:13:10,598 --> 01:13:13,885
Selznick started construction
big set in Atlanta.

952
01:13:14,222 --> 01:13:15,413
Evacuation scene.

953
01:13:17,796 --> 01:13:20,377
- We used 5 or 6 cameras,

954
01:13:20,943 --> 01:13:24,524
I was posting
additional between carriages,

955
01:13:24,985 --> 01:13:28,750
and I watched over the actors so they wouldn't get hurt
because there was a lot going on.

956
01:13:29,469 --> 01:13:34,278
- Some carriages passed there as well
was Vivien in the midst of that mob,

957
01:13:34,432 --> 01:13:35,988
I thought she was crazy.

958
01:13:36,361 --> 01:13:38,939
It was enough for me to be myself
make sure the actors don't get hurt

959
01:13:39,149 --> 01:13:42,740
and not yet to keep an eye on the star
movie, I was really nervous.

960
01:13:45,125 --> 01:13:48,178
"Gone with the Wind" is
contained many scenes,

961
01:13:48,491 --> 01:13:51,042
and Vivien was in almost all of them.

962
01:13:51,506 --> 01:13:52,901
You can see it here...

963
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:59,487
She worked, almost every one
of those 125 days of recording.

964
01:14:04,677 --> 01:14:09,073
He came to New York to do a play
with C. Quinel, called "Time for Comedy".

965
01:14:09,569 --> 01:14:12,242
And that upset Vivien very much.

966
01:14:13,209 --> 01:14:17,696
- When the war is over, Ashley.
When the war is over.

967
01:14:18,895 --> 01:14:23,618
Bial is motivated to hurry.

968
01:14:24,308 --> 01:14:26,077
To end the recording
as soon as possible,

969
01:14:26,486 --> 01:14:28,365
to return to the man she loves as soon as possible.

970
01:14:28,677 --> 01:14:31,923
As long as the crew and the director are there
were there, she wanted to work.

971
01:14:32,209 --> 01:14:35,192
At the usual end of the working day,

972
01:14:35,303 --> 01:14:38,925
she would say: - Vic dear, if we could
should we do two more scenes?

973
01:14:39,357 --> 01:14:43,214
And she did it with such charm
that she was fine with him.

974
01:14:43,732 --> 01:14:47,100
Vivien and Scarlett were close
cousins in my opinion.

975
01:14:47,539 --> 01:14:51,363
Because both were very
smooth and manipulative.

976
01:14:52,337 --> 01:14:55,840
Vivien knew how to get it
What she wants, and she usually succeeds in it.

977
01:14:56,512 --> 01:14:59,143
- Oh, it's cold and I'm alone
forgot her muff.

978
01:14:59,374 --> 01:15:02,013
- Do you mind if I put something on it?
your hand in your pocket?

979
01:15:07,094 --> 01:15:11,362
The urge to be so good,
in my opinion,

980
01:15:11,721 --> 01:15:12,363
there was fire and fury in her,

981
01:15:15,776 --> 01:15:18,842
due to the fact that she was
separated from Olivier...

982
01:15:19,601 --> 01:15:22,938
which was projected through the character of Scarlett.

983
01:15:37,274 --> 01:15:41,185
There was no original script,
it was completely redone.

984
01:15:41,857 --> 01:15:43,537
And he would get those long pages...

985
01:15:44,369 --> 01:15:49,615
and we would stand and watch
is how I take the paper,

986
01:15:49,983 --> 01:15:53,342
looked at it, several pages,
left them and did the scene.

987
01:15:54,076 --> 01:15:56,983
Selznick is still feverish
processed every night.

988
01:15:57,528 --> 01:16:01,020
In early April S. Howard
was returned again.

989
01:16:01,465 --> 01:16:05,446
To put together the scenario that is now
was a rainbow of colored inserts.

990
01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:09,897
"I give Selznick the scene to shoot
which I have carefully prepared."

991
01:16:10,098 --> 01:16:14,941
"I look at it on the screen, and he reworked it
every trace of dramatic style in her."

992
01:16:15,386 --> 01:16:16,611
"Every bit of character,

993
01:16:17,050 --> 01:16:19,115
and in my opinion, every part of the illusion."

994
01:16:37,211 --> 01:16:40,447
"I was shown a shortened film up to the scene where
Rhett leaves Scarlett at the crossroads,

995
01:16:44,344 --> 01:16:48,366
I found the scene wonderful
color, dull in action."

996
01:16:51,111 --> 01:16:54,328
"Flemming takes 4 shots of something
per day, to keep working."

997
01:16:54,584 --> 01:16:58,312
"And another shot, yes
could sleep peacefully."

998
01:16:59,164 --> 01:17:03,643
"Selznick is constantly bent over, and I think
that he has chronic inflammation of the stomach."

999
01:17:04,239 --> 01:17:08,184
"Half the staff looks, talks and behaves
seems to be on the verge of breaking down."

1000
01:17:09,244 --> 01:17:13,031
"I've been worried for some time now
Flemming won't be able to finish the film."

1001
01:17:13,632 --> 01:17:19,036
"It's so close to breaking point,
physically and mentally, from exhaustion."

1002
01:17:19,222 --> 01:17:23,577
"It would be a miracle, in my opinion, if
be able to shoot for another 7 or 8 weeks."

1003
01:17:24,144 --> 01:17:26,549
Flemming left the film.

1004
01:17:27,784 --> 01:17:33,816
He and Vivien could not see each other
eye to eye, and he just left.

1005
01:17:36,336 --> 01:17:40,049
Director Flemming leaves sick
shooting of the film "Gone with the Wind".

1006
01:17:41,443 --> 01:17:43,953
And Flemming left
from the film April 29, 1939

1007
01:17:44,201 --> 01:17:47,329
The official announcement read
to suffer from a nervous breakdown.

1008
01:17:49,076 --> 01:17:55,860
I think, that his nervous breakdown in
for a period of 2 weeks, for which he disappeared,

1009
01:17:57,316 --> 01:18:00,084
was, in fact
punishing David Selznick.

1010
01:18:00,715 --> 01:18:04,762
He was troubled by the fact that
Selznick takes over filming,

1011
01:18:05,746 --> 01:18:09,946
he was on set longer than
He was in any movie.

1012
01:18:10,485 --> 01:18:13,537
He had a lot to say
it says about the way of acting,

1013
01:18:14,232 --> 01:18:16,513
he gave instructions,
he did everything civilly.

1014
01:18:16,977 --> 01:18:21,398
You can't do that to someone so capable
to the director, as Flemming was.

1015
01:18:22,561 --> 01:18:24,438
"Gone with the Wind" is
left without another director,

1016
01:18:25,087 --> 01:18:26,615
but this time there was no panic.

1017
01:18:27,174 --> 01:18:28,487
the film gained momentum.

1018
01:18:29,036 --> 01:18:31,905
Selznick's despair was
true guiding force.

1019
01:18:32,483 --> 01:18:35,204
And MGM had a new one
replacement, Sam Wood,

1020
01:18:35,372 --> 01:18:37,292
which has just finished
filming "Goodbye Mr. Ips".

1021
01:18:37,754 --> 01:18:42,595
The scenario changed every day, but
the actors already knew their roles.

1022
01:18:42,827 --> 01:18:46,123
And Selznick continued
with your confusion,

1023
01:18:46,481 --> 01:18:48,350
Finally, there is a point
on the set of a movie,

1024
01:18:48,550 --> 01:18:51,550
where everyone just wants the damn movie to be made.

1025
01:18:52,163 --> 01:18:54,610
After two weeks
Flemming is back,

1026
01:18:55,461 --> 01:19:01,098
recovered, or alarmed by the fact
that the other director is doing well.

1027
01:19:01,673 --> 01:19:05,754
"I had a long conversation with
Flemming about speeding up the filming."

1028
01:19:06,513 --> 01:19:10,865
"And he kept saying he had
They want him to participate in everything."

1029
01:19:12,025 --> 01:19:16,349
"Great for the cost,
everyone is at their wits end."

1030
01:19:17,046 --> 01:19:20,493
"God himself knows what will happen if
let's not finish this damn movie."

1031
01:19:21,172 --> 01:19:25,707
And so Woods stayed and the team
is divisible into two units.

1032
01:19:26,234 --> 01:19:29,178
Flemming caught himself in a trap
with the biggest scene in the movie.

1033
01:19:29,995 --> 01:19:34,909
By revealing the defeat of the south, with half-hearted
to the large number of victims of the Confederacy.

1034
01:19:36,207 --> 01:19:37,728
They were preparing for it,

1035
01:19:38,884 --> 01:19:41,576
I think they were far away
ahead of its time,

1036
01:19:41,971 --> 01:19:46,699
and there was no crane to lift us up
with the camera at the height we wanted.

1037
01:19:47,156 --> 01:19:50,747
So they got a construction crane
which lifted us 25 meters into the air.

1038
01:19:51,436 --> 01:19:54,908
They got the crane from
Shipyard "Long Beach".

1039
01:19:55,308 --> 01:20:01,471
And the reason for the 2 meter driveway
of thick concrete, was the weight of the crane.

1040
01:20:01,871 --> 01:20:06,624
We invited several thousand
extras for the day of filming.

1041
01:20:07,081 --> 01:20:14,466
But there were many invited
to the second shoot of the day,

1042
01:20:14,881 --> 01:20:19,109
and we could have won
only about 500 of them,

1043
01:20:19,493 --> 01:20:21,156
and we had to use puppets.

1044
01:20:23,180 --> 01:20:27,348
I was one of those extras
who are invited for that great scene,

1045
01:20:27,973 --> 01:20:30,951
they told me to go to the place
and fill in the blank.

1046
01:20:31,715 --> 01:20:33,477
So I came here and lay down,

1047
01:20:34,011 --> 01:20:38,875
and soon a man came
put the doll next to me.

1048
01:20:39,890 --> 01:20:44,045
Then the assistant director came and said
to reach under her,

1049
01:20:44,046 --> 01:20:45,146
he said, "Feel it under there?"

1050
01:20:46,035 --> 01:20:50,107
I said: "Yes". He told me to start
it learns and her hand will move.

1051
01:21:15,090 --> 01:21:17,461
It turned out very smoothly to blend that,

1052
01:21:17,801 --> 01:21:24,016
the problem was what they wanted to do
they show every wounded person in the scene.

1053
01:21:24,396 --> 01:21:27,121
And just above the top one
line was a city,

1054
01:21:27,328 --> 01:21:30,941
and it was very difficult to move
camera to the limit,

1055
01:21:32,485 --> 01:21:35,951
When the husband� M. Mitchell
later saw this scene,

1056
01:21:36,305 --> 01:21:40,954
he said: - If we had
so many soldiers we would win the war.

1057
01:21:47,806 --> 01:21:50,746
Sometimes Generals too
may be victims of war,

1058
01:21:51,057 --> 01:21:53,434
David Selznick is
experienced his breakdown.

1059
01:21:53,802 --> 01:21:58,026
But since he was constantly on benzedines,
he didn't have time to notice it.

1060
01:21:59,364 --> 01:22:01,187
He constantly supervised the filming,
adapted the script,

1061
01:22:01,867 --> 01:22:04,003
reviewed the reports, and found flaws.

1062
01:22:04,351 --> 01:22:06,286
Flattered Gable and Vivien Leigh.

1063
01:22:06,900 --> 01:22:08,690
It has already become a smear campaign,

1064
01:22:08,938 --> 01:22:12,632
advising and pressuring MGM to be
sure to dumb down the movie in the right way.

1065
01:22:12,975 --> 01:22:14,640
He was ending "Intermezzo",

1066
01:22:14,841 --> 01:22:16,935
And remade "Rebecca"
with Alfred Hitchcook.

1067
01:22:17,485 --> 01:22:21,581
David was
brilliant producer.

1068
01:22:22,565 --> 01:22:24,438
But terribly disorganized.

1069
01:22:24,902 --> 01:22:30,765
And as a result I was confused
schedule of shooting on film.

1070
01:22:31,242 --> 01:22:34,987
He held meetings every day.

1071
01:22:35,689 --> 01:22:41,072
The staff, especially the main ones in the production.

1072
01:22:41,619 --> 01:22:45,742
And Arden Cripe who was
our first man for property,

1073
01:22:48,070 --> 01:22:50,487
came in and gave the crystal ball.

1074
01:22:51,287 --> 01:22:55,932
He said: - I hope he can
to predict what we will do tomorrow,

1075
01:22:56,298 --> 01:22:58,217
better than before.

1076
01:22:58,839 --> 01:23:03,087
I said: - I don't know what
Selznick will do the following.

1077
01:23:10,486 --> 01:23:12,669
At that moment there were 6 teams
who worked on the film.

1078
01:23:17,485 --> 01:23:20,699
In one day, Delznick filmed
a scene in the cotton fields,

1079
01:23:21,227 --> 01:23:23,636
Wood was filming the office
sawmills with Vivien,

1080
01:23:24,108 --> 01:23:26,301
Menzies was filming the battlefield,

1081
01:23:26,684 --> 01:23:28,892
and the leader of the other group
B. Reeves Eason filmed

1082
01:23:29,092 --> 01:23:32,101
the scene in the refugee camp
with Scarlett's stunt double.

1083
01:23:33,972 --> 01:23:37,746
Selznick's studio is
was in a state of chaos.

1084
01:23:39,006 --> 01:23:42,854
There was a lot of discontent
about many things.

1085
01:23:43,575 --> 01:23:45,942
Morale was very low.

1086
01:23:46,902 --> 01:23:50,054
Because Selznick, the perfectionist,

1087
01:23:50,254 --> 01:23:53,645
pushed everyone to their limits,

1088
01:23:54,145 --> 01:23:55,821
sometimes over.

1089
01:23:56,661 --> 01:23:59,933
Towards the end, Selznick sent
letter to Leslie Howard.

1090
01:24:00,611 --> 01:24:02,707
To the only person who is
was above all that.

1091
01:24:03,149 --> 01:24:04,076
27. May.

1092
01:24:04,776 --> 01:24:09,128
"Dear Leslie, I am sending you a book
which you should read sometime."

1093
01:24:09,428 --> 01:24:10,669
It's called: "Gone with the Wind"

1094
01:24:11,301 --> 01:24:14,660
"I think the book has light
the future and that it will be a great movie."

1095
01:24:15,175 --> 01:24:20,445
"Seriously, you were telling me
that he doesn't know the scene at the house,

1096
01:24:20,846 --> 01:24:24,005
but also that he will read
part of the book from which it was taken."

1097
01:24:24,739 --> 01:24:26,910
"Promise? I'll check on you."

1098
01:24:28,544 --> 01:24:34,669
It's a rare opportunity to compare a scene from a movie,
with Cukor's version of the test recording.

1099
01:27:04,770 --> 01:27:08,219
The film was shot in 125 days.

1100
01:27:08,622 --> 01:27:11,900
I think such a film today
could not be recorded,

1101
01:27:12,458 --> 01:27:16,218
in 150 or maybe 200 days.

1102
01:27:16,531 --> 01:27:18,824
The "Damn Thing" is finally over,

1103
01:27:19,282 --> 01:27:21,678
and the leaders invited the whole team
to a party about it.

1104
01:27:22,159 --> 01:27:26,329
In fact, it was an opportunity
for a couple of drinks and photos.

1105
01:27:33,943 --> 01:27:37,945
Later that night, they started
reshoots of some scenes.

1106
01:27:39,209 --> 01:27:41,672
How they filmed, like that
we cut all the time,

1107
01:27:42,342 --> 01:27:48,756
About 10 days after the end of filming
we had the whole movie put together.

1108
01:27:54,548 --> 01:27:57,485
We spent many hours
in this screening room.

1109
01:27:57,854 --> 01:28:00,736
We tried to eliminate errors.

1110
01:28:05,892 --> 01:28:07,589
It was hard work,

1111
01:28:07,990 --> 01:28:13,000
It was not only necessary to know how to connect the parts
film, but also to have an accurate representation on paper.

1112
01:28:13,091 --> 01:28:14,001
And so something didn't exist.

1113
01:28:15,167 --> 01:28:17,126
Because it didn't exist
real scenario.

1114
01:28:17,676 --> 01:28:21,629
After all the alterations, that's it
existed only in Selznick's head.

1115
01:28:22,791 --> 01:28:26,367
Finally, in the editing room,
Selznick was in charge.

1116
01:28:27,252 --> 01:28:30,710
Without the screenwriter and director, yes
it bores him and confuses him.

1117
01:28:31,262 --> 01:28:33,518
He could sail on
I felt my heart.

1118
01:28:35,496 --> 01:28:38,101
They hoped that the prime minister would
film to be in November.

1119
01:28:38,981 --> 01:28:42,453
Today, in the best case it would
lasted at least a year.

1120
01:28:42,654 --> 01:28:44,342
And they tried to
finish it in 4 months,

1121
01:28:45,295 --> 01:28:48,943
Selznick and Hal C. Kern once
the others worked on the film for up to 50 hours.

1122
01:28:49,483 --> 01:28:50,970
They were the only ones left awake.

1123
01:28:51,455 --> 01:28:55,509
"For the last few months, radio
alone 23 hours a day on "Vihor".

1124
01:28:56,662 --> 01:29:03,046
"I went to the doctor after
I didn't function as I should,

1125
01:29:03,519 --> 01:29:06,865
and the doctor laid me on the table and said:
- For God's sake, man. so you are dead.

1126
01:29:07,456 --> 01:29:10,176
And then he called Selznick
and scolded him respectfully.

1127
01:29:10,840 --> 01:29:15,872
Not only did they have to cut and join
7000 out of 150,000 meters of film,

1128
01:29:16,443 --> 01:29:20,252
but so did Jack Cosgrove's section
to add special effects to all recordings.

1129
01:29:20,738 --> 01:29:22,764
There were hundreds of them in the movie.

1130
01:29:24,062 --> 01:29:27,095
Jack Cosgrove told Selznick:

1131
01:29:27,543 --> 01:29:30,358
- We can do the whole thing
movie, here in the studio,

1132
01:29:30,782 --> 01:29:33,142
using trick shots and
by overlapping recordings.

1133
01:29:33,711 --> 01:29:35,855
That's what we called recording
special effects.

1134
01:29:36,424 --> 01:29:40,312
Tara would be made as a backdrop,
but there was no wood in her background.

1135
01:29:40,315 --> 01:29:43,437
Just the town of Culver, and some scenery.

1136
01:29:43,792 --> 01:29:47,263
Too small a clip is part of the clip
which we wanted to be seen.

1137
01:29:48,252 --> 01:29:51,247
The part of the recording that we didn't
The cell is dimmed.

1138
01:29:51,870 --> 01:29:55,590
Then Jack painted the rest on the glass
and merged and recorded the two recordings together.

1139
01:29:56,315 --> 01:29:59,323
Cosgrove invented a new one
technique while we were working.

1140
01:29:59,802 --> 01:30:03,891
When we find ourselves in an impossible situation
situation, Jack would get us out of it.

1141
01:30:06,743 --> 01:30:09,427
Exterior of a house in Atlanta
was painted.

1142
01:30:10,138 --> 01:30:16,512
- Big G, Hosafat!
- But now we are rich.

1143
01:30:17,619 --> 01:30:21,152
If you download the picture, you will see that
was actually recorded in a studio.

1144
01:30:25,935 --> 01:30:28,215
12 Hrastova ditto
never made

1145
01:30:28,657 --> 01:30:32,449
The big scene was painted, but Jack
he never managed to finish it.

1146
01:30:33,064 --> 01:30:36,870
Carriages passed through the shadows,
and not a single one fell on them.

1147
01:30:46,175 --> 01:30:49,386
The arrival was recorded
at the entrance to studio 11.

1148
01:30:52,663 --> 01:30:56,335
Then Jack painted the rest
on the glass and connected them.

1149
01:31:00,881 --> 01:31:04,094
The stage set is made
to look at the front door...

1150
01:31:11,247 --> 01:31:14,519
... they let Scarlett in
right in the house at 12 Hrastova.

1151
01:31:16,524 --> 01:31:18,535
We never put a ceiling on the set.

1152
01:31:19,258 --> 01:31:21,034
Cosgrove painted them all.

1153
01:31:21,206 --> 01:31:23,193
It saved mongo time and money.

1154
01:31:24,969 --> 01:31:28,649
Jack Cosgrove's genius did
to make the atlanta burning scene work.

1155
01:31:45,104 --> 01:31:49,027
He took the raw footage,
and by his art,

1156
01:31:51,571 --> 01:31:54,184
Multiplied the fire and
he stuck it on the sets,

1157
01:31:54,577 --> 01:31:56,772
he put around the actors and that horse.

1158
01:31:57,273 --> 01:32:00,411
which from that distance are not
had nothing to do with fire.

1159
01:32:01,010 --> 01:32:05,099
<i>1. In September, the Nazis
the army entered Poland.</i>

1160
01:32:05,491 --> 01:32:06,955
<i>The Second World War has begun...</i>

1161
01:32:08,344 --> 01:32:14,229
It seemed that the atmosphere in
the study was not disturbed.

1162
01:32:16,444 --> 01:32:21,339
I think we knew who Hitler was
and what will be the consequences.

1163
01:32:22,392 --> 01:32:26,031
It was very far from us.

1164
01:32:27,458 --> 01:32:31,877
The exhausted company was still recovering
since the tragic news of the death of Sydney Howard,

1165
01:32:32,302 --> 01:32:34,081
in a tractor accident on his farm.

1166
01:32:35,578 --> 01:32:37,549
But it was barely there
a time to mourn.

1167
01:32:38,204 --> 01:32:40,804
There was pressure to
save the next part for review.

1168
01:32:42,519 --> 01:32:47,621
Mr. Selznick wanted to take a look
film so that the press does not find out about it.

1169
01:32:48,383 --> 01:32:53,442
He wanted to get a real reaction
audience, without the press finding out about it.

1170
01:32:54,267 --> 01:32:56,223
Mr. Kern told him

1171
01:32:56,911 --> 01:32:57,224
- The only way to do it is,
to let me do all the preparations,

1172
01:33:00,233 --> 01:33:02,337
because if you know about
to that, tell everyone.

1173
01:33:03,381 --> 01:33:07,095
On September 9, Hal Kern said
Selznick that the time has come.

1174
01:33:07,640 --> 01:33:10,923
They left the studio with 54 rolls
film and soundtrack.

1175
01:33:11,959 --> 01:33:14,049
It was a very hot afternoon,

1176
01:33:14,793 --> 01:33:17,779
and they drove for almost 2 hours
outside Los Angeles.

1177
01:33:18,466 --> 01:33:22,422
With them were Jim Newcom,
Jock Whitney and Irene Selznick.

1178
01:33:27,051 --> 01:33:30,101
Suddenly the car stopped at
of Fox Cinemas in Riverside.

1179
01:33:30,912 --> 01:33:33,591
They were showing "Beau Geste"
with Gary Cooper.

1180
01:33:34,088 --> 01:33:36,184
to make sure it is
good crowd inside.

1181
01:33:36,793 --> 01:33:39,329
Mr. Selznick was waiting
outside at the cash register,

1182
01:33:39,747 --> 01:33:44,549
and sent for the manager of the cinema,
who apparently concluded well,

1183
01:33:44,894 --> 01:33:47,848
very clearly promising everything.

1184
01:34:02,426 --> 01:34:06,813
"When I got to the cinema that night,
because it was very warm that night.

1185
01:34:07,607 --> 01:34:09,030
The cinema had cooling.

1186
01:34:10,042 --> 01:34:12,893
I came to see "Beau Geste",

1187
01:34:30,474 --> 01:34:32,623
<i>Special Notice</i>

1188
01:34:32,823 --> 01:34:34,280
<i>Ladies and gentlemen.</i>

1189
01:34:34,880 --> 01:34:36,679
<i>Ladies and gentlemen!</i>

1190
01:34:38,464 --> 01:34:40,835
<i>Please for your attention!</i>

1191
01:34:41,700 --> 01:34:45,790
The lights came on,
and the man went on stage.

1192
01:34:46,066 --> 01:34:49,851
and said we were going to watch the studio show,

1193
01:34:49,852 --> 01:34:51,630
<i> New important film.</i>

1194
01:34:51,830 --> 01:34:54,151
- What's the movie?
- Who plays in it?

1195
01:34:54,351 --> 01:34:57,372
I'm sorry but I can't tell you
which is, but I can tell you,

1196
01:34:57,559 --> 01:35:00,692
it's a little long, so if
one of you wants to go home

1197
01:35:01,084 --> 01:35:05,179
please go, that's why
at this moment the door be locked,

1198
01:35:05,427 --> 01:35:08,165
and no one will be allowed to enter...

1199
01:35:08,365 --> 01:35:10,916
We were excited to see what it would be like.

1200
01:35:11,136 --> 01:35:14,170
Is it really as big as we thought?

1201
01:35:14,471 --> 01:35:21,006
<i> To be judges, not critics
and not journalists. Thank you.</i>

1202
01:35:23,506 --> 01:35:26,866
The check-out picture had not been made yet
and the music was not saved.

1203
01:35:27,340 --> 01:35:30,929
That's why Hal Kerb pitched
music from "Zenda".

1204
01:35:41,410 --> 01:35:43,796
When the name M. Mitchell
appeared on the screen,

1205
01:35:46,279 --> 01:35:48,260
I have never heard such muttering.

1206
01:35:48,944 --> 01:35:50,974
And when "It blew away with
by a whirlwind" appeared on the screen

1207
01:35:52,006 --> 01:35:54,413
everyone was delighted,

1208
01:35:55,295 --> 01:35:58,064
Everyone shouted, got up from their chairs,

1209
01:35:58,711 --> 01:36:02,794
so much so that you couldn't hear anything.

1210
01:36:03,591 --> 01:36:07,695
Mr. Selznick cried like
a little child, and so am I.

1211
01:36:08,797 --> 01:36:10,653
From excitement.

1212
01:36:22,591 --> 01:36:25,599
When the movie ended you could
to hear the pin drop to the floor.

1213
01:36:26,126 --> 01:36:27,654
The audience was stunned.

1214
01:36:28,166 --> 01:36:31,294
Then I turned and said to my mom:
- Can we watch "Beau Geste" now?

1215
01:36:32,952 --> 01:36:35,497
- I can't find either
one flaw in this movie.

1216
01:36:38,937 --> 01:36:38,986
- I think this is the best movie
ever, and which will be recorded.

1217
01:36:39,071 --> 01:36:41,382
The movie itself is as good as we've seen it,

1218
01:36:41,582 --> 01:36:45,161
leave it as is but cut it
all news, commercials, everything.

1219
01:36:45,261 --> 01:36:47,355
"Gone with the Wind"
clings tightly to the book.

1220
01:36:47,863 --> 01:36:53,006
- I want to say that Vivien Leigh is the best
the best actress I've ever seen.

1221
01:36:53,474 --> 01:36:56,986
Do not shorten the movie,
cut everything else out of it.

1222
01:36:57,333 --> 01:36:59,815
I would like to thank you,
what you gave us in Riverside,

1223
01:37:00,015 --> 01:37:01,680
the privilege of seeing him first.

1224
01:37:01,866 --> 01:37:05,265
They should look at it
all adult men and women.

1225
01:37:08,618 --> 01:37:11,689
Three years ago when Selznick was preparing
to record "Gone with the Wind",

1226
01:37:11,883 --> 01:37:14,140
he promised that it would be
the best movie ever made.

1227
01:37:14,587 --> 01:37:16,639
<i>After three years his work is done.</i>

1228
01:37:16,808 --> 01:37:20,417
<i>Those who have seen the film agree that it is
one of the best movies ever made.</i>

1229
01:37:20,850 --> 01:37:22,684
<i>The reason why you
I'm talking about the size of this movie,</i>

1230
01:37:23,014 --> 01:37:27,918
<i>is that 3 million dollars were spent on it
Which is too much for shooting one movie.</i>

1231
01:37:28,155 --> 01:37:30,258
<i>to justify
his great expenses,</i>

1232
01:37:30,259 --> 01:37:31,259
<i>"Gone with the Wind" will have to
is shown in every city in the world.</i>

1233
01:37:33,360 --> 01:37:35,275
<i>otherwise it will experience huge
financial loss,</i>

1234
01:37:35,442 --> 01:37:40,275
And it will be proof that it should not
to risk so much for one film.</i>

1235
01:37:44,566 --> 01:37:48,119
Despite the successful trial projection,
Selznick continued to improve the film,

1236
01:37:48,464 --> 01:37:49,946
He even added scenes to it.

1237
01:37:50,884 --> 01:37:53,500
Vivien Leigh was invited back to
America for reshoots.

1238
01:37:58,579 --> 01:38:00,592
Her mother recorded it
this recording,

1239
01:38:00,801 --> 01:38:04,557
while filming the fifth,
final version of the opening scene.

1240
01:38:05,711 --> 01:38:07,917
That was just a month ago
of the scheduled date of the test screening.

1241
01:38:08,042 --> 01:38:09,456
Now there was a new panic.

1242
01:38:10,209 --> 01:38:13,785
The music was,
in the opinion of Mr. Selznick,

1243
01:38:14,325 --> 01:38:17,595
one of the main stars of this film.

1244
01:38:18,506 --> 01:38:22,010
But he made a mistake
and he did not prepare it earlier.

1245
01:38:22,384 --> 01:38:24,847
He wanted Max Steiner and I think
that we should have waited for him.

1246
01:38:25,830 --> 01:38:28,803
It was crazy, try it
at the last minute,

1247
01:38:29,196 --> 01:38:32,756
because it's a movie
it took 3 hours of music.

1248
01:38:33,458 --> 01:38:36,112
"Steiner told us yes again
it cannot end on that date."

1249
01:38:37,129 --> 01:38:39,741
The reason we keep going
with him, is the one I believe

1250
01:38:39,776 --> 01:38:42,907
that his work will be much better
rather than what it sounded like in a few parts.

1251
01:38:44,283 --> 01:38:48,119
Afraid that Steiner would not succeed,
Selznick hired two more composers,

1252
01:38:48,319 --> 01:38:51,573
to support him. Franz
Waxman and Herbert Stawford.

1253
01:38:52,872 --> 01:38:55,703
"Stawford seems to have been drinking
a couple of drinks on a Sunday night,

1254
01:38:55,942 --> 01:38:57,457
he talked a lot of nonsense as he said,

1255
01:38:57,658 --> 01:39:00,179
have a lot of work to do
remaking Max's work."

1256
01:39:01,144 --> 01:39:04,359
"There is news within 10 minutes
reached Max, and he was furious."

1257
01:39:05,403 --> 01:39:07,509
"Max immediately went to
city, and as a result,

1258
01:39:07,809 --> 01:39:10,905
the next day we had music for
more than half of the film.

1259
01:39:17,693 --> 01:39:19,781
Max Steiner was Selznick's veteran,

1260
01:39:20,255 --> 01:39:23,451
He did "Bird of Paradise" for him,
"King Kong" and "Ba�tu Allah".

1261
01:39:24,722 --> 01:39:27,180
He also composed
for "Jezebel" for Warners.

1262
01:39:27,381 --> 01:39:30,493
So he was well prepared
for southern music.

1263
01:39:31,065 --> 01:39:33,222
He put a lot into "Vihor".

1264
01:39:44,789 --> 01:39:47,845
The premiere in Atlanta was
moved to December 15.

1265
01:39:48,445 --> 01:39:52,011
But Hal Kern literally had to
to take the film out of Selznick's hands.

1266
01:39:52,253 --> 01:39:55,414
to take it to the laboratory,
where he worked 20 hours a day,

1267
01:39:55,596 --> 01:40:00,285
monitoring color balancing
by Menzies' careful design.

1268
01:40:01,332 --> 01:40:04,888
"Silhouette view where Ashley
and Melanie watch the barbecue,

1269
01:40:05,176 --> 01:40:07,856
they come out into the sun in the background in cheerful costumes."

1270
01:40:08,362 --> 01:40:12,545
"As a contrast, the next time we see
12 The place of an oak is a ruin,

1271
01:40:12,746 --> 01:40:14,665
in the blue gray of dawn."

1272
01:40:16,873 --> 01:40:18,456
"The effect we used for
mother's death scene,

1273
01:40:18,664 --> 01:40:20,919
we used warm light
all the way down on the screen."

1274
01:40:21,369 --> 01:40:24,267
"Deep black and blue
light over a dead face."

1275
01:40:25,064 --> 01:40:26,891
"Preparation of lights and other things
color helped us

1276
01:40:27,091 --> 01:40:29,641
to get a strong assembly
angles and movements."

1277
01:40:33,607 --> 01:40:36,758
"The coming of dawn dramatized
the effects of devastation and destruction."

1278
01:40:37,267 --> 01:40:42,019
"I'm not alone until the weapons are painted black,
but both the ground and the grass are darkened."

1279
01:40:42,524 --> 01:40:45,116
"No attempt was made to "It was blown away
with the wind" makes it beautiful.!

1280
01:40:45,528 --> 01:40:48,921
"Unpleasant colors had to appear
the drama in which they were used."

1281
01:40:49,882 --> 01:40:54,825
"Red sky and indigo backgrounds are
used for an unhappy atmosphere."

1282
01:40:56,034 --> 01:41:00,155
"There are colors for different times of the day
studied more than ever."

1283
01:41:01,860 --> 01:41:04,216
Even now that the film is in the lab,

1284
01:41:04,767 --> 01:41:07,210
there was another cursed one
battle to take place.

1285
01:41:07,729 --> 01:41:12,096
Thousands of hands would like to
they carry a commercial for this movie,

1286
01:41:12,256 --> 01:41:14,026
but it won't.

1287
01:41:14,889 --> 01:41:17,854
Others would like to give this one
have a great party,

1288
01:41:17,966 --> 01:41:21,333
brought under artificial influence.

1289
01:41:22,204 --> 01:41:24,927
And you will not allow that.

1290
01:41:25,705 --> 01:41:27,667
Will Hays was a Hollywood censor.

1291
01:41:28,035 --> 01:41:31,747
And under it, the ranking office
of films hosted by Joe Breen.

1292
01:41:32,486 --> 01:41:37,445
We have to pay attention to scenes or dialogues
which will probably be in the movies.

1293
01:41:38,097 --> 01:41:41,354
Responsible people of this industry,
they don't want movies like that,

1294
01:41:41,535 --> 01:41:43,508
and will not allow such
to be displayed.

1295
01:41:47,034 --> 01:41:49,717
Dear Mr. Hays final sentence
in "Gone with the Wind",

1296
01:41:50,313 --> 01:41:55,129
one piece of dialogue that forever establishes
the relationship between Scarlett and Rhett is:

1297
01:41:55,819 --> 01:41:58,067
"Honestly, my dear,
I don't give a damn."

1298
01:41:58,851 --> 01:42:01,729
"Joe Breen can't give it to me
permission to use that sentence,

1299
01:42:01,929 --> 01:42:03,616
because it contains the word: "Damn".

1300
01:42:04,170 --> 01:42:08,193
"My view is that this decision is not made
used in the film in the context of profanity."

1301
01:42:08,734 --> 01:42:12,114
"The only thing that can be attributed to her
that it is vulgarity."

1302
01:42:12,410 --> 01:42:15,315
"And that's how it was described in
Oxford English Dictionary."

1303
01:42:15,843 --> 01:42:18,020
Honestly, my dear,
"I don't care."

1304
01:42:19,140 --> 01:42:21,815
Selznick tried more
replacement, but none of them fit,

1305
01:42:21,894 --> 01:42:23,455
the original text of the book.

1306
01:42:23,887 --> 01:42:27,389
He cited as support
Hollywood's biggest bud,

1307
01:42:27,747 --> 01:42:30,038
only after
hard and long battles,

1308
01:42:30,238 --> 01:42:32,879
he got permission to use that word.

1309
01:42:35,966 --> 01:42:37,967
December 11, 1939

1310
01:42:38,646 --> 01:42:39,643
For K. Brown.

1311
01:42:40,803 --> 01:42:42,697
I just finished
"Gone with the Wind".

1312
01:42:42,829 --> 01:42:45,175
God bless us all.

1313
01:42:50,658 --> 01:42:52,267
Altanta was very excited,

1314
01:42:52,787 --> 01:42:54,020
she was elected

1315
01:42:54,605 --> 01:42:57,677
to be a place where "It blew away
with a whirlwind" to be shown for the first time.

1316
01:42:58,263 --> 01:43:01,592
He was poor, still
always a provincial small town.

1317
01:43:02,230 --> 01:43:03,576
And, I think that,

1318
01:43:03,943 --> 01:43:07,663
"Gone with the Wind" gave himself and Atlanta,

1319
01:43:08,493 --> 01:43:12,360
a pride she didn't have for a long time,

1320
01:43:12,705 --> 01:43:16,736
who struggled to maintain her pride.

1321
01:43:17,238 --> 01:43:19,389
But "Gone with the Wind"
kept proud.

1322
01:43:28,785 --> 01:43:33,269
Glorious Days in Dixie. Ju�nja�ko
hospitality is at a fever pitch.

1323
01:43:33,940 --> 01:43:36,962
Distinguished visitors led
David Selznick,

1324
01:43:37,230 --> 01:43:40,459
and stars Olivia de
Haviland and Vivien Leigh,

1325
01:43:40,861 --> 01:43:42,887
which came with two
direct flights.

1326
01:43:50,314 --> 01:43:53,204
That's Clark Gable,
he came from the coast.

1327
01:43:53,435 --> 01:43:57,220
Charming Carole Lombard with her husband
they receive a great welcome

1328
01:43:58,827 --> 01:44:01,430
After that, all of Atlanta
turned up to see the big parade,

1329
01:44:01,606 --> 01:44:04,294
which starts the celebration
of 3 whole days.

1330
01:44:06,297 --> 01:44:10,901
They are set to
standing in a convertible,

1331
01:44:11,387 --> 01:44:12,889
they drove down the main street,

1332
01:44:13,189 --> 01:44:17,054
there was dancing in the streets.
There were balloons, posters...

1333
01:44:18,049 --> 01:44:21,788
It wasn't just people from Atlanta,
some came from afar.

1334
01:44:22,481 --> 01:44:27,708
the newspapers on that day were completely in
to the movie "Gone with the Wind".

1335
01:44:31,475 --> 01:44:35,917
"I present to you a man
which in the opinion of the public,

1336
01:44:36,429 --> 01:44:41,300
from beginning to end
and always will be,

1337
01:44:41,541 --> 01:44:42,575
"Rhett Butler",

1338
01:44:42,776 --> 01:44:44,237
who now owns Atlanta,

1339
01:44:44,523 --> 01:44:46,431
Mr. Clark Gable!

1340
01:44:50,673 --> 01:44:52,457
- Thank you Ladies and Gentlemen,

1341
01:44:54,696 --> 01:44:56,581
you know...

1342
01:44:57,481 --> 01:44:59,699
when I came
here tonight

1343
01:45:01,477 --> 01:45:06,371
a man told me
that the population of Atlanta,

1344
01:45:06,940 --> 01:45:08,794
it has 300,000 people.

1345
01:45:09,585 --> 01:45:12,870
I saw it tonight
coming from the airport,

1346
01:45:13,303 --> 01:45:14,535
3 million people!"

1347
01:45:16,775 --> 01:45:20,269
"I spent a lot of time on
shooting this film during the year,

1348
01:45:20,692 --> 01:45:24,046
and now that I'm here I feel it
as if I had returned home."

1349
01:45:24,929 --> 01:45:28,511
"I feel yes, even if I don't have it
exciting day to the end of life,

1350
01:45:28,902 --> 01:45:30,614
I must not protest because I have this day."

1351
01:45:31,114 --> 01:45:35,651
"You are all wonderful people and so am I
very proud of her hometown."

1352
01:45:35,852 --> 01:45:36,798
"Thank you."

1353
01:45:41,332 --> 01:45:42,723
"Ladies and Gentlemen,

1354
01:45:42,960 --> 01:45:45,801
we entered Atlanta humble,

1355
01:45:46,597 --> 01:45:48,243
we remain grateful."

1356
01:45:48,888 --> 01:45:54,147
"We hope that this city will
appreciate our efforts. Thank you."

1357
01:45:55,931 --> 01:45:59,037
<i>The flower of the South is gathering
at the Junior League Ball.</i>

1358
01:45:59,245 --> 01:46:01,215
<i>Socially prominent salvo.</i>

1359
01:46:01,422 --> 01:46:04,065
The South was the theme in
"Gone with the Wind".

1360
01:46:04,872 --> 01:46:07,489
That ruined everything for them,
they could survive it.

1361
01:46:07,822 --> 01:46:10,992
They still suffered because of the Civil War,

1362
01:46:11,298 --> 01:46:14,298
and they were very possessive about this movie.

1363
01:46:15,431 --> 01:46:18,360
David may have thought so
is his, but Atlanta is not.

1364
01:46:18,598 --> 01:46:23,877
They knew it was theirs,
and they knew it would be successful.

1365
01:46:24,144 --> 01:46:27,073
<i>It is a copy of O. Harina's house
illuminated by spotlights</i>

1366
01:46:27,274 --> 01:46:30,495
While 2,000 retreated
guests attend the premiere.</i>

1367
01:46:31,494 --> 01:46:34,106
<i>Atlanita's few
the remaining young men from the war,</i>

1368
01:46:34,306 --> 01:46:35,440
<i>are guests of honor.</i>

1369
01:46:39,559 --> 01:46:41,476
<i>This must be the night of all nights for Miss Leigh</i>

1370
01:46:41,886 --> 01:46:45,440
<i>The English girl who captured her own
Dixie, with its Lawrence Olivier.</i>

1371
01:46:46,822 --> 01:46:48,647
<i>I just can't get enough of Gable.</i>

1372
01:46:49,199 --> 01:46:51,056
<i>And Clark is usually modest.</i>

1373
01:46:51,273 --> 01:46:54,810
"This is the night� M. Mitchell and
citizens of Atlanta."

1374
01:46:55,351 --> 01:46:57,101
"Please allow me to
I watch "Gone with the Wind",

1375
01:46:57,269 --> 01:46:58,882
as a spectator. Thank you."

1376
01:46:59,236 --> 01:47:03,155
The late Margaret Mitchell author
which rarely appears in public.</i>

1377
01:47:03,360 --> 01:47:05,120
<i>is present to see
your package. </i>

1378
01:47:05,321 --> 01:47:07,409
<i>and she is indescribably excited.</i>

1379
01:47:07,879 --> 01:47:10,737
"This is a very happy day for me,

1380
01:47:10,921 --> 01:47:16,660
and I want to thank everyone in Atlanta,
"They were so good to me."

1381
01:47:16,861 --> 01:47:17,500
"Thank you."

1382
01:47:21,132 --> 01:47:23,699
<i>Mr. David Fr. Selznick!</i>

1383
01:47:31,609 --> 01:47:34,913
Yes Atlanta who is the last judge,
and proof that our effort,

1384
01:47:35,192 --> 01:47:37,030
that this work was not in vain."

1385
01:47:42,221 --> 01:47:45,535
David Selznick received a telegram
that night by George Cukor.

1386
01:47:46,602 --> 01:47:50,275
<i>I don't know if I should be
imagined, noble or funny.</i>

1387
01:47:51,388 --> 01:47:53,532
<i>But I really send you everything
your love tonight.</i>

1388
01:48:08,765 --> 01:48:11,638
I remember Irene Selznick
how they pay there.

1389
01:48:12,482 --> 01:48:15,195
I remember myself crying.

1390
01:48:15,903 --> 01:48:17,666
We worked so hard on it,

1391
01:48:18,027 --> 01:48:22,463
it was impossible to say
how we felt then.

1392
01:48:22,777 --> 01:48:24,346
The feelings were very complex.

1393
01:48:24,779 --> 01:48:26,664
There was a break and it was time.

1394
01:48:27,525 --> 01:48:30,517
Nobody was breathing or moving for a minute.

1395
01:48:30,740 --> 01:48:33,059
and when they moved everything
it was like slow motion,

1396
01:48:33,159 --> 01:48:35,811
everyone was overwhelmed by it
fantastic experience.

1397
01:48:38,206 --> 01:48:42,246
I felt like never before
I didn't watch a single movie then,

1398
01:48:42,446 --> 01:48:43,980
and that I wasn't half-hearted anymore
not one since.

1399
01:48:54,692 --> 01:48:55,890
When it was all over,

1400
01:48:56,291 --> 01:48:57,715
Margaret Mitchell stood up,

1401
01:48:57,899 --> 01:49:00,826
and for the first time
spoke publicly about the film.

1402
01:49:01,649 --> 01:49:04,687
<i>If you all can give me
you understand, this movie was</i>

1403
01:49:05,187 --> 01:49:07,477
<i> a great emotional experience for me,</i>

1404
01:49:07,997 --> 01:49:12,722
<i>I think they are breaking her heart� and I know that
I'm not the only one with a soaked tissue.</i>

1405
01:49:14,316 --> 01:49:17,404
<i>But I just want something
I'm talking about Mr. David Selznick.</i>

1406
01:49:18,523 --> 01:49:22,038
<i>He is a man about whom
all of you were making jokes,</i>

1407
01:49:22,533 --> 01:49:25,766
<i>"Let's hope Shirley Temple doesn't."
grows up, she'll play Scarlett."</i>

1408
01:49:27,666 --> 01:49:32,422
I want to thank Mr. Selznick for his
courage, stubbornness and determination

1409
01:49:33,718 --> 01:49:37,972
<i>�it's just �he's silent, until he's not
chose the team he wanted </i>

1410
01:49:38,432 --> 01:49:40,199
<i>despite everything everyone said.</i>

1411
01:49:40,822 --> 01:49:44,454
<i>I think you will all agree with me
that he chose the actors perfectly.</i>

1412
01:49:47,915 --> 01:49:50,504
Christmas in 1939 was unreal.

1413
01:49:50,909 --> 01:49:54,790
Premieres in New York and Hollywood,
party after party.

1414
01:50:02,529 --> 01:50:05,302
It was January night in 1940.

1415
01:50:05,615 --> 01:50:08,629
Oscar night at the Ambassador Hotel.

1416
01:50:09,292 --> 01:50:12,020
It was the last big one
entertainment related to the movie.

1417
01:50:12,802 --> 01:50:14,220
By then it was a real hit.

1418
01:50:14,615 --> 01:50:16,554
Awards for the best.

1419
01:50:17,251 --> 01:50:20,843
Now let's get down to business,
awards for 1939.

1420
01:50:21,756 --> 01:50:23,421
First prizes for technique.

1421
01:50:24,233 --> 01:50:27,720
Menzies for choosing the fantastic ones
color in "Gone with the Wind".

1422
01:50:27,973 --> 01:50:30,822
Hal C. Kern and James E. Newcom for
editing of the film "Gone with the Wind".

1423
01:50:31,384 --> 01:50:35,121
For artistic photography to Ernest Haller and
Red to Renahan, "Gone with the Wind."

1424
01:50:35,547 --> 01:50:37,739
Lyle Wheeler for artist
directed by "Gone with the Wind".

1425
01:50:38,066 --> 01:50:40,895
I think this is a wonderful thing
which sits Mr. Selznick.

1426
01:50:41,195 --> 01:50:42,253
I want to tell you...

1427
01:50:45,557 --> 01:50:50,118
And the famous author Sinclair Louis will award
Oscar for the best film adaptation.

1428
01:50:50,796 --> 01:50:54,996
"Gone with the Wind"
screenplay by Sidney Howard.

1429
01:50:59,969 --> 01:51:01,665
"For the best director of 1939."

1430
01:51:01,667 --> 01:51:04,675
"Marvin Malloy delivers
award to Victor Flemming."

1431
01:51:06,353 --> 01:51:11,212
I can't accept this without leaving
tribute to those responsible for the film's success.

1432
01:51:12,039 --> 01:51:15,407
To the team behind the cameras
I am deeply grateful,

1433
01:51:15,767 --> 01:51:16,551
Thank you.

1434
01:51:18,092 --> 01:51:22,736
Award for Best Supporting Actor
actress, taught by Fay Bainter.

1435
01:51:23,599 --> 01:51:28,983
Award for the best
female supporting role,

1436
01:51:29,018 --> 01:51:32,415
for 1939 Hattie McDaniel.

1437
01:51:45,515 --> 01:51:50,684
Academy of Film Arts
friends from the film industry,

1438
01:51:50,878 --> 01:51:51,852
in distinguished guests.

1439
01:51:51,962 --> 01:51:54,376
This is one of the happiest
moments in my life.

1440
01:51:54,841 --> 01:51:59,319
I want to thank all of you
that you chose me as an award,

1441
01:51:59,972 --> 01:52:03,438
on your goodness, which
makes me very humble.

1442
01:52:03,782 --> 01:52:08,110
And I will always consider that as a guide for
everything I will do in the future.

1443
01:52:09,231 --> 01:52:13,228
I sincerely hope that they will
always be a role model for my race,

1444
01:52:13,517 --> 01:52:15,079
and the film industry.

1445
01:52:15,751 --> 01:52:18,647
My heart is too full to be able to
to tell you how I feel.

1446
01:52:19,262 --> 01:52:20,576
And may I say: Thank you.

1447
01:52:20,877 --> 01:52:21,976
God bless you.

1448
01:52:23,954 --> 01:52:27,319
Oscar for best actress
It will be delivered by Spencer Tracy.

1449
01:52:28,698 --> 01:52:31,034
Should I say that it is
this is a privilege

1450
01:52:31,450 --> 01:52:32,578
and honour.

1451
01:52:34,166 --> 01:52:37,483
To declare this winner.
Miss Vivien Leigh.

1452
01:52:46,608 --> 01:52:51,488
Ladies and gentlemen, please excuse me
if my words are wrong,

1453
01:52:52,032 --> 01:52:54,431
in gratitude for your great kindness.

1454
01:52:55,495 --> 01:52:57,107
When should I?
I point to all those

1455
01:52:57,289 --> 01:53:00,338
who showed me generosity
through "Gone with the Wind".

1456
01:53:01,385 --> 01:53:03,657
I should be entertaining you

1457
01:53:03,958 --> 01:53:06,245
how long is the movie itself
"Gone with the Wind".

1458
01:53:07,827 --> 01:53:11,867
And if I can, I would like to dedicate
my thanks on this occasion,

1459
01:53:12,847 --> 01:53:17,705
to that complex figure of energy,
courage and great kindness.

1460
01:53:18,534 --> 01:53:20,844
in which all parts of the film
"Gone with the wind", they find.

1461
01:53:21,045 --> 01:53:22,211
To Mr. David Selznick.

1462
01:53:26,084 --> 01:53:28,461
And David Selznick got it
2 Oscars tonight,

1463
01:53:28,781 --> 01:53:31,528
The first prize for constant achievements.

1464
01:53:32,001 --> 01:53:33,768
And the second one for the best film.

1465
01:53:34,547 --> 01:53:37,581
The movie sometimes doesn't
continuity, as he said.

1466
01:53:38,266 --> 01:53:40,235
Probably because he wanted to remake it.

1467
01:53:40,579 --> 01:53:41,814
But he didn't have time.

1468
01:53:44,791 --> 01:53:46,849
No film has won so many Oscars.

1469
01:53:47,874 --> 01:53:50,078
Neither sold that well.

1470
01:53:51,271 --> 01:53:53,738
Worldwide, including major re-issues,

1471
01:53:54,383 --> 01:53:58,594
Selznick's grandfather is present
dollars, earned about 800 million.

1472
01:53:58,814 --> 01:54:02,357
This means that he earned more than
2 billion from ticket sales,

1473
01:54:02,595 --> 01:54:04,806
and he had until now
the largest number of viewers,

1474
01:54:05,127 --> 01:54:06,654
from any movie
ever recorded.

1475
01:54:07,049 --> 01:54:09,393
It never existed
such brilliance in Hollywood.

1476
01:54:09,780 --> 01:54:12,083
And maybe it never will be
success like this one.

1477
01:54:12,247 --> 01:54:14,129
"Gone with the Wind" is the highlight

1478
01:54:14,322 --> 01:54:17,466
in that great passionate
art, and business,

1479
01:54:17,786 --> 01:54:19,105
which we call movies.

1480
01:54:24,384 --> 01:54:25,493
Years later...

1481
01:54:26,125 --> 01:54:28,085
Selznick talks about a difficult choice,

1482
01:54:28,259 --> 01:54:31,004
whose great success condemned him.

1483
01:54:31,802 --> 01:54:35,636
That was the "grand prize" and
it doesn't matter what movies the kancije made,

1484
01:54:36,084 --> 01:54:39,292
they were always compared and
rated as less valuable,

1485
01:54:39,293 --> 01:54:40,917
from "Gone with the Wind".

1486
01:54:41,519 --> 01:54:46,333
By 1944, David Selznick was
gambled and lost too often.

1487
01:54:46,965 --> 01:54:50,923
Bad business judgment caused that
sold the rights to "Gone with the Wind".

1488
01:54:51,461 --> 01:54:55,314
Although he carried in himself
some of the attrition since 1939.

1489
01:54:55,879 --> 01:55:00,366
never ceased to be,
arrogant, delusional, crazy dreamer.

1490
01:55:01,086 --> 01:55:02,925
Full of ideas and hopes.

1491
01:55:04,202 --> 01:55:06,268
Legends pass their prime,

1492
01:55:06,917 --> 01:55:09,052
but it never changes
a legend for all of us.

1493
01:55:09,887 --> 01:55:13,792
1961. David Selznick, Vivien Leigh
and Olivia de Havilland, are

1494
01:55:14,347 --> 01:55:15,882
went to Atlanta again.

1495
01:55:16,555 --> 01:55:18,386
It was the centenary
Civil war.

1496
01:55:19,036 --> 01:55:21,923
They were happy and sad in Atlanta,

1497
01:55:22,082 --> 01:55:24,859
They couldn't help but notice
how old they are

1498
01:55:25,144 --> 01:55:26,805
and how long the film remained.

1499
01:55:28,123 --> 01:55:29,575
They were the last survivors.

1500
01:55:30,679 --> 01:55:33,853
Leslie Howard is lost
1943 in a plane crash.

1501
01:55:34,421 --> 01:55:36,485
While on a secret mission
for the British Government.

1502
01:55:37,011 --> 01:55:40,721
Margaret Mitchell never did
wrote another book, and died in 1949.

1503
01:55:41,162 --> 01:55:43,379
He hit the car while he was
crossing the street in Atlanta.

1504
01:55:44,324 --> 01:55:48,478
Clark Gable had a fatal heart attack in 1960.
especially when he was finishing "The Misfits".

1505
01:55:50,341 --> 01:55:53,884
David Selznick will die in 1965,

1506
01:55:53,885 --> 01:55:56,379
and Vivien Leigh two years later.

1507
01:55:57,993 --> 01:56:00,742
And the movie? Is it a big movie?

1508
01:56:01,540 --> 01:56:03,502
The carpenters judge the size
in the movies, therefore,

1509
01:56:03,603 --> 01:56:04,740
could it be a work of art,

1510
01:56:04,999 --> 01:56:08,114
where "Gone with the Wind"
known to be a big show.

1511
01:56:08,514 --> 01:56:11,402
but he did not deceive the readers of the book.

1512
01:56:12,082 --> 01:56:15,955
It's a movie driven by two
very emotional, ambitious personalities,

1513
01:56:16,465 --> 01:56:18,873
David Fr. Selznick and Vivien Leigh.

1514
01:56:19,219 --> 01:56:21,875
In a way, these two are married.

1515
01:56:22,111 --> 01:56:24,172
In the character of Scarlett o Hare.

1516
01:56:27,645 --> 01:56:30,152
In it the legend lives on,

1517
01:56:30,353 --> 01:56:32,237
in that tortured, dark woman,

1518
01:56:32,356 --> 01:56:35,471
Beautiful, beloved and yet terrible,

1519
01:56:35,844 --> 01:56:37,068
in his selfishness,

1520
01:56:37,573 --> 01:56:39,695
of joy and strength.

1521
01:56:39,696 --> 01:56:42,675
- I can't let him go
to go! I can't!

1522
01:56:43,500 --> 01:56:45,756
- There must be
way to get it back.

1523
01:56:49,063 --> 01:56:52,354
- But now I can't think
to that. Otherwise I'll go crazy.

1524
01:56:53,874 --> 01:56:55,441
- I'll think about that tomorrow!

1525
01:56:59,478 --> 01:57:03,202
Dreams and disappointments
are also universal,

1526
01:57:03,403 --> 01:57:07,586
that the audience hopes that
He will still find a way.

1527
01:57:08,163 --> 01:57:09,940
to bring back the man he loves.

1528
01:57:09,941 --> 01:57:14,149
- But I have to think! I have to!

1529
01:57:16,672 --> 01:57:21,047
What should I do?!
Nothing matters anymore!

1530
01:57:23,259 --> 01:57:24,495
What is it that is important?

1531
01:57:24,496 --> 01:57:25,523
<i>He wants to say, Katie...</i>

1532
01:57:25,724 --> 01:57:28,156
After all, for that
fought, and lost...

1533
01:57:28,687 --> 01:57:31,026
After disappointment and rejection,

1534
01:57:31,221 --> 01:57:32,401
and humiliation,

1535
01:57:33,366 --> 01:57:35,414
David Selznick is not
could leave it like that.

1536
01:57:36,231 --> 01:57:37,711
He had to find an answer.

1537
01:57:38,232 --> 01:57:41,784
Suitable for your Scarlett,
devoted to Margaret MItchell

1538
01:57:42,507 --> 01:57:46,030
And one who extended his hand
the broken world of 1939

1539
01:57:47,422 --> 01:57:49,072
And behind that answer,

1540
01:57:49,659 --> 01:57:52,916
a finish befitting a gambler,

1541
01:57:53,284 --> 01:57:54,627
romance.

1542
01:57:55,015 --> 01:57:56,297
And optimists,

1543
01:57:56,683 --> 01:57:57,752
in himself.

1544
01:58:00,413 --> 01:58:01,374
- Tara!

1545
01:58:03,286 --> 01:58:06,403
- Home! I'm going home!

1546
01:58:07,969 --> 01:58:10,092
- I'll find a way to get him back.

1547
01:58:11,114 --> 01:58:15,506
- After all, tomorrow is a new day!
