The film has some of the most unforgettable images in American cinema of any period. Max Steiner's handling of the music was inspired.

In a scene that still chokes me up, Steiner uses "Dixie" in a minor key, "Taps," "The Old Folks at Home" with a minor key cadence, and finishes with "Taps" as the whole horror unfolds as far as the eyes can see.

"Gone With the Wind" (The Hospital at the Atlanta Rail Yard)

The Atlanta Railyard scene w/ Scarlet picking her way across the injured soldiers is a most compelling cinematic scene ....

.....and if you look closely, you'll see some of the injured are actually mannequins interspersed w/ real actors b/c the production needed to save money.
