Didn’t Hattie McDaniel say that she refused to portray caricatures of black behavior like eating watermelon? I believe Selznick kept all that nonsense out of his movie.
It was a great movie, and a better book.
I had never been to a movie until I was about 22 (Baptist P.K.). GWTW was playing at one of the theaters in the early ‘70s and I went with my girlfriend from work. It was maybe the second movie I ever saw in a theater. It almost took my breath away.
