TCM’s trailer is from the 1961 reissue. So I didn’t post it.
The review and accompanying articles are fascinating.
BUMP!
It - as you must be aware - is "Gone With the Wind", the gargantuan Selznick edition of the Margaret Mitchell novel which swept the country like Charlie McCarthy, "The Music Goes 'Round" and similar inexplicable phenomena; which created the national emergency over the selection of a Scarlett O'Hara and which, ultimately, led to the $4,000,000 production that faced the New York public on two Times Square fronts last night, the Astor and the Capitol. It is the picture for which Mr. Gallup's American Institute of Public Opinion has reported a palpitantly waiting audience of 56,500,000 persons, a few of whom may find encouragement in our opinion that they won't be disappointed in Vivian Leigh's Scarlett, Clark Gable's Rhett Butler or, for that matter, in Mr. Selznick's Miss Mitchell.

Anyway "it" has arrived at last, and we cannot get over the shock of not being disappointed; we had almost been looking forward to that.

...Technicolor - although we still feel that color is hard on the eyes for so long a picture.
