The “Burning of Atlanta” scene in GWTW was filmed in 1938 at the Culver City 40 acres backlot. The fire cleared out old sets—including the gates from the 1933 King Kong movie to make room for the Atlanta and Tara sets.

From the 1961 Billy Wilder comedy “One, Two, Three”:

Phyllis MacNamara : “She married a Communist? This is gonna be the biggest thing to hit Atlanta since General Sherman threw that little barbecue!”

They finally get Horst Bucholz “to confess” to being an American spy by subjecting him to an off-tune recording of “She wore an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini.”

Had to teach Horst how to talk American to a Southerner,”the Civil War was a draw.”
