As a child and teenager, it was larger than life. As an adult, it's the biggest soap opera put on film. Mammie still is the best character, IMO, and Scarlett was an idiot for thinking she was in love with a wimp.
Other than that, if you ever watch the screen tests for Scarlett, there is no comparison. Vivian Leigh was hands down the best they auditioned and the role came out as the went along.
And Max Steiner's best theme, IMO, was composed for "Captain Blood."

Mammie still is the best character...Mammy had more common sense than all the white characters put together.

It must be admitted, though, that this movie inadvertently gave us one of the funniest skits to ever be in a variety show. Anyone who's seen that episode of Carol Burnett knows that the curtain rod was still in the drapes when Scarlett made herself the new dress.

She wasn’t in love with him for him, she was in love with him because he wasn’t in love with her. She could have any man she wanted, and yet she wanted the ONE who didn’t love her. And she only loved Rhett after he had enough of her.
