My all-time favorite movie/book. (YES - I read the whole book and “Scarlett” when it came out.) Time to watch it again!
Same here. “Scarlet” wasn’t nearly as good as GWTW. (I’ve read GWTW and seen the movie.) It’s one of the few movies that I enjoy watching over and over. Despite her weaknesses, I always admired the character Scarlet. Leigh got the role when she showed up for the filming of the burning of Atlanta scene with her boyfriend Sir Laurence Olivier. And I gasped too the first time I saw Clark Gable as Rhett—I think it was in the early 1970’s. He is timeless....
“Gone with the Wind” is a favorite of mine too. I’ve read it a few times and I’ve watched the movie a few times, too. I also read “Scarlett” and I saw the movie, “Scarlett”, when it was on TV back in the early 90’s, wasn’t it. Last year I read the novel”Rhett Butler’s People” by Donald MCaig. I have to say I think I enjoyed it even more then “Scarlett”, though not as much as “Gone with the Wind”. This third novel tells the story from Rhett’s point of view, which is refreshing. If your a fan of the “Gone with the Wind”, I highly recommend “Rhett Butler’s People”. It’s a shame that Margaret Mitchell didn’t live to write the sequels, c’est la vie.
There is another book out there — it is about Rhetts life growing up, war, meeting Scarlett, etc.
Slow read at the beginning.
