“He was so handsome.”

I love Clark Gable too. Everyone is really great in GWTW, but to me Olivia DeHaviland makes the movie.

She really makes Melanie a believable character, more than she is in the book.

"GWTW....too corny for me".

I'm happy I'm not so veddy sophisticated that I can't periodically enjoy the grandeur of the greatest film ever made.
