Gone with the Wind – Four-Disc Collector’s Edition

Gone with the Wind - Four-Disc Collector's Edition David O. Selznick wanted Gone with the Wind to be somehow more than a movie, a film that would broaden the very idea of what a film could be and do and look like. In many respects he got what he worked so hard to achieve in this 1939 epic (and all-time box-office champ in terms of tickets sold), and in some respects he fell far short of the goal. While the first half of this Civil War drama is taut and suspenseful and nostalgic, the second is ramshackle and arbitrary. But there's no question that the film is an enormous achievement in terms of its every resource - art direction, color, sound, cinematography - being pushed to new limits for the greater glory of telling an American story as fully as possible.
