Summary
From the movie industry's shock at David O. Selznick's decision to spend $50,000 for the film rights to Margaret Mitchell's bestselling novel to what it took to keep Rhett's famous last line off the cutting room floor, here is a magnificent celebration of the greatest motion picture of all time. Daniel Mayer Selznick's introduction passionately covers his father's obsession with Gone with the Wind, and also his genius, from a very personal perspective. Through many rare photographs, countless original memos and telegrams signed by the key players, and the fascinating inside stories, this book takes a look at a golden moment in movie history. Inside you'll discover: The wardrobe that raised movie costumes to new heights of opulence - and expense ; The passion, the drama, and the unforgettable chemistry as the young actress from England faced the King of Hollywood ; The producer, driven to make an epic in just 122 days - and the price he paid ; The momumental publicity machine that kept America captivated ; Master craftsmanship and special effects that still dazzle the eye ; The spirited first novelist who would never write again - and who hid from the public for the rest of her life. -- from back cover.
