“Gone With the Wind” is a cinematic achievement for its time – most cinematic awards received at the time and the first movie ever made completely in color.  This movie should be treated with respect just on these two facts alone, although the book was infinitely better.

“Gone With the Wind” was re-mastered using the latest state of the art techniques.  I just bought the 70th Anniversary edition, and I also own the 65th and the 50th – the latter of which back when there was VHS.  The 70th Anniversary looks WAY better than what I have seen before.  The video is crisp and not fuzzy in any way – almost as if the re-mastering was done TOO well.

I prefer the 65th Anniversary edition on DVD.  This is the best rendition of “Gone With the Wind” in my mind because, while the picture obviously looked sharper than my 50th Anniversary on VHS, it had ummmm…almost like a moving-painting type look to it.  The 70th Anniversary edition…kind of lost that I think.

Overall, “Gone With the Wind” is a genuine movie classic and a bonafide masterpiece of cinema.  Of course, we all know that.
