The filming of the iconic Gone With The Wind is probably more fraught than any other film in the history of the industry.  This book covers not only the infamous search for Scarlett and the ensuing battle for the role among the great Hollywood ladies, but much more: the difference between the stars and their glossy images;  the magnificent manipulation of the publicity machine by Selznick; the endless efforts to get the perfect light for Scarlett’s memorable “As God is my witness…” speech; costuming problems; eighteen different script-writers; five different directors.  Contains previously unpublished photos and interviews with some of the cast of thousands.
