About this episode
The final film from the 1930s is also the biggest movie discussed so far: Gone with the Wind. Starring Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable, Olivia de Havilland, and Hattie McDaniel, this sweeping epic is not without controversy. Depicting a romanticized view of slavery and the American South pre-Civil War, the movie is challenging and uncomfortable while at the same time it contains some of the most complex characters, some of the most dynamic cinematography, and some of the most epic sets and production value of any film up to this point. Andy & Michael Fernandez tackle all of that and much more in their discussion of this movie, ranked #4 and #6 on the two versions of the American Film Institute's list.
