- Film History
This film is superb. I've watched it over and over again. And it's every bit as good as GWTW. I'm sure that David Selznick taught his sons the art of film making and it's obvious. One will only be as good as his teacher. A must for every film buff.

- The Greatest Documentary Ever Created!
This documentary is one of the best making-of documentaries ever produced. The voice re-enactments helped give the documentary details that I heard in only one other documentary but these details were far more interesting. The re-enactment of the first preview of the film was the most stunning. There was even great detail about how the parts of Rhett and Scarlett got cast. The screen tests of Linda Watkins, Frances Dee, Susan Hayward, Joan Bennett, Jean Arthur, Mary Ray, Lana Turner, Vivian Leigh, Paulette Goddard, Margaret Tallichet, and Anita Louise also made the details about the casting more interesting than ever.

- wonderful
This documentary is both cleverly done and very entertaining. We all know how GWTW turned out but the story of how it was made is fascinating. David O. Selznick was nuts--- mad scientist nuts mixed with Motzart nuts and he just about drove everyone involved mad as well but he made a great movie. Can you imagine Erol Flynn as Rhett or Paulette Godard as Scarlet? Although Flynn was only in the running for the role for the blink of an eye Paulette almost got the role but luckily she lacked ambition and something in Selznick just made him keep on looking for a Scarlet until Vivian Leigh came to America.

This is an exciting story and can be enjoyed either before watching GWTW again or on its own.

- Great piece of film
This documentary was liking watching a newsreel of the time and the place where the stars were working and promoting this wonderful piece of work. It's historical and quite memorable of the achievement in the film itself which behind the scenes also had its dramatic twist and turns.
