159. Gone With the Wind - Winter of '39 (#165)

Summary: Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney, The 250 is a fortnightly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes are released Saturdays at 6pm GMT. So this week, Victor Fleming, George Cukor and Sam Wood's Gone With the Wind. A tale of revolution, romance and redemption set against the backdrop of the Civil War, Gone With the Wind remains one of the most sweeping epics ever produced by the studio system. The decades-long love affair between Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler unfolds against the backdrop of the fall and rise of Scarlett's family fortune. At time of recording, it was ranked 165th on the list of the best movie of all time on the Internet Movie Database.
