To me its a sleazy overdone lovestory...its a typical hollywood turkey...It remindes me of "Titanic" which is allready considered a classic...... by some film critics.....

titanic will never have the staying power of Gone with the Wind.

That movie is still being quoted daily .. (not just the misquoted 'frankly scarlett' line .. but a ton of others)

it was a landmark film, and although some of it seems corny and dated, there is still a lot of sofistication in other parts.

Please dont compare it to that fly-by-night titanic movie ..


(by the way - i'm not even crazy about Gone With The Wind - but i respect its very important place in the history of cinema)
