 I found this article on tcm.com this article is basically gives the immediate cast. Also Leonard Maltin gave the movie 4 stars .The article gives the over view of the movie. Scarlett Ohara is in love with Ashley Wilkes but is angry by the fact that he’s is going to marry his cousin Melonia.

 

This article has 4 stars, the critics Leonard Maltin is well known. Mr. Maltin has been a critic for many years so his creditability is good when it comes to movies. It is obvious that Gone with the wind is a classic, because I personally read the book while I was in high school so its’clearly evaluated through some institutions.

 

I appreciate great novels followed by great movies because this sets a standard. All the modern day movies is influenced from this film. For example the Note Book, Titanic, etc.
