Why watch

Starlit Cine editors

• Best for fans of classic romantic epics, adapted from Margaret Mitchell's 1936 novel.
• Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh and Leslie Howard star; directed by Victor Fleming and George Cukor.
• Released in 1939 and about 3 hours 58 minutes long, so split it over two sittings if needed.
