December 15th 1939: Gone With The Wind premieres
On this day in 1939 the iconic film ‘Gone With The Wind’ premiered in Atlanta, Georgia, in the United States. It is based on Margaret Mitchell’s 1936 novel and starred Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh. The film tells the epic love story of Rhett Butler (Gable) and Scarlett O’Hara (Leigh) and is set to the backdrop of the American Civil War and postwar Reconstruction in the American South. The film was a commercial success and was critically acclaimed, receiving ten Academy Awards. While some still see it as a great love story, the film has been criticized for its depiction of slavery and attitude towards African-Americans, in particular its defense of the white supremacist Ku Klux Klan during Reconstruction.
