Gone With The Wind is often considered the most beloved, enduring
and popular film of all time. Sidney Howard's script was derived from
Margaret Mitchell's first and only published, best-selling Civil War
and Reconstruction Period novel of 1,037 pages that first appeared in
1936, but was mostly written in the late 1920s. Producer David O.
Selznick had acquired the film rights to Mitchell's novel in July,
1936 for $50,000 - a record amount at the time to an unknown author
for her first novel, causing some to label the film Selznick's Folly.
At the time of the film's release, the fictional book had surpassed 1.5
million copies sold. More records were set when the film was first aired
on television in two parts in late 1976, and controversy arose when it
was restored and released theatrically in 1998.

With three years advance publicity and Hollywood myth-making, three and
one-half hours running time (with one intermission), a gala premiere in
Atlanta on December 15, 1939, highest-grossing film status (eventually
reaching $200 million), and Max Steiner's sweeping musical score, the
exquisitely-photographed, technicolor film was a blockbuster in its own
time. A budgeted investment of over $4 million in production costs was
required - an enormous, record-breaking sum. The film,originally rough-cut
at 6 hours in length, was challenging in its making, due to its controversial
subject matter including rape, drunkenness, moral dissipation and adultery
and its epic qualities, with more than 50 speaking roles and 2,400 extras.
