David O. Selznick's 1939 Civil War epic, adapted from Margaret Mitchell's novel and shot in three-strip Technicolor, follows Scarlett O'Hara through the fall of the antebellum South and Reconstruction. It became the highest-earning film made up to that point and held the domestic box-office record for over a quarter of a century, and was the first color film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. Its sympathetic treatment of the Confederacy and its plantation slaveholders is now widely criticized, and the film is presented today, including by its own distributor, with that history acknowledged rather than endorsed.
