The attitudes don't ruin the movie, however, as they largely stay to the background. Perhaps it's unfair of me to place the attitudes of Wind in that same category, but I must acknowledge that I dislike the reactionary position it presents. Of course, if you could get past the fascism of the Nazis, I'm sure you'd have found Germany in the 1930s to be a pleasant place to live. To summarize, if you can get past the backward politics of Gone with the Wind, you'll find it to be a more enjoyable picture.

When Scarlett loses Ashley she is more certain than ever that she must have him… On their wedding day, she meets Rhett Butler (Clark Gable), a wealthy adventurer from an old Charleston family… Rhett, a gambler-who believes that self-interest is the motive of all human conduct-is attracted by Scarlett’s beauty and realizes that they are equally merciless and conscienceless… Scarlett, the eldest, worships her mother… Yet, under her beauty and Southern coquetry, she is charming, but proud, willful and vain… She believes she is in love with Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard), a good-hearted young army captain… But Ashley loves his cousin, Melanie Hamilton (Olivia de Havilland), a delicate, selfless woman… He is frightened by Scarlett’s energy and animation… And although he admits his feelings for her, he is afraid to marry her and decides to take Melanie for his bride… Gone With The Wind, Gerard O’Hara (Thomas Mitchell), an Irish immigrant, settles in North Georgia and becomes a prosperous plantation owner… By great luck he marries young Ellen Robillard (Barbara O’Neill) of Savannah, the daughter of one of the noblest Georgian families and becomes accepted by his aristocratic neighbors… They are blessed with three daughters, Scarlett (Vivien Leigh), Suellen (Evelyn Keyes), and Carreen (Ann Rutherford). Scarlett does not know he is in the room when she pleads with Ashley to choose her instead of Melanie. There is a new man there that day, the day the Civil War begins. Mammy warns Scarlett to behave herself at the party at Twelve Oaks. But Ashley, the man she has wanted for so long, is going to marry his placid cousin, Melanie. Gone With The Wind, Scarlett is a woman who can deal with a nation at war, Atlanta burning, the Union Army carrying off everything from her beloved Tara, the carpetbaggers who arrive after the war.
