Gone with the Wind
The Fundy Film Society, in celebration of Acadia Cinema Coop’s 100 Years of Stage & Screen (1911–2011), proudly presents the 1939 masterpiece Gone with the Wind. The winner of 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Gone with the Wind tells the story of Scarlett O’Hara and her quest to find true love and independence during the most turbulent years in the Deep South. Part love story and part history lesson, this stunning and quintessential piece of film history is filled with brilliant performances by Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable, Leslie Howard, Olivia De Havilland, Hattie McDaniel, Butterfly McQueen, and many more. Margaret Mitchell’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel was a bestselling, literary phenomenon and went on to become the highest grossing (in today’s dollars) and most widely seen film of all time.
