cees t In lieu of figuring out how to add "Gone with the Wind" on here. I'll assume the making of is just as good. Update: Found it, but how to delete this review? Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review s r Great insight into one of the most spectacular movies ever made. Ironic to have Plummer narrate. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member almost as long as the legendary film it profiles Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Il Making of di Via col Vento è come il film: perfetto. E dura come un film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member I own this as a bonus feature on the four and five disc DVD of: * Gone With The Wind (1939) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Okish, and only because of it's subject matter. You would think that the "Making of..." one of the greatest and most epic movies of all time would be incredibly interesting. Well, to movie buffs like me it would, at least. However, this documentary is mostly quite dull. Maybe it is Christopher Plummer's deadpan narration, or the fact that far too much trivial information is included. There is no sense of the art and history that is being made. It's all just too matter-of-fact... Still, great subject matter, and worth watching for that alone. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
