After all the bitching I did, this year and last, about not seeing this classic on the big screen during its 75th Anniversary, when, along with "The Wizard Of Oz," (which I still have not seen on the screen yet this year or last!!!!!!!!) it was virtually ignored, I got to see "Gone With the Wind"--and with someone I love --at the Film Forum on November 29, 2015.
Would the film hold up? Having seen it more than three dozen times, and, with advancing age, and the demise of revival screenings, I had to face that this might be my last viewing of it, as I refuse to see it anywhere but on the screen.
Well, dolls, it holds up beautifully. I am not sure the audience we saw it with understood it, but it worked its magic on me once again!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And made me yearn for a more gracious way of living!!!!!!! Oh, honeys!!!!!!!!!!!!
