    Series Statement: Classic documentary
    Content: The Making of a Legend: Gone With the Wind originally aired on Turner Network Television in 1989, but its inventive storytelling style and stimulating visuals make it seem like a far more recent effort. Christopher Plummer narrates the 123-minute film, and almost every moment is flat-out fascinating. With unprecedented access to producer David O' Selznick's voluminous (and idiosyncratic) memos, and recollections from such cast members as Evelyn Keyes, Ann Rutherford, and Butterfly McQueen, this in-depth account takes us step-by-step through each arduous phase of production̶acquiring rights to the novel, composing a workable screenplay, financing, the nationwide search for Scarlett, the "firing" of original director George Cukor, the use of innovative special effects, scoring, editing, director Victor Fleming's breakdown, Selznick's exhaustion, and on and on. Especially interesting are scads of rare screen tests featuring such actresses as Paulette Goddard, Jean Arthur, Joan Bennett, Lana Turner, and a very young spitfire named Edith Marrener (who would soon evolve into Susan Hayward), all auditioning for Scarlett. The film even manages to find and interview someone who attended the first preview of Gone With the Wind! Movie buffs will revel in this meticulous documentary, which answers almost every conceivable question about one of Hollywood's best-loved films. (Digitally Obsessed)
