Gone With the Wind - An all-time Classic
When Margaret Mitchell first wrote her book about life in the Southern States of the US as seen through the eyes of the daughter of Irish immigrants both before and after the civil war, little can she have known the world-wide phenomenon that it would become? The book itself became a best-seller but what really drove its popularity in later years was the film of the book, which was released in 1939.
The Plot:
Scarlett O'Hara, an Irish-descended Southern Lady lives in Georgia on a cotton plantation. She is surrounded by many suitors but only has eyes for local man Ashley Wilkes who is already engaged to his cousin; Melanie Hamilton.
