CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS AND THE CINEMA 3. G.B.
I enjoyed the book Gone with the Wind a great deal so that when the film version of this book was produced I went with my parents to see it.
This film took three years to make and over a million dollars was spent on it. It was photographed in technicolour and played for three hours. Vivian Leigh acted remarkably well in the character of Scarlett O'Hara. Clark Gable also was just as I had imagined Rhett Butler to look and act like. I enjoy Leslie Howard's acting, but somehow he rather spoilt the picture in my mind of how Ashley Wilkes should be. Best of all I liked Olivia de Haviland as Melanie, she seemed to live in the part of the sweet and gentle cousin of Ashley.
The story is how Scarlett falls in love with Ashley who is to marry his cousin Melanie, as he is interested in arts and books and Scarlett whom he also loves, loves to have great balls and dances and they would clash if they were to marry. Then comes the war between the North and South Americans. The engagement party of Ashley and Melanie is broken up and Scarlett marries a young man, a cousin of Melanie named Wilkes. Both Wilkes and Ashley go off to the war. Wilkes is killed leaving Scarlett a young widow. I was very excited in the scene where Rhett and Scarlett are fleeing in a wagon from the town which the enemy has captured and set fire to, the technicolour of the burning buildings was simply glorious.
The story goes on to tell how Scarlett finds her mother dead on her return and her father crazy. The house and grounds are the background of the film and at the end of the film when she had married Rhett and he was leaving her, they showed you Scarlett thinking of her home Tara, and although her husband has left her, she still has Tara the home she loves to return to.
I thought it was rather a pity that they did not give the mother of Scarlett a larger part in the film as I liked the character in the book.
4. M.T.
When I am asked which film I consider is my favourite I immediately think of Jane Eyre. I have not seen it lately but all the story sticks in my mind far more than the majority of films.
Many of my friends say the film was far better than the book but
