by Aljean Harmetz
Sets, stars, everything about Gone with the Wind was outsize, especially the flaring tempers and financial troubles that threatened to make the 1939 classic the Waterworld of its day. Veteran Hollywood journalist Harmetz leaves out little on her way to the white columns of Tara, and her engrossing account of the frenzied final days of shooting build to a dramatic climax worthy of Scarlett herself.
