his is a fantastic oversize book that covers the making of Gone With the Wind, written by the curator at University of Texas where producer David O. Selznick's items related to the film, including costumes, are housed. The photographs in the book are exquisite, with such detail, many of which you have not seen previously. The book described pre-production activities and then goes through the making of the film, month by month - as to what scenes where shot each month. Post-production activities and the Atlanta premiere are also discussed. The book also reproduces many of the memos that Selznick was famous for. These were a bit hard to read because some were fairly small and I did not realize until I got to the back of the book, that they were reproduced there. However, one of the items, Selznick's A list for invitees to premieres was not reproduced and I will need a magnifying glass to go back and review that document. This book is a MUST for any fan of GWTW.… (más)
