  • Movie Reviews by Beverly Hills includes a 4-Star review for Gone With the Wind with headline “America’s Scarlett Fever” and photo of Gable and Leigh as Rhett and Scarlett. Still, even with the 4-stars the reviewer comments: “Not that the filming of Margaret Mitchell’s novel isn’t stupendous, that it isn’t done with tremendous attention to detail. But it never moves you deeply.” Also from the review: “Vivien Leigh’s performance of the headstrong Scarlett is pictorially effective but it is superficial … Clark Gable’s Rhett Butler is better.” And finally: “But Gone With the Wind, for all that, is a celluloid landmark–and tomorrow’s screen tradition of today.” On the whole the review, including photograph, take up just under one single-page, with another review following it at the very bottom of the third column.
