Gone With The Wind Pt. 1 and 12th Academy Awards

The Best Picture breakdown by Worthy hosts, Ben Smith and Jon Roberts, dive into part one of the classic, “Gone With The Wind”. One of Classic Hollywood’s Crown Jewels is an epic tale starring Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable, Hattie McDaniel and Olivia de Havilland. In this episode of Worthy, Ben and Jon thoroughly discuss the glorified racism of the Antebellum South and how crucial it is to view this film through many lenses.

This conversation on the first part of “Gone With The Wind” covers the advancement of Technicolor film, the journey to find Scarlett O’Hara and how the film’s producer David O. Selznick was the true creative force behind the film. Splitting our conversation into two parts was a difficult decision but it felt appropriate due to the popularity and public knowledge of the 1939 Best Picture Winner.
