Interrogating such dismissals and hailing the film's vast ambition and astonishing production values, Helen Taylor explores its influence on film-makers, popularity with generations of audiences, and impact on everyday language. Arguing that the film, with its disturbing racial politics, set the agenda for more than a century's film representations of slavery and the Civil War, Taylor shows how it has been engaged with and challenged since -- form the mini-series Roots (1977) to 12 Years a Slave (2014). Drawing on new archival material about Vivien Leigh and seventy-five years of scholarship and popular culture references, Taylor makes the case for the film's classic status."--Page [4] of cover Mitchell, Margaret, 1900-1949 Gone with the wind 39281 Lo que el viento se llevó (Película cinematográfica) 26718 Novela histórica estadounidense 27990 BFI film classics 31244 lcc BK dpf 122103 122103 0 0 lcc 0 0 HU BJB BJB HU 2024-09-27 0 PS 3525 T242g 2023 00000177574 2024-09-27 00:00:00 1 2024-09-27 BK
