Not Gone with the Wind

Selznick who produced this was sleeping with the leading lady (Ms Jones) and created this hot opus for her. He spent a fortune on the film and after two years created a spectacularly visual film about railroad vs ranchers but that was all a subplot. The real story is about the half-breed Jones and her illicit (church tried to ban the film) affair with the no good son of the boss. Great to look at OK on story but no Gone with the Wind that Selznick made earlier and tried to emulate.
