Celebrate the 75th Anniversary of Gone with the Wind

Catch this classic movie showing at the Colonial.

This Saturday, July 23rd - 2:00pm at The Colonial

Chills! 75 years after its creation, Gone With The Wind is still one of the most heart-wretching, all-engrossing, chill-inducing films of our time (and the book is pretty spectacular as well!). This weekend, bring a friend, loved one, or child and have them experience the wonder that is this American Classic ... I'll limit myself to just a little bit more gushing ...

A true movie milestone–Gone with the Wind was the biggest, most publicized, and best-remembered film of Hollywood’s Golden Age. This is the film that swept the Academy Awards during what has become known as “the movies’ greatest year.” The rocky romance of Rhett Butler and Scarlett O’Hara has, for almost 70 years, held audiences in thrall. As critic Leonard Maltin has said, “If not the greatest movie ever made, Gone With the Wind is certainly one of the greatest examples of story-telling on film.”

Starring Clark Gable, at his most handsome and devil-may-care, as Rhett and Vivien Leigh as the indomitable Scarlett, it also boasts one of the greatest assemblages of supporting players and character actors ever brought to the screen, as well as some of the most magnificent and epic scenes ever filmed. Shown as it was meant to be, on the BIG Colonial screen. Don’t miss it!
