Passed on to me from my daughter Scarlett. I felt obligated having hung the name and all. A spinoff of the classic Gone With The Wind. Approved by the Margaret Mitchell estate, meaning the family got a cut I suspect. Couldn't have been much of one. Set during the same time period, this is a telling of those events from Rhetts perspective, including the first meeting of Rhett and Scarlett, down to the "frankly my dear" scene. Only good parts for me were the Civil War parts, burning of Atlanta and all that exciting man stuff. No recomendation here.
