It's not fair to compare the two, since there isn't much more that could have been added to this release. No additional footage has turned up, we don't know what kind of shape the screen tests are in (since Making of was made in '89), and precious few of the film's actors remain, and only one of...

Yes, this is the old transfer....I knew it as soon as I saw the "Overture" which has the same still picture as the current dvd.

Or how about MY Judy Garland :)

There were two 50th Anniversary pictorial books. I have both of them as well.

I have the boxed set...the only footage is a promo for The Making of A Legend. It runs 10 mins.

Olivia participated in the '98 re-release and did interviews for Entertainment Tonight and such. She was also around in the 1980's when the People's Choice Awards voted GWTW America's all-time favorite movie. She lives in Paris, so that probably has something to do with her not being able to...

I think Vivien's performance is the greatest performance from an actress in film history. The character of Scarlett has so many layers, and Leigh really knew how to work the camera.

The GWTW documentary is the best. I have seen all of the others talked about, but they don't add up to the brilliance of this doc. I even asked for it for my birthday in 1989. I have shown it to friends and they get excited watching it as well.

Gone With the Wind is the definition of Hollywood in every respect, and one of the most entertaining films ever made. For me, the character of Scarlett represents the fire in all of us...and that when things go bad, we just need to toughen up and go after what we want. Sure, she made bad...

Greg, it is doubtful that any deleted scenes have survived, unfortunately. It would be cool to see them though. In addition to those scenes listed above, there were more shots at the Wilkes barbeque (including more scenes of Mammy and the other slaves enjoying their own barbeque) and more of the...

I am so psyched about this...I think this will truly the best the film has ever looked.

I am wondering if maybe they have always been using a '54 negative and claiming "the original Technicolor negative." Maybe the cropped shots only appear on this negative and not the ORIGINAL. I don't understand why only a handful of shots were replaced to begin with and not most of the movie...

The reason there aren't any black bars is because the video technicians vertically pan the screen to avoid them....they are there in the theatrical re-issues, and very noticeable. The two shots with pans into the next scene include the shot of the cows coming down the hill when the slaves are...

On the shot of the depot there is a slight vertical pan into the next scene.

So Brian, those shots you checked, they are matted black at the bottom of the frame?

I think the original negatives were cut up and those shots discarded. :frowning: I thought WB had found a complete 1939 print to use as a guide? If so, they could easily restore the shots digitally, as Robert Harris pointed out. That is, if the technicians working on this disc even know that the...

So I guess there will only be one version of the film. Hopefully, it will look like the '39 prints. And here's hoping the cropped shots are restored to the film.

It would be nice if WB included a full reproduction of the original souvenir program in the boxed set. I remember buying the vhs edition in the '80's and getting a partial repro of the program...it was a nice touch and made me think I had really bought a special package (that along with the...

If you watch the next shots after these scenes, you can see a slight panning downward to compensate (ie. the cattle going down the hill after Scarlett runs down the driveway) It is possible that the shots were cropped further for dvd, so there really is no way to compare on disc.

These are the ones I recall: 1. Shot of Scarlett running down the driveway at the end of the first scene. 2. Shot of slaves returning home from the fields after work. 3. The sign at Twelve Oaks at the beginning of the barbeque. 4. A couple of shots of the wounded soldiers at the...

The "N" word was never uttered in GWTW. Even in 1939, the NAACP was concerned about this issue, and the word was very specifically not included in the scripts or the film.

I really hope that the shots that were recomposed for widescreen can be found and re-inserted. Also, I hope that we can finally hear the entire soundtrack. (See previous threads for details.) This should be magnificent.....Warner: Watch the framing please, especially the top of the frame.
