    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Gone with the Wind -- in Blu-ray

    I have seen what you describe before. I saw the 1998 re-release three times in a vain attempt to find a decent print playing somewhere. It was the worst presentation of the film I've ever seen since the terrible 1970s-era slidshod general release prints that were seriously out of registration...

    I bought both the new BluRay and latest standard DVD. The BluRay shows more information on both sides. For the first time on video, there's plenty of breathing room on the sides during the opening cast crawl. The DVD is much closer to the earlier versions in framing, but is slightly improved...

    I don't want to bother Mr. Harris with anything like this since it's so minor as to be silly. But I noticed it four years ago, I noticed it today and I thought you would too! Enough carping. It's perfect -- the framing, the color, the sound. Everything is at it should be. I remember the...

    The 1989 sound mix had several alterations, one of which clearly indicates that the 1989 mix was wrong: In the scene where Scarlett and Rhett are strolling with Baby Bonnie on a windy day, Mrs. Meade's off-camera line of "Good morning, Captain Butler! ... Good morning, Scarlett." went missing...
