- The day of the premiere was a statewide holiday in Georgia. The state’s Governor prepared to call out the National Guard for the event, and the mayor of Atlanta decided that, within the city, the festivities would last three days.
- Hundreds of thousands of people came to watch the stars arrive in Atlanta — in fact, TIME reported, the crowds (an estimated 300,00 fans) were bigger than the combined armies at the Battle of Atlanta in 1864.
- At the time, it was the third most expensive movie ever made. Gone With the Wind cost $3.85 million to make, which was less than only Ben Hur ($4.5 million) and Hell’s Angels ($4 million).
- Producer David O. Selznick bought the film rights to the book without having read it. Kay Brown famously sent Margaret Mitchell’s novel to Selznick with a note urging him to buy it, but TIME reported that when he read the synopsis and saw that it was a Civil War story, he decided against it.

I’ve seen “Gone With the Wind” in four of its major theatrical revivals–1954, 1961, 1967 (the abortive “widescreen” version) and 1989, and now here is the 1998 restoration. It will be around for years to come, a superb example of Hollywood’s art and a time capsule of weathering sentimentality for a Civilization gone with the wind, all right–gone, but not forgotten.
