Description
GONE WITH THE WIND. Roger Soubie.
Grande poster, linen backed, unframed: 63 x 47 in. (160 x 119 cm)
Owing to WWII, the film did not get released in France until 1951. It was so popular that it had a re-release only two years later.
Following the publication of Margaret Mitchell's best-selling novel, the competition to obtain screen rights for its cinematic adaptation was ferocious and the creation of the screenplay a massive task undertaken by several writers including F. Scott Fitzgerald. The result was an unprecedented commercial success, a staggering representation of Hollywood glamour of the 30s which overwhelmed audiences with lavish sets and costumes.
