This is really only for GOTW geeks. If you are one don't be ashamed. Me too. This lavishly mounted, relentlessly watchable melodrama, is everything that we associate with old world Hollywood glamour. It will probably be around as long as people watch movies. So will this sturdy red velvet box. Generally speaking I'd rather have a a multi disc set rather than special packaging but this has both and GWTW is worth it. Now if we could only get a Chariot Edition of Ben Hur or a Holy Tablet version of the Ten Commandments (10 discs natch).
You get 5-Discs in LIMITED and NUMBERED packaging containing the movie the in hi-def plus more than 8 hours of extras, including the new doc "Warner Bros. Home Entertainment presents 1939: Hollywood's Greatest Year," "Gone with the Wind: The Legend Lives On" featurette, and all the extras previously released on the four disc version. Collectibles include a 52-pg Hardcover Photo and Production Art Book, ten (10) 5"x7" frameable Watercolor Reproduction Art Prints, Bonus CD Soundtrack Sampler, and Reproduction of the Original 1939 Program. Available in DVD and Bluray.
