10 Classic Movies To Stream On HBO Max

Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh literally burned up the screen as Rhett Butler and Scarlett O’Hara in the 1939 classic movie, Gone with the Wind. The film tells the story of Scarlett, the daughter of a plantation owner, who finds love and loss during the American Civil War.

Scarlett O’Hara has one thing on her mind and that is Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard). The problem with that, though, is Wilkes is married to his own cousin, Melanie Hamilton (Olivia de Havilland). During her pursuit, Wilkes turns her down, but she gains the attention of another man, Rhett Butler. The Civil War dominates as lives are lost. Through it all, Scarlett begins to find love for Rhett, though ultimately, he simply doesn’t give a damn.
