The most magnificent picture ever!"; "David O. Selznick's production of Margaret Mitchell's story of the Old South"; "Screen play by Sidney Howard"; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Clark Gable (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; "as Rhett Butler"), Vivien Leigh (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; "and presenting Vivien Leigh as O'Hara"), Leslie Howard ("as Ashley Wilkes"), Olivia de Havilland (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film; "as Melanie"), Hattie McDaniel ("as Mammy"), Thomas Mitchell ("as Gerald O'Hara"), Butterfly McQueen (as Prissy), Ann Rutherford ("as Carreen O'Hara"), George Reeves (in his first credited movie role!), Victor Jory, Jane Darwell, Ward Bond, Ona Munson ("as Belle Watling"), Yakima Canutt, Harry Davenport ("as Dr. Meade"), Carroll Nye ("as Frank Kennedy"), Laura Hope Crews ("as Aunt Pittypat"), Alicia Rhett ("as India Wilkes"), Barbara O'Neil ("as Ellen O'Hara"), Marcella Martin (as Cathleen Calvert), Frank Coghlan Jr., Fred Crank, Rand Brooks, Cammie King Conlan, Patrick Curtis, and William Bakewell NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that "Gone With The Wind" premiered in Atlanta in May of 1939. It had a limited release in a limited number of cities in December of 1939. In 1940, it was widely released, and posters were printed that said, "Exactly as originally presented, nothing cut, full-length", to let people know they were still seeing the full movie. In December of 1941, the movie finally made it to neighborhood theaters, and new posters were again printed, this time with the tagline, "Nothing cut but the price", to let people know the movie was still complete, even though they were paying a bargain price. Therefore, the movie was never out of release through the end of 1941. Some people might call the 1940 and 1941 posters re-releases, but that seems wrong to me, because the movie was never out of release during that time, so how could it be "re-released"? In any event, please do not bid on this lobby card unless you realize it is not a 1939 lobby card, but rather a 1940 lobby card. Condition: very good. There is a 3" piece of clear tape on the back of the top border to the left of center reinforcing a creased area. There is a 1" piece of tape on the back of the center of the right border covering a tear. There is a 3" crease in the top right in the background area and a few creases down the right edge of the image (these other creases are mostly only noticeable from the back). Other than the above, the card is in quite nice condition, and is otherwise completely unrestored. Learn More about condition grades
