This is an original Selznick 1940 “Limited Engagement” Six Sheet Poster for the Victor Fleming Civil War masterpiece, GONE WITH THE WIND (1939)—starring Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable, Olivia de Havilland, and Leslie Howard. Based on the epic novel by Margaret Mitchell, this film is certainly one of the greatest films ever made, bringing together a stellar list of talent in Hollywood at the time. Not only are all the performances outstanding, the scenery and costumes are sumptuous, the cinematography by Ernest Haller and Ray Rennahan (shot entirely in Technicolor) is glorious, and the music of Max Steiner is memorable. The film was nominated for 13 Academy Awards—including Best Picture, Best Actress to Leigh, Best Director to Fleming, and Best Cinematography. The poster for issued for the year 1940, and is considered original material. This is certainly the best poster depicting the burning of Atlanta. GONE WITH THE WIND was released in a few markets at the end of 1939, but the vast majority of its run began after January 1940. Some posters have erroneously been tagged as “roadshow” for GWTW. This is a misnomer. The film was never released as a roadshow attraction. Rather, Selznick rolled out a very slow release for the movie intended to build interest and positive word-of-mouth buzz over time. A more successful campaign for the release of the film could hardly have been accomplished. Adjusted for ticket price inflation, GONE WITH THE WIND has been (for decades) the highest grossing film ever made. This original stone lithograph six sheet poster is linen-backed and in very fine condition.
