The Scarlett O'Hara War (1980)

Review by ksdilauri

The Scarlett O'Hara War

8/10

It gets points for being made at all.

There's a lot to like and not like about this made-for-tv flick. The making of GWTW truly was a story in itself. As other reviewers note, some of the casting here is on the nose: Ed Winter as Gable, Sharon Gless as Carole Lombard-and especially Carrie Nye's Tallulah Bankhead-get top marks. (Her screen-test scene is a gem.) Tony Curtis never struck me as physically right for the part of control freak David Selznick--nor am I familiar with any evidence that he fooled around with Crawford while he dangled the part of Scarlett in front of her-but in Hollywood anything's possible, I suppose, and Curtis gives an able performance as the possessed human dynamo.

Like many fans, I would've liked to see more of Vivien Leigh; Morgan Brittany's appearance is brief, but it makes an impression . It's entertaining and worth a watch, then if you want the real story behind the movie, catch "The Making of GWTW" documentary narrated by Christopher Plummer.
