This is the kind of film they would have made in the golden age of hollywood,probably with Gable and Tracy and Joan Crawford.This fim is of a high quality.Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise with a vengenance and Demi Moore is great to look at and Kevin Pollack is good too but the film belongs to Jack Nicholson he has a screen prescence that few modern stars can attain. The film moves quickly and with some great quotable lines along the way.this is what US movies do at there best,perhaps not quite a great film certainly one that can be watched every couple of years.Sit back grab a coffee and enjoy 8/10

This film made in 1939 has stood the test of time very well, the first half of the film flows with great pace,The dialogue is witty and acting is top notch,the actress who plays Mammy is fantastic,although modern audiences may feel uneasy that all the black actors play servants or carpetbaggers but thats how it was in those days, The scene where Scarlet crosses the streets of Atlanta covered in dead and dying soldiers stays with you,the civil war was the first modern warand casualties were on a massive scale. Gable is great,Leslie Howard and Olivia de Havilland play their parts well but this fikm belongs to Vivien Leigh she is brilliant. Find time,grab a supply of sweets and watch this movie it's hollywood at it;s best 9/10

One reveiwer critices this film about lack of action he misses the point,all the characters are well developed which makes the ending so painfull. The acting is first rate every part is played with a great belief,,there are so many great scenes that touch the heart.The men are bonded together by their actions and when the bonds are broken through death or orders it hurts us all. Donna Reed is gorgeous to look at ,only a small role but well acted. At the end of the film you feel a lump in your throat and a tear forms in your eye,I love this movie.9/10
