"Gone With The Wind" Rarity



Here's a rarity (thanks to Lee Pecue for finding it).

The above photo is a behind-the-scenes shot taken during filming of the Gone With The Wind opening scene featuring Fred Crane (near the camera), Vivien Leigh (fixing her make-up) and George Reeves. Crane and Reeves portrayed the Tarleton Twins (or Tarleton Brothers) who were wooing Scarlet O'Hara and discussing the upcoming barbecue at the Wilkes's plantation during the beginning of the movie.

Note the size of the the three-strip technicolor camera used. The movie was produced in 1939.
