Gone with the Wednesday: Some Upcoming 75th Anniversary Events

Following the celebration in Marietta, there are  a few more events in the coming months celebrating Gone with the Wind’s 75th Anniversary:

The 75th Anniversary edition Blu Ray will be available Sept. 30. The transfer is the same as the 70th and so is most of the content, aside from a documentary “Old South/New South” which compares Civil War locations then and now. For a while i heard rumblings of both a new Gable documentary and a new Leslie Howard one on the set, but alas it does not appear to be. It does include a music box and a replica of Rhett Butler’s “RB” handkerchief (yes, I’m serious.) More info here.

The Harry Ransom Center in Austin, Texas is hosting what should be a fabulous new exhibition displaying the largest collection of original costumes from the film (including the green curtain dress!) as well as storyboards, production records, production stills and much more. The center is also home to David O. Selznick’s personal papers. The exhibition is running September 9, 2014 through January 4, 2015.  More info here. 

The Clark Gable Foundation in Cadiz, Ohio is hosting an event, tentatively schedule for the end of September. The only info I have for right now is that they will be showing the film. Hopefully details will be released soon.

Watch the Facebook page for more details as I receive them!

I’m hoping more and more events pop up as the year progresses!
