Celebrating Gone With the Wind's 85th Anniversary

Are you a Gone With the Wind movie fan?  To commemorate its 85th Anniversary theaters are showing the 3 hour 58 minute film tomorrow, April 10th.


I have blogged about the movie several times previously, and had the privilege of meeting Kathleen Maraccio, Michigan's foremost expert on all things pertaining to Gone With the Wind at two of her presentations.

I think the first time I saw the film in the theater was for its 35th Anniversary, and I have both VHS tapes and DVDs of the movie.

For its 80th Anniversary my hubby and I saw it at the retro Redford Theater in 2019.


I've attended as well as hosted Gone With the Wind teas, and while I don't have near the knowledge or memorabilia that Kathleen has, I was privileged to give two Gone With the Wind presentations for residents at Senior Citizen Retirement Communities.


A highlight was touring the Gone With the Wind Museum in Marietta, Georgia with a group of tea loving ladies in March of 2018.


Below is a photograph I purchased of Vivian Leigh from a scene in the movie.


I won't be going to see the movie in the theater tomorrow, but I may make some popcorn and put in my DVDs to watch it on my TV screen.  Will you be going to the theater to see it?

  1. I didn't see it in the theater this time but I have seen it - and have read the book several times.
