Hollywood, 1939, and mogul David O. Selznick has just shut down production on
the most eagerly anticipated movie in history, <i>Gone with the Wind</i>,
scrapping the script and sacking the director. Hollywood is a buzz. Determined
to produce a rewrite in five days, he engages the reluctant services of ace
script doctor Ben Hecht – possibly the only person in America who has not read
the novel – and the movie’s new director Victor Fleming, straight from the set
of <i>The Wizard of Oz</i> after squabbling with the Munchkins and coming to
blows with Judy Garland. With his reputation on the line, and nothing but
peanuts and bananas to sustain them, Selznick locks the three collaborators in
his office, and a marathon creative session begins.</span><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"></span></p>

and Magnolias is an entertaining trip to the mythical world of Tinsel Town
during a bygone era. However, through the comedy and mayhem, there are serious
references to society and cultural concerns. One is how being Jewish in the
1930’s Hollywood was perceived. Another is the perception of slavery during The
Civil War. Others deal with the Nazis coming to power, membership in Country
Clubs, and how some romance ‘The Old South’. Hopefully, one day these and other
prejudices will also be, ‘gone with the wind’.” – TOM VALENTINE Correspondent,
