GONE WITH THE WIND -H17- VIVIEN LEIGH AS SCARLETT O’HARA AND OLIVIA DE HAVILAND AS MELANIE WILKES AT WAR HOSPITAL

Vintage original 12 x 15” (30 x 37.5 cm.) black and white double weight glossy silver gelatin print still photo, USA. Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable, Olivia de Havilland, Leslie Howard, Hattie McDaniel, dir: Victor Fleming; Selznick International Pictures/Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The epic American Civil War melodrama which has captured the hearts and imaginations of fans for generations— the story or a strong willed young woman who perseveres and succeeds— she and the characters in this story still inspire. Made during Hollywood’s Golden Year, it won most of the major Academy Awards and to this day many feel well deserved, particularly those for Vivien Leigh for Best Actress and the unprecedented Best Supporting Actress to Hattie McDaniel.

Seldom do oversized exhibition quality prints of this type, including their original attached typed blurbs on the verso come to the collectors market. They are unsurpassed in quality.

SIP108-123 depicts a scene in which Scarlett and Melanie have become volunteer nurses to the soldiers hospitalized in a church. In this noteworthy scene they attend to a wounded soldier played by popular character actor and singer Cliff Edwards, known as Ukulele Ike. Minor boarder creasing, tiny tear at mid right side blank white margin edge. ABOUT FINE.
