Documentary: "1939: Hollywood's Greatest Year" (SD, 68 minutes) – This riveting documentary, which originally aired on Turner Classic Movies, pays long overdue tribute to arguably the finest 12 months in Hollywood history. 1939 produced such immortal works as 'Gone With the Wind,' 'The Wizard of Oz,' 'Gunga Din,' 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,' 'Stagecoach,' 'The Women,' 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame,' 'Wuthering Heights,' and 'Dark Victory,' to name but a few, and this classy production examines each studio's contributions to this banner year. Narrated by Kenneth Branagh and filled with film clips and archival reminiscences from some of the legendary artists who helped craft these immortal pictures, "1939: Hollywood's Greatest Year" examines the factory mentality of studio moviemaking, the benefits of the contract system, and sparks renewed appreciation for the inventiveness and creativity it spawned. Film fans do not want to miss this superior documentary.
Featurette: "'Gone With the Wind': The Legend Lives On" (SD, 32 minutes) – This entertaining featurette looks at the impact and influence of 'Gone With the Wind,' and the elements that make it such a timeless and beloved motion picture. Actress Ann Rutherford, who portrays Scarlett's youngest sister, Careen, reminisces about the film's premiere and her experiences on the set, and we learn about Gable's magnetism and ambivalence about taking on the role of Rhett. Other sequences profile various memorabilia museums that honor the film, and a group of super-fans called Windies, who give 'Star Trek' and 'Star Wars' fanatics a run for their money.
'Moviola: The Scarlett O'Hara War' (SD, 97 minutes) – Casting the role of Scarlett O'Hara became an obsession for producer David O. Selznick, who scoured the globe for a suitable actress who was both beautiful and could convey the heroine's fiery personality. This fun, slightly campy, but surprisingly faithful 1980 TV movie recreates that frantic search, with Tony Curtis as Selznick, Harold Gould as his powerful father-in-law, Louis B. Mayer, Sharon Gless as actress Carole Lombard, and other stars of TV portraying such notables as Clark Gable, Joan Crawford, Tallulah Bankhead, and Paulette Goddard. The film was nominated for a handful of Emmys (and won two), and the picture quality is quite good for a made-for-television movie from that period.

Audio Commentary – Respected film historian Rudy Behlmer sits down for another of his stellar, well-researched commentaries. It's tough enough to sustain a monologue for almost four hours, let alone make sure your audience stays engaged, but Behlmer manages both difficult tasks with his patented lively delivery and by sprinkling in an abundance of anecdotes and fascinating trivia. He quotes from various memos and books, provides brief bios of the cast and notable crew, discusses the life of Margaret Mitchell, notes differences between the novel and screenplay, even delves into Civil War history. He also addresses censorship issues and even points out a couple of scenes shot by other directors that remain in the finished film. This is an essential commentary that any true fan of 'Gone With the Wind' will find enriching and entertaining.
Documentary: "The Making of a Legend: 'Gone With the Wind'" (SD, 123 minutes) – This definitive 1989 behind-the-scenes documentary chronicles every aspect of the film's production in an absorbing, innovative style that makes it a must-see for anyone who has been remotely touched by this classic motion picture. Cast members Evelyn Keyes, Ann Rutherford, and Butterfly McQueen share their memories, and each phase of production – casting, financing, writing, scoring, special effects, editing, and the personal and professional travails of many cast and crew members – is examined in depth. Rare screen tests from a slew of well-known Scarlett wannabes are included, as well as excerpts from Selznick's fascinating and voluminous memos, which shed rare insights into the all-consuming effort to bring Margaret Mitchell's novel to the screen. Another can't miss extra.
Documentary: "Gable: The King Remembered" (SD, 65 minutes) – This 1975 tribute to arguably Hollywood's most renowned Golden Age star relies more on testimonials than film clips, with rambling reminiscences from such Gable cronies as actress Yvonne De Carlo, actor Andy Devine, director William Wellman, and columnist Adela Rogers St. John fleshing out the piece. Some scratchy montages give us a glimpse of Gable's magnetism, but this is more of a personal portrait than an appreciation of the actor's talent.
Documentary: "Vivien Leigh: Scarlett and Beyond" (SD, 46 minutes) – Produced in 1990 and hosted by actress Jessica Lange, this TCM retrospective does a better job of chronicling the life and work of Leigh, whose colorful existence included a 20-year marriage to actor Laurence Olivier, Oscars for 'Gone With the Wind' and 'A Streetcar Named Desire,' and courageous battles against manic depression and tuberculosis.
Featurette: "Melanie Remembers: Reflections by Olivia de Havilland" (SD, 38 minutes) – Filmed in 2004 when de Havilland was a spry 88, this priceless collection of memories from the legendary actress spans a multitude of topics, from her campaign to secure the part of Melanie and struggle to keep the character's plain look intact to her ability to coax tears from Clark Gable and initial disappointment over losing the Oscar to co-star Hattie McDaniel. Elegantly attired and as regal as a member of Hollywood royalty can be, de Havilland is utterly captivating, and it's a treat to hear about the making of 'Gone With the Wind' from a primary source.
Featurette: "The Supporting Players" (SD) – This absorbing collection of 16 mini-featurettes, each running under three minutes, is one of my favorite extras on the disc. Divided into three sections – "At Tara," "At Twelve Oaks," and "In Atlanta" – the profiles are meticulously produced and include fascinating bits of trivia about Thomas Mitchell, Barbara O'Neil (who portrayed Scarlett's mother, yet was only four years older than Vivien Leigh in real life!), Leslie Howard, Hattie McDaniel, Butterfly McQueen, Laura Hope Crews, and others.
Featurette: "Restoring a Legend" (SD, 17 minutes) – It's too bad Warner didn't see fit to update this 2004 featurette, which examines the film's Ultra-Resolution makeover for the DVD Collector's Edition, to include information about the 8k Blu-ray remastering, but it's still a worthwhile supplement to this package. Technicians address both video and audio and how they were painstakingly refurbished, show off the computer programs that aided in the process, and explain the Ultra-Resolution process and how it particularly benefits Technicolor films from the 1930s and '40s. Split-screen comparisons display the breathtaking results.
Vintage Newsreel Footage: "Dixie Hails 'Gone With the Wind'" (SD, 4 minutes) – Clips from the opulent premiere gala, including the airport arrivals of various stars, a festive parade through the streets of Atlanta, and a lavish dinner dance.
Vintage Short: "The Old South" (SD, 11 minutes) – Directed by a young Fred Zinnemann, who would go on to win Academy Awards for 'From Here to Eternity' and 'A Man for All Seasons,' this 1940 short pays tribute to the South and the bygone civilization that 'Gone With the Wind' depicts.
"Atlanta Civil War Centennial" (SD, 3 minutes) – Selznick, Leigh, and de Havilland attend festivities surrounding the first reissue of 'Gone With the Wind' in 1961.
Additional Footage (SD) – Before anyone gets too excited, all that's contained here is an international prologue for the film that briefly educates foreign audiences about the Old South, as well as isolated scenes from dubbed foreign editions of 'Gone With the Wind.' Amusing, but hardly earth shattering.
Theatrical Trailers (SD) – A collection of five 'Gone With the Wind' trailers spanning 50 years are included, from the original 1939 announcement preview through various reissue trailers up to the 50th anniversary rerelease in 1989.
