On this very night, December 15, 1939 - sixty-seven years ago - "Gone With the Wind" had its premiere showing at the Loew's Grand Theatre in Atanta, Georgia.
The movie would go on to become a major cinematic classic, winning Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Actress (Vivien Leigh), Best Supporting Actress (Hattie McDaniel), and Best Director (Victor Fleming), as well as the hearts of movie fans around the world.
In celebration of its 1939 opening, here is the original theatrical trailer. (The sound is a little off, but still it's worth watching.) Enjoy.
