The movie version based on Margaret Mitchell's book premiered in Atlanta, Georgia on December 15, 1939. It won eight Academy Awards, one of them for Best Picture.
In terms of inflation, Gone with the Wind has become the highest-grossing movie of all time [1].
The movie's last line (from Rhett Butler to Scarlett O'Hara), "Frankly, my dear, I do not give a damn," was called the greatest movie quote of all time by the American Film Institute [2].
It is one of the greatest movies ever made in the United States. It was number four in AFI's "100 Years... 100 Movies" list [3].
