GONE WITH THE WIND (1939) POSTER, FRENCH

Following the publication of Margaret Mitchell's best-selling novel, the competition to obtain screen rights for its cinematic adaptation was ferocious and the creation of the screenplay a massive task undertaken by several writers including F. Scott Fitzgerald. The result was an unprecedented commercial success, a staggering representation of Hollywood glamour of the 30s which overwhelmed audiences with lavish sets and costumes.  

This film did not get released in France until 1951, and owing to its popularity it was re-released in 1953. This stunning poster by Roger Soubie was designed for the 1953 re-release of the film.
