Hollywood is abuzz in 1939…
Legendary producer David O. Selznick
has shut down production of his new
epic, “Gone with the Wind,” a film
adaptation of Margaret Mitchell’s novel.
The screenplay is just not working. So
what’s an all-powerful movie mogul to do?
While fending off the film’s stars, gossip
columnists and his own father-in-law,
Selznick sends a car for famed screenwriter
Ben Hecht and pulls formidable director
Victor Fleming from the set of “The
Wizard of Oz.” Summoning both to his
office, he locks the doors, closes the shades
and, on a diet of bananas and peanuts, the
three men labor over five days to fashion a
screenplay that will become the blueprint
for one of the most successful and beloved
films of all time. Visit the website for more
information on tickets and other details.
