Rated G
"Gone With The Wind", the movie, is re-released in this 1998
New Line film. "Gone With The Wind" is the winner of eight
Academy Awards when it was originally released in December 1939 including
Best Picture.
The new prints use Technicolor's revived dye transfer process which
means that they are from a dye-trnasfer copy and then digitally enhanced
as opposed to say creating them from the original three strip nitrate negative.
The original 1:33-to-1 aspect ratio has been restored and the sound has
ben digitally remastered. Previous reissue version of the classic had a
1:85 to 1 ratio. The current ratio appears closer to square and is
true to the original.
The original December 1939 version was a long 223 minutes. This release
will also be presented with its original overture, an intermission and
exit music as planned by Mr. Sleznick. That's four hours with a 15 minute
intermission about the Civil War and a Georgia women who seems to cope
with everything but the love of one man.
Restoration - EDS Digital Studios, a Los Angeles based restoration
company, spent more than 12 months digitally repairing what many had considered
permanent damage to the film's negatives. EDS's 30 visual-effects artists
worked frame-by-frame to restore 18,000 frames which translates into 12
minutes and 30 seconds of film. They worked on an as-needed basis focusing
on the most dramatic scenes. The cost to digitally restoring the damaged
frames is incredibly steep because each frame is done individually by hand
on a compositing system.
