WHAT IT’S ABOUT
David O. Selznick, famed
Hollywood producer, has a problem. He’s three weeks into shooting his
latest historical epic,
Gone with the
Wind, but the script just isn’t working. His solution? Fire the
director, pull Victor Fleming off The Wizard of Oz,
and lock himself,
Fleming,
and script doctor Ben Hecht in his office for five days until they
have a screenplay. With only peanuts and bananas to sustain
them, they work through and act out Margaret Mitchell’s
bestseller and in the process make movie history.
