Miles also landed the role of Madeline Elster in Hitchcock’s Vertigo, but got bumped with her pregnancy. Of course, Vertigo was not a box office success whereas Gone With The Wind was a smash. On the other hand, several terrific directors of late 20th century found Vertigo to be highly influential to their work.
“Gone With the Wind” was circulated underground in the occupied countries of Europe during WWII, the Nazis had banned it by the middle of the war. The book also sold well in Germany itself, where it wasn’t banned but not reprinted. The movie made it to Europe in the late 1940s and was also very popular along with the book. The themes of the book, war, occupation, and resilience, fit the times.
She was the perfect Blanche DuBois as well.
Funny, I’ve been watching GWT the last several nights. Vivian
Leigh is still stunning after all these years, what a role for a 19 year old. The movie is a bit dated by today’s standards but still entertaining. I wonder if women would still swoon over Clark Gable today?

Why? Furore over THIS nice AI assisted song “We Will Dance Again.” It has a fine reagae beat, with a bit of Hebrew in the lyrics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUULg9tlubQ
Leigh, with her British accent, actually may have been the most authentic vocal choice, as well as having other positive features.
Extensive research has been conducted since the 1930s to determine the origin of the Appalachian dialect. One popular theory is that the dialect is a preserved remnant of 16th-century (or “Elizabethan”) English in isolation,[5][6] though a far more accurate comparison would be to 18th-century (or “colonial”) English.[7] Regardless, the Appalachian dialect studied within the last century, like most dialects, actually shows a mix of both older and newer features,[7] with particular Ulster Scots immigrant* influences.[8]
