Fiddle-dee-dee

Gone with the Wind Most importantly it has old-school one-line zingers that you just don’t find in current movies. Think about it … How many times have you uttered, “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.” Or, “As God as my witness, I’ll never go hungry again.” Do you even know where the lines come from, what they mean? Tomorrow night’s your chance to find out.

Thursday at 7:30 the Bing Crosby Theater is showing this 1939 classic on the big screen. Although I’ve seen the film plenty of times (most of it, at least … although never in one sitting … it’s almost 4 hours long!), I plan to take a seat and put my short attention span to the test. (Please, God, tell me there’ll be an intermission.)

Get together with your girlfriends and down a couple mint juleps. Then settle in for one of the greatest (and most frustrating) love stories of all time. Hoop skirts not required.

The clip below features one of my absolute favorite moments between Rhett and Scarlett: “No, I don’t think I will kiss you, although you need kissing, badly. That’s what’s wrong with you. You should be kissed and often, and by someone who knows how.” Ah, Rhett, they just don’t make ‘em like you anymore.
