Gone With the Wind Soars in 4K Ultra HD

Experience the grandeur of "Gone With the Wind" like never before, as the 1939 Hollywood classic receives a high-definition upgrade. This remastered edition, arriving digitally in 4K Ultra HD and on 4K UHD Blu-ray on November 3, promises enhanced picture and sound quality for an immersive viewing experience. Three distinct physical editions will be offered: a standard 4K UHD release, a SteelBook, and an exclusive collector's edition available only through Walmart.com.

Beyond the visual and auditory enhancements, the release includes new special features that delve into the film's enduring influence. Critics and scholars will explore its impact on cinema and popular culture in "Gone With the Wind: The Influence That Endures." Additionally, "Gone With the Wind: Restoring and Preserving an Epic" offers a behind-the-scenes look at the meticulous restoration process. Vivien Leigh's powerful performance as Scarlett O'Hara is revisited in "Scarlett O'Hara: A Woman Ahead of Her Time."

Adapted from Margaret Mitchell's celebrated novel, "Gone With the Wind" stars Vivien Leigh as Scarlett, a determined Southern belle navigating the tumultuous era of the Civil War and Reconstruction. The film garnered 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actress for Leigh. Hattie McDaniel made history as the first Black performer to win an Oscar for her supporting role. Adjusted for inflation, the film continues to hold the record for the highest-grossing domestic box office.

Further celebrating its legacy, Max Steiner's evocative score will be reissued on vinyl this fall by WaterTower Music, marking the first new pressing of the soundtrack in over four decades. The film's historical significance was also recognized with its selection for preservation in the Library of Congress' National Film Registry in 1989.
