3 MITCHELL, MARGARET Gone With the Wind
New York Scribner 2005 
The classic novel signed by actor Fred Crane who appeared in the great 1939 film as Brent Tarleton, Scarlett O'Hara's suitor, and he speaks the very first line in the film to Vivien Leigh on the porch at Tara. Signed with his name and that of his character, in blue ink on the title page. Very fine in a very fine dust jacket. The late Fred Crane was the last surviving adult male actor from the film production. One of the most elaborate and difficult film productions of the Golden Age of American Cinema, Gone With the Wind remains one of the most popular movies of all time. The film gave Clark Gable his most memorable role, launched a two year search for an actress to play Scarlett O'Hara eventually making Vivien Leigh an international star, won eleven Academy Awards, and has had such an influence on popular culture that the film has generated continual appeal to new generations. From the time David O. Selznick purchased the film rights to the Margaret Mitchell novel for the then record sum of $50,000 in 1936, he proceeded to spend the next three years bringing his masterpiece to the screen.

4 GABLE, CLARK & MARGARET MITCHELL Gone With the Wind - By Margaret Mitchell
New York Macmillan 1936 
First Edition, First Issue. Signed by Margaret Mitchell on the flyleaf. Laid into the book is what is considered the finest Clark Gable letter extant, an amazing reflection all about Gone With the Wind. Dated January 25, 1960, it is a Typed Letter Signed in blue ink by Clark Gable, on his printed stationery with the original stamped envelope, which is written to the News Editor of the Atlanta Constitution newspaper, Mr. Actor Cordell, Jr., who had asked for Gable's remarks on Gone With the Wind twenty years after the release of the film classic, and to which Clark Gable wrote this amazing response: "Dear Mr. Cordell: I have received your letter of December 29 and will answer your questions in the order which you ask them. - Yes, it does seem like 20 years. - I feel about GONE WITH THE WIND as being one of the greatest pictures ever made, not because I played a leading role in it, but because of the great story, the way the story was brought to the screen, the production it received, and because of its very fine cast. When I look at the picture now after 20 years, I still feel it is one of the finest motion pictures ever made. - Yes, I think Rhett Butler is my favorite role, and I am associated more with GONE WITH THE WIND than with any of my other pictures. - As to suggestions for the casting of Rhett in the forthcoming stage musical, this is a little out of my line. I am sure the producer and the director will be completely capable of finding a very fine Rhett Butler. - Of the late Margaret Mitchell I would like to say that in addition to writing a wonderful novel she was of great help to me before I started working in the picture, advising me of the manner in which she thought I should attempt to portray Butler. I listened to her and followed her advice, and fortunately for me everything she told me was right. Naturally she was the one to whom I went for advice, because she was the one who had created the character. I am forever grateful to Margaret Mitchell. - Most sincerely, (Signed) Clark Gable.Ó This letter was written shortly before Gable left to film his final motion picture, the late masterwork, The Misfits, co-starring Marilyn Monroe and Montgomery Clift directed by John Huston using an original screenplay by Monroe's husband, Arthur Miller. Gable died in November a few days after shooting his last scene. This articulate and fascinating letter, therefore, remains his final observations about Gone With the Wind. The book, itself, is a near fine first edition in original cloth in a very good first issue dust jacket with some minor expert restoration by a paper conservationist. A truly historic piece enclosed in a very handsome custom morocco and cloth custom box.

6 [GONE WITH THE WIND - THE FILM]. MARGARET MITCHELL Gone With the Wind Screen Test Script
Los Angeles Selznick International Pictures 1939 
Original mimeographed three-page ÒReading SceneÓ screen test script between the characters of Belle and Melanie dated November 28, 1938 given to actress Billie Dove for a screen test as producer David O. Selznick sought out the recently retired actress to play Belle Watling in Gone with the Wind. The scene is the classic moment when Melanie thanks Belle Watling for lying to save her husband Ashley Wilkes from being arrested by occupying Union soldiers. The script is accompanied by a Western Union telegram to Billie Dove from agent Arthur M. Landau, January 18, 1939, in part: ÒPlease telephone me É on receipt of this wire as David O. Selznick is interested in talking to you about the part of Belle Watling in Gone with the WindÓ; with a Typed Letter Signed to Dove from Landau on his agency Artists and Authors Corporation of America, January 30, 1939, in part: ÒDavid Selznick still thinks that you are right for the part of Belle Watling in Gone with the Wind. He tells me that he did see you recently at some function...From a personality standpoint you may be just what he wants...within the next twenty four hours he will have his representive Mr. Maxwell Arnow or [film director] Mr. George Cukor call on you in person and discuss the part....Ó Billie Dove, was a star who enjoyed tremendous popularity in the silent era earning the popular nickname of The American Beauty, had retired from films in 1932. The roles in this massive production were actively competed for, and despite Selznick's efforts to entice her, Dove could not be lured into returning to the screen, and the role of Belle Watling went to Ona Munson. Accompanied by the original envelopes for the telegram and letter. This is the only screen test script we have seen to have survived from Selznick's screen tests to cast the production.
