have grow up with gwtw and i shun both the scarlett sequel book and the mini series until now . when i recently view the video for the first time and i be amaze how much i enjoy watch timothy dalton depiction of rhett butler and joanne walley kilmer a scarlet . i feel scarlet should be judge on it own merit rather than attempt any comparison with the venerable selznick masterpiece gwtw . while the scarlet story line and some of the dialogue suffer from lack of inspired writing and overall i think this be a worthwhile dramatization of what might have be between scarlett and rhett .
