i do not read the book scarlett and when i watch this mini series i enjoy it very much and think it do not need to be compare to gwtw . the story may differ from the book and but who care it a movie . even in the credit it base on the book and it not the book . the film be clearly under appreciate with the review that other people write but can not even spell the main character names right . the acting in scarlett i think be superb . joanne whalley and timothy dalton be excellent . they take the character and give them there touch . now as far a other people go by and they compare them to the great vivian leigh and clark gable . they obviously do fantastic and but the lead in this film be completely different people who have there own acting method and shouldn not be pressure of what people have to say . if you want certain actor to do well then you should have direct the film and i be sure that other actor would not do as well a these with the chemistry and cleverness they bring to these role . the support cast stand out with there grandness and and jean smart steal the scene that shes in with her comedy genius . the location in the film be very beautiful and it be just grand to see scarlett go to all those place in the film a she cause trouble and other thing . also the scene in which scarlett talk to her dad grave it be very dramatic and i thought from then on that there be two great actress who bring scarlett ohara to life . not just vivian leigh but also joanne whalley . the film and the book may differ and but you must not take to heart that this be a sequel to one of the best film ever make otherwise you will think that this have to be like go with the wind and you will not like this film . but this be an under rat classic that be unlike gwtw and it it own movie . also keep in mind that tomorrow be another day .
