Scarlett
 | Average Customer Rating: Recommend This soapy but highly watchable television "sequel" to Gone with the Wind, the most popular Hollywood movie ever made, has nothing to do with memories of a vanished antebellum South. But it does end up in Ireland, where the determined Scarlett O'Hara Butler (played with frosty passion by Joanne Whalley-Kilmer) turns hard times into an opportunity by buying the ancestral home of her family. Before that happens, however, Scarlett fights to win back… Product details and pricing info |

- WHY ?
- I would love to see a sequel to end the stories of scarlet and ret butler BUT NOT with "different" actors and because Vivian Lee and Clarck Gable are not in this world anymore WE CAN'T HAVE A SEQUEL because ret = clarck and scarlet = vivian. PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

- Did not do Alexandra Ripley's Work Justice
- The costumes and scenery were great--and it was nice to see so much of Charleston represented, as I used to live there. However, I somewhat doubt that any of the actors involved read "Scarlett," much less GWTW! I wonder if whoever wrote the screenplay even bothered to read either work all the way through. It surely doesn't seem like it.
It is all very sad because Ms. Ripley's book is really good! Maybe someone else will remake it in movie form one day and do a better job of it. - 2007-11-22, 2 of 2 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Scarlett - The continuing saga of Scarlett O'Hara Butler
- Scarlett continues with her obsession of Rhett. Very angry after his rejection once again, she decides not to tell Rhett she is carrying another child from their brief, but dangerous escapade after Rhett's boat capsizes in a sudden storm. She makes a leap of faith by sailing to her father's country of birth, Ireland, with a Catholic Priest who is one of her Irish cousins. The story is riveting and very exciting as she finds that the British Government in Ireland treats it's people far different than the freedoms she is used to at home... and much more dangerous than she could ever have imagined.

- Better Than Gone With the Wind
- Perhaps there are many who would not agree with me, but I enjoyed Scarlett more than the original. I thought the actors were every bit as good, if not better, and there was an excellent plot.
