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 |

- I can't get enough of Scarlett and Rhett.
- This followed the book to the T. It was great. I can't get enough of them.

- "Scarlett" CD review
- I was very disappointed in the story line. It deviated so much from the book and even had story lines entirely made up that were not in the book. A terrific movie could've been made by following the book instead of changing it and adding more sexual scenes to show on TV.

- "Scarlett" (Sequel to "Gone With The Wind")
- This is a great movie, and a good sequel to "Gone With The Wind." I found the roles of Scarlett and Rhett played by other actors a little disappointing at first, but after a little while I got used to it and found them very satisfying indeed. The story might lack a little of the impact of GWTW, but one can never see the "first" impression over again. The story is a very satisfying sequel to "Gone With The Wind," and when its seven hours was over I wanted more. I found no need to act as a professional movie critic and compare the sequel to the predecessor, it's just a good movie, a good sequel, very enjoyable, and satisfied my desire for the "continuation" of "Gone With The Wind." Now I hunger for a continuation of "Scarlett."

- Doesn't come close to "gone with the wind". Couldn't finish watching it!

- Highly Disturbing
- After reading Alexandra Ripley's incredible sequel to GWTW, I was eager to see "Scarlett" brought to life by a miniseries. I was sorely disappointed. The movie destroys the story. Not only does it fail to bring the book to life, but it changes the plot and twists it into an unrecognizable, horrific mishmash of repulsion. I was offended and disgusted by much of the story that was added on by the screenwriter and director.
Joanne Whalley, while a good actress in her own rite, was not my ideal pick for Scarlett. She didn't have the fire or feminine wiles that Vivien Leigh portrayed so perfectly in GWTW. Timothy Dalton was the best thing about the movie, but his story and the way he appeared to be in love with Anne Hamptom was uncomfortable to watch and goes against the fact that he is supposed to be in love with Scarlett always and forever. Annabeth Gish as Anne Hampton was another very strange casting choice, in my opinion, but I first saw Gish as "Monica Reyes" in the X-Files, so maybe that type-casts her in my mind.
The movie was beautiful to look at with amazing sets and locations and costumes. But the beauty was not enough to make up for a script that should never have made it to the screen.
