Producer David O. Selznick's relentless pursuit of a legendary film, Gone with the Wind, was marked by years of script development struggles. Despite multiple writers' efforts, the script was never fully finalized, affecting the production process. The casting of Clark Gable as Rhett Butler was straightforward, but finding the perfect Scarlett O'Hara proved a national sensation, with top Hollywood stars competing for the role. The film's directorial changes, including George Cukor and Victor Fleming's departures, ultimately led Selznick to take the reins himself, driven to complete the film according to his vision.
