Hollywood producers battle over a new script for 'Gone with the Wind' Just three weeks into filming, Gone With the Wind is in trouble. Desperate times call for drastic measures, so legendary producer David O. Selznick shuts down production, pulls director Victor Fleming from the set of The Wizard of Oz and hires script doctor Ben Hecht to save the film. But there’s a catch. The men have just five days to rewrite the script from scratch, and Hecht is one of the very few people in America who hasn’t actually read the best-selling novel.

“An affectionate portrait of the legendary movie producer David O. Selznick and his collaborators… a lot of fun… dispenses a good deal of insider’s dope on the professional and personal dynamics that fueled the production [of Gone with the Wind]…plenty of genuine wit in the dialogue, and the characters are drawn with such affection that one can’t help but cheer for them.” —New York Post.
