Film club screens 'Gone With the Wind'

The Historic Film Club at the Museum at Central School will screen “Gone with the Wind” at  7 p.m. Monday.

Director Victor Fleming’s 1939 adaptation of Margaret Mitchell's novel of the same name stars Vivien Leigh as self-absorbed, headstrong Scarlett O’Hara, a Southern belle who meets her match in Rhett Butler (Clark Gable) just as the Civil War breaks out. The movie won 10 Academy Awards, including Best Actor and Best Actress awards for Gable and Leigh, Best Director, Best Score and Best Supporting Actress for Hattie McDaniel, who played Mammy.

The film is not rated.

Anyone may attend the screening, and there is no charge. Donations will be accepted to help defray the cost of acquiring and showing the film.

Popcorn is free, and wine, beer, pop and water will be for sale.

Seating is provided, but people may also bring their own floor pillows, portable chairs or whatever is comfortable for viewing the film.

The monthly film screenings have been happening on the last Monday of the month during the summer but will return to the last Tuesday starting in September.

The Museum at Central School is located at 124 Second Ave. E. in Kalispell. Call 756-8381 for more information.
