Product Description
Scarlett, the mini-series based on Alexandra Ripley's best-selling sequel to Gone With the Wind, takes up precisely where that story left off, and sees Scarlett O'Hara off on a journey from Atlanta to Charleston and Savannah, to London, and to her ancestral home of Ballyhara in Ireland. The motive force behind the story is once again the turbulent romance between Scarlett and Rhett Butler. Separated from Scarlett and seeking a divorce, Rhett is now pursued passionately by his wife, who seeks a reconciliation. Frustrated in her effort and unwilling to win Rhett by telling him she is pregnant with their child, Scarlett leaves for Ireland, where she is caught up in the political upheaval of the day, and to England, where she must stand trial for a murder she did not commit. In a dramatic climax, Rhett rushes to Scarlett's side, knowing that she needs him and that her life is at stake. Helping to win her acquittal and finally apprised that they have a son, Rhett reunites with Scarlett, conceding that he never stopped loving her. Scarlett continues what is unarguably the most celebrated story of the American cinema, with all the richness of the original and with an epic sweep that today is seen only in long-form television.

After Charleston the movie deviates almost entirely from the book story. First Rhett does not divorce Scarlett while she is Savannah, nor does she leave America for Ireland with any expectation that he will. The story once she arrives in Ireland is completely different. Firstly, Earl Fenton is not there when she arrives at Ballyhara, nor does he appear in the book until 4 years after her arrival. She returns to America to sell here Atlanta real estate holdings some time after Rhett divorces her, but that has nothing to do with Suellen, and certainly has nothing to do with Fenton's growing violence as portrayed in the movie. Rhett discovers where Scarlett is on her return trip to Ireland with a port call in Charleston where they see each other, him from the dock, her from the boat deck, as the boat pulls out to sea. Rhett does come for her, but most certainly not with his new wife Ann Hampton in tow. Scarlett proves remarkably successful in rapidly advancing up the ranks Anglo aristocratic society in Ireland. That ultimately is how she gets Rhett back, as Rhett, an Anglo aristocrat himself, cannot stand the richest men in England and Ireland fawning over her while he's left out. He makes repeated trips to Ireland, purportedly to buy horses, employing his friends to keep tabs on her. Lord Fenton, the richest man in England, takes note after her début in Dublin Castle and dance with the Viceroy (and Rhett), and when he moves in to court Scarlett, this after his wife Ann Hampton has died, it is the last straw for Rhett. In the movie Fenton's role and character is completely misrepresented; his movie portrayal as a rapist is all wrong. Fenton never displays any violence toward Scarlett (except a brief encounter on horseback which she rather enjoyed). He displays supreme aristocratic arrogance viewing his marriage plans for her as an exercise in horse breeding (and tells her as much)---the plan being to mix his aristocratic blood with her quality strains and traits, which he sees in Cat her daughter, and produce an heir which he needs. She agrees knowing she cannot conceive a child anyway anymore. But he certainly does not rape her or anyone else in the book; nobody kills Fenton; and of course there is no murder trial. Rhett rushes to Scarlett after learning that she is to be married to Fenton, whilst Scarlett discovers from Moreland, Rhett's friend, the truth about Ann's death, convinced that he will come for her...
The movie is alternate sequel to Gone with the Wind, not one "based" on the book...The objective of the movie seems to be to create a role for Sean Bean to play another villain, thus necessitating the changing of the story to make a villain out of Fenton...Joanne Whatley plays an excellent Scarlett O'Hara and carries the story, in many ways far more credibly than Vivian Leigh (1939) who is a bit too young and for her role...Whatley displays the mature Scarlett O'Hara remarkably.
"Gone With The Wind" is one of my favorite books, so I was leery of reading "Scarlett," a sequel, much less seeing a mini-series based on it. But my curiosity got me and I read the book, then saw the mini-series.
My fears were groundless. The book is quite good, even though I was predisposed to not like it. It's well written and seems like a logical expansion of Scarlett's life.
***SPOILER ALERT*** At the end of GWTW, Scarlett has finally realized that it's Rhett she loves, not Ashley. But he walks out on her, saying that famous line, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." She is determined to get him back, and that's where "Scarlett" comes in. She tries all she can to win Rhett back, but to no avail. She decides to go to Ireland, where her father came from and where she still has relatives.
The mini-series does a good job of presenting the most important events of the book. Even better are the stars who portray Scarlett and Rhett. Joanne Whalley-Kilmer does a fine job of bringing out both the good and bad traits of Scarlett, and she portrays her growing up finally. But my favorite is Timothy Dalton as Rhett. Okay, he's gorgeous...I have to admit that. He does a marvelous job of being kind and cruel, still loving Scarlett but not willing to have his heart broken again. I won't give away the ending, but if you are a GWTW fan, you'll love "Scarlett" the mini-series.
Also, GONE WITH THE WIND is one of my Most Treasured Films.
I Saw the Original Airing of SCARLETT,
The TV version of the Mini-Series.
I recorded it myself onto VHS as an Adolescent, and adoringly Watched my Heroine many times.
It is Filmed as well as any Movie or HBO Series, given the period of Time in Which it was Filmed, 1993-1994.
I have read both Books, SCARLETT & GONE WITH THE WIND.
Yes, I wish there were More of the book in the SCARLETT Film, as well as GWTW, but then Doesn’t Everyone who compares a Book to a Film?
Such as the more recent comparisons of Book to Film Series of OUTLANDER and HARRY POTTER.
For Scarlett, I’ve heard and read comments such as,
Joanne Whalley’s Eyes being Brown instead of Green like Vivien Leigh’s.
I will admit it is acclimating to see another actress play the part of my Beloved heroine SCARLETT O’HARA, but I believe Joanne Whalley does a wonderful job of portraying the Mature version of SCARLETT who has seen bloodshed and overcome strife and the disharmony of a War-torn Country and home.
I’m just thankful that both a Book and a Film about SCARLETT exist, considering it was done some 50-odd Years after the Original GONE WITH THE WIND.
I Love all of the GWTW Characters.
No matter which medium– film, novel, series, etc., I will always Enjoy what is available in and of itself.
Consequently, there’s also a book about RHETT BUTLER which has Mixed Reviews.
I Listened to RHETT BUTLER’S PEOPLE on Audible, and I Highly Recommend the Book For anyone who Desires to go back and visit the GONE WITH THE WIND Families and Friends.
Additionally, this DVD of SCARLETT arrived by Amazon Quickly and without defects, as per my photos.
