GONE WITH THE WIND!

GONE WITH THE WIND!

This movie was a smash 80 years ago when it was released. It featured Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable and was one of the films that made black actors acceptable.

Now, it is being released in honor of its 80th Anniversary. Some idiots on the left who scream for tolerance are totally intolerant concerning this film and do not think it should be shown because it "portrays the South in a favorable light." Who cares? It was a classic and it is what it is. Truth is, it's a great show and features a number of award winning actors including blacks.

Another great movie we never hear anything about is SONG OF THE SOUTH, a Walt Disney Film released in 1939 which featured black actors showing off the TALES OF UNCLE REMUS, classic black folk tales from the book by Joel Chandler Harris. It was probably the first film ever made using animation AND live actors in one image.

 It also featured the hit song ZIP-A-DEE-DOO-DAH. I wonder if the moguls will see fit to release it again too, or is it not on the approved list?! Time will tell. Things that go around have a habit of coming around! 

 A story was featured on Fox News today about the re-release of GONE WITH THE WIND. The article can be accessed by copying and pasting this address into your browser:

Some bigoted theaters may not show the film, but DVD copies are available on the internet by a simple search. So are copies of SONG OF THE SOUTH. Just remember to buy the expensive versions, as they are the best quality. A You Tube version of the song is available by a quick  search for ZIP-A-DEE-DOO-DAH.

Enjoy the shows. They are classic Americana!
