...friends, research online and some professional advice. While her fiancé was off skiing the Canadian wilderness, from hut to unheated hut, Bergman was at home, "enjoying a visit from an out-of-town friend, eating meat (her fiancé's a vegetarian) and going to every last formulaic action-adventure movie of the season (which he cannot stand)." Talk about a win-win situation...

...Gone With the Wind focus on everything [producer David O.] Selznick did before Fleming arrived ... but rewrites continued during filming, and as [F. Scott] Fitzgerald wrote of Fleming for a 1939 lecture tour by [Sheilah] Graham: '[He was a] fine adaptable mechanism - which in the morning could direct the action of two thousand extras, and in the afternoon decided on the colors of the buttons of Clark Gable's coat and the shadows on Vivien Leigh's neck ...
