And, when the wars were over, no one ever knew what they were about."The black sheep of a good family from Charleston, and urned out of West Point, Rhett expresses his lone dissent from the optimistic voices.She blamed the Tramp, who happened o be passing by, accosted him and whacked him with her umbrella, dragged him over to her carriage, and forcibly insisted hat he again take the infant - under the watchful eye of the summoned policeman at the scene.There is an apparent loss of all gravitational force - he railroad crossing signal rocks back and forth, the electrical system indicators in the cab dashboard go haywire and smoke, and debris flies randomly around the interior of the cab.Many comparisons were made between the languorously-pacedGiantandGone With the Wind (1939)from 17 years earlier: both were epics of the South with a strong male and female character (Hudson - Rhett Butler, and Taylor - Scarlett O""Hara), a central ranch or plantation (Reata and Tara), and adapted from a novel by a female author (Ferber and Margaret Mitchell).
