| Editorial Reviews:
This soapy but highly watchable television "sequel" to Gone with the Wind, the most popular Hollywood movie ever made, has nothing to do with memories of a vanished antebellum South. But it does end up in Ireland, where the determined Scarlett O'Hara Butler (played with frosty passion by Joanne Whalley-Kilmer) turns hard times into an opportunity by buying the ancestral home of her family. Before that happens, however, Scarlett fights to win back the estranged Rhett Butler (manfully portrayed by Timothy Dalton), often seen in the company of other women, struggles for control over the homestead Tara, and gets caught in yet another compromising position with poor Ashley Wilkes (Stephen Collins). The troubles never stop (Scarlett's Ireland adventures land her in a heap of trouble from which only Rhett can save her), but this TV miniseries wisely keeps the focus on these captivating characters, their entangled histories, and the collective destiny that refuses to part them. The show also looks good: the location scenes in Ireland are particularly handsome, and there is something unaccountably satisfying about seeing Scarlett and Rhett walking through peaceful green hills. Enjoy. --Tom Keogh

 A good representation July 11, 2001

I saw this movie before I read the novel. It was intriguing and everytime I watched Gone With The Wind I had felt sort of cheated. I was thrilled to hear that there was more to the story. Because I felt the movie was so good, it inspired me to read the book. And though the movie wasn't entirely like the book, it held true to the essence of the story. The book was pretty long, and so was the movie, you can't expect everything from the book to be included in the movie!
Sure to please. November 13, 2005

If your looking for a Gone with the Wind sequel this movie is not for you. On it's own merits I give it 5 stars. If you are a period movie buff lover you will love this movie as I do. All star cast, acting, beautiful sets and costumes. I just loved all the twists and turns of this movie that kept it exciting especially when Scarlett goes back to Ireland and finds her roots so to speak. I was definetely NOT bored. A love story that is sure to please.
A GREAT FOLLOW-UP TO "GONE WITH THE WIND"! October 12, 2000

The most highly anticipated sequel in history proves to be well worth nearly sixty years of waiting. "Scarlett" is a lavish, epic film that ties up all the loose strings left by "Gone With the Wind", and while not combining all the original elements of "GWTW" and indeed a long film, it is an extremely entertaining and engrossing film. Joanne Whalley-Kilmer is excellent as the tempestuous post-Vivien Leigh Scarlett O'Hara Butler, bringing a freshness and originality to the role so unique that she succeeds in diminishing Leigh's emblazonment on the role. Timothy Dalton is excellent in his Clark Gable-follow-up to Rhett Butler, bringing a deep sense of humanity to the role lacking in Gable's performance. The story picks up right where "GWTW" left off, and we finally get to know what happened to Scarlett and Rhett. Through this engrossing tale, Scarlett sets out to seek Rhett's love again, make peace with her past haunts, and discover her true identity. Her journey takes her from Atlanta to Charleston to Ireland and beyond before she can succeed in winning back the man she always loved. All the other memorable characters are back too: Ashley Wilkes, Mammy, Aunt Pittypat, Suellen and Will, just to name a few. And there are some new faces, as well: Jean Smart is immensely likable as Sally Brewten, a wily friend of the Butlers with a heart of gold. Colm Meaney is great in his role of Colum O'Hara, Scarlett's Irish cousin. And Ann-Margret makes a memorable cameo as Atlanta's leading madam, Belle Watling, along with Esther Rolle in the part of Mammy. And Sean Bean is very effective in his role of Richard Fenton, an Englishman whom Scarlett meets up with... and later regrets. A lively script, crisp direction, and gorgeous cinematography blend together perfectly to create the most anxiously awaited sequel in history... and it's all worth the wait!
one of the best minniseries October 21, 2005

I am a fan of gone with the wind, but not what you would call a die hard fan. So in my opinion i think that this sequel is very good. Joanne Whalley does a good job as the southern belle who this time around becomes more giving and caring.
Timothy Dalton is equally impressive as Rhett Butler. The supporting cast of characters including Jean Smart, Annabeth Gish, and Stephen Collins all deserve applause too. So give it a chance. You'll enjoy.
Scarlett is a Strong Woman and Benefic March 23, 2006

I enjoyed the story, took a long time to watch. The acting was good. The settings
and costuming were good. I could say a lot more about it. It was a while back that I saw it, stayed up half the night to watch it all. Very interesting story. I always liked the strong character of Scarlett, and in this sequel, Scarlet displays better judgment about her relationship with Rhett. I had enjoyed the woman that Scarlett was in Gone With The Wind, although she had that infatuation and fetish for Ashley, who wasn't her equal in spirit or good business sense. We need more stories for strong female characters, that are made into movies or tv movies.
