Editorial Review:
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
Scarlett Reviews:
Film not quite as good as portrayed 
2009-11-27 - The price was great and the delivery was on time. I felt the quality of the film could have been better. I have many VHS tapes that are older than this one and they are crystal clear. Scarlet is grainy and static filled. I wrote this same statement to the vendor that shipped it and they have never replied to me at all.
Excellent acting and scenery 
2009-11-06 - Excellent movie

Timothy Dalton is a great actore

Scarlett the Movie
2009-10-28 - I had been searching for this specific product and it was easy to find on Amazon.com. I had searched for a long time in stores and couldn't find it and even on ebay it was a little difficult and the prices were higher. I was impressed with the timing in which I received the product. I thought it would take a week or longer and it arrived within two days. My experience was definitely encouraging and look forward to purchasing from Amazon again.
Scarlett
2009-10-21 - I'm very satisfied with my purchase of the DVD "Scarlett" on Amazon.com. The product that I bought was just as the seller said it would be. There were no surprises or disappointments. And it came in the mail quickly within just a few days after ordering.
The first half is okay, the second half isn't.
2009-07-09 - I liked the first part of this movie, even though it did take some liberties with the book (it didn't have the woodland witch character, for example... and Scarlett's grandmother was the one who actually performed the Cesarian section on Scarlett.) But, the second half... with the murder of Lord Fenton and that trial?? What the heck? THAT DID NOT HAPPEN IN THE BOOK. And it wouldn't have been that difficult to stay true to the book's story for the movie!
Don't get me wrong, the movie is okay in and of itself, but anyone who was expecting it to be like the book will surely be disappointed.
