Scott Fitzgerald, is fascinating not only because it truly, truly tried to be faithful to Margaret Mitchell's book, which more likely would have made a better TV miniseries, if such things had existed back in 1939. Still, this is an interesting book, if for no other reason than seeing what was originally submitted - Howard's screenplay, which was edited from the work of several writers, including F. Not to say that it wouldn't have made a fine movie, but as Scarlett O'Hara's father would have said, "God's Nightgown! This movie is lasting longer than the War itself!"
If Hollywood had decided to stick with Sidney Howard's original screenplay for Gone with the Wind and had filmed it in its entirely, moviegoers would have had to pack an overnight bag, a sleeping bag and call in sick to work just to sit through it.
