The funny and observant Moonlight and Magnolias tells the story behind the greatest film almost never made: The desire of David O. Selznick to produce "Gone With the Wind" leads him to hold writer Ben Hecht and director Victor Fleming creative captives in his office for five days while Selznick shuts down "Gone With the Wind" production, using an endless arsenal of guilt, anger and intimidation to make them rewrite and rescue the picture's ailing script.

Great pacing, all parts played with intensity; the lead playing David O. Selznick portrayed the blend of freneticism and passion that was his hallmark to a T!Written on Nov 11 2006

Description
"No Civil War movie ever made a dime," says writer Ben Hecht; but David O. Selznick has other plans. In Ron Hutchinson's consistently funny, sharply observed expose of Hollywood egos, the compulsive, near-psychotic desire of Selznick to produce Gone With the Wind leads him to hold Hecht and director Victor Fleming creative captives in his office for five days. During that time, Selznick shuts down Gone With the Wind production and uses an endless arsenal of guilt, anger and intimidation to make them rewrite and rescue the picture's ailing script.
