  1. Several comments have been made about the music, so I will add my two cents here. In the late 60s, movie soundtracks started featuring collections of songs (Simon & Garfunkel in The Graduate for instance), rather than orchestral scores. This was a great marketing tool by the producers since they could make money off the movie and the resulting soundtrack. I use "soundtrack" advisedly here, because I barely consider these types of "scores" as soundtracks. On the other hand, in movies like Jaw, Star Wars, The Godfather, Patton, and plenty of others, composers maintained the tradition of using music to color the story. I haven't seen many new movies the last few years, but when I see previews, I notice (unforunately) that blaring soundtracks with rock/rap/loud screeching are in vogue. These are movies I always avoid.

  2. Why did they take a British actor for Ashley? Nothing against Leslie Howard, but how about an American with a slight southern accent? I'm not suggesting Johnny Mack Brown, but how about Randolph Scott? Then again, I also think Mantan Moreland would have been great as "Mammy."
