TopBilled Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Patsy Kelly as Melanie, Milton Berle in drag as Scarlett, Marlene Dietrich in drag as Ashley, and Red Skelton as Rhett. And of course, we could not proceed without Al Jolson in blackface as Mammy. Oh, and somewhere in there, we would need a scene with the Three Stooges playing carpetbaggers.

Dargo2 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 "Ross Mathews"! LOL Now FlyBack, while Ashley MAY have been the "sensitive" sort, he definitely was NOT the "flamboyant" sort! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dargo2 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 LOL...again. I'm startin' to get the idea that you guys aren't takin' smitty's question here very seriously! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownGoesFrazier Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Who the h**l is Ross Matthews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dargo2 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I have to admit I wasn't sure which "Ross" this was until I googled his name, but as soon as I saw his picture I recognized him as the flamboyantly gay kid Jay Leno made a household name a while back on the "Tonight Show". (...his voice is more feminine than any woman you'll ever hear) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Yes he lost a ton of weight on Jenny Craig,did 1 commercial and it looks like he's gained it all back, and no more commercials. He does the Red Carpet shows before all the award shows with Joan and Melissa Rivers. That is the extent of my pop culture knowledge LOL and more than anyone wants or needs to know about Ross.

mrroberts Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Broderick Crawford and Judy Holliday as Rhett and Scarlett. Peter Lorre as Ashley. And finally (For Finance) June Allyson as Melanie. --- Seriously, I would have liked to see Paulette Goddard as Scarlett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clore Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I'm pretty satisfied with it as is, only I would sub Lew Ayres for Leslie Howard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swithin Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I would borrow the cast from a better 1939 movie: Scarlett: Merle Oberon Rhett: Laurence Olivier Melanie: Geraldine Fitzgerald Ashley: David Niven Mammy: Flora Robson Prissy: Leo G. Carroll Gerald O'Hara: Cecil Kellaway Dr. Meade: Donald Crisp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesJazGuitar Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I don't think that cast would have improved the film which I rate as 3 out of 5 stars. The problem is that the movie is based on a book that is centered on a character I'm not interested in and that I dislike. While Merle Oberon is in my top 5 as best looking actresses I don't think she would of given as spirited a performance as Leigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JefCostello Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I would keep everyone except for Leslie Howard, who might be the worst casting choice in movie history. I'd put Tyrone Power in his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sepiatone Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 > Marlene Dietrich in drag Isn't that an OXYMORON? Anyway, I imagine you're referring to others over the years while in their prime?
