RHETT: Mammy, what's that rustling noise I hear.
MAMMY: Lord, Mr. Rhett. That ain't nothin' but my red silk petticoat you done give me.
RHETT: Nothin' but your petticoat. I don't believe it. Let me see. Pull up your skirt.
MAMMY: Mr. Rhett. You is bad. [backing up] You, lordy. [pulling up her skirt to reveal the petticoat]

This dress is considered by Mammy to be too low cut for the occasion. The fabric is white with a green spring pattern.

After finding her beloved plantation in ruins, Scarlett digs up a tiny radish and tries to eat it, prompting her to swear: "If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill. As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again."

SCARLETT: That man looking at us and smiling. The nasty, dark one.
CATHLEEN CALVERT: My dear, don't you know? That's Rhett Butler. He's from Charleston. He has the most terrible reputation.

The film tells the story of Scarlett O'Hara, the strong-willed daughter of a Georgia plantation owner.

The film is set in the American South against the backdrop of the American Civil War.

SCARLETT: Rhett, don't. I shall faint.
RHETT BUTLER: I want you to faint. This is what you were meant for. None of the fools you've ever known have kissed you like this, have they? Your Charles, or your Frank, or your stupid Ashley.

Scarlett has two younger sisters, Susan Elinor ("Suellen") O'Hara and Caroline Irene ("Carreen") O'Hara, and three little brothers who died in infancy.

Victor Fleming's most popular films were The Wizard of Oz (1939) and Gone with the Wind (1939), for which he won an Academy Award for Best Director.

She was named Katie Scarlett, after her father's mother, but is always called Scarlett, except by her father, who refers to her as "Katie Scarlett."
