I saw this once in school in eighth grade. They used to show it on TV once in a while stretched over a few days. Damned if I'm going to spend four hours watching it again.

From anniversary issue of MAD in which they parodied what were considered "all-time classics". Gone With the Wind was the most highest-grossing movie ever until Star Wars beat it out of the #1 slot. It's been reconsidered from canon recently for black stereotypes, misogyny, and being pro-South and slavery. It begins at the with a party at the Tara plantation when the Civil War begins, Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard) is engaged to Melanie Hamilton (Olivia DeHavilland).

Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh)'s family owns the Tara plantation and flirts with Stuart Tarleton (Fred Crane) and his brother Brent (George Reeves), Hattie McDaniel is Mammy. Rhett Butler (Clark Gable) is a Southerner at the plantation who disagrees about how the South will win the Civil War despite everyone else's prediction.

Brent has a Superman costume because the actor played him in a 50s TV series.

Carroll Nye is Frank Kennedy.

This page is about how one of the final lines in the movie is Rhett leaving Scarlett and telling her, "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn".

Not only are most of those celebrities still alive (though Roseanne is basically canceled), but fat-shaming still is with half the country. Many of the stars in the splash panel aren't even in the article. “I'm Chevy Chase and you're not” is how he used to introduce himself when he did the news on Saturday Night Live.
