From Classic Film Journal… https://classicfilmjournal.com/2020/03/24/revisiting-gone-with-the-wind/ Metro Goldwyn Mayer bought the rights to Gone With The Wind in 1942 and re-released it in the same year. The movie was re-released again in 1947, 1954 and 1961. The 1954 version is the first time Gone With The Wind was shown in widescreen, but the 1967 re-release was shown in 70mm. The cropping of the academy ratio prompted heavy criticisms for altering the movie’s composition and color.
