"In 1936, shortly before [US producer] Thalberg's* early death from pneumonia, his literary scout Al Lewin brought him the synopsis of a book about to be published.  He was greatly excited about its potential as a film and as a vehicle for Clark Gable.  The book's title was Gone With the Wind.  Thalberg agreed to read the synopsis, but kept putting it off.  Lewin went on reminding him and asking him about it until at last Thalberg said that he had read it and he agreed with everything Lewin had said about it.  'But,' he continued, 'I have just made Mutiny on the Bounty and The Good Earth.  And now you're asking me to burn Atlanta.  No, absolutely not!  No more epics for me now.  Just give me a little drawing-room drama.  I'm just too tired.' "

~ Irving J. Thalberg (1899 - 1936) had an important place in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's most famous films.
