I have to admit Gone With the Wind is not one of my favorite movies, but it had some of the best dialogue ever written.

Unfortunately, I find myself laughing at the part where Scarlett has Mammy make a dress from the drapes because I always think of Carol Burnett's great spoof of that scene in her parody, "Went With the Wind," where she comes down the staircase in a dress made with the drapes all right, but with the curtain rod still attached.

Harvey Korman as Rhett: "Scarlett, you look ravishing in that dress. Where did you get it?"

Carol Burnett as Scarlett: "Oh, it was just something I saw in a window."

One of the funniest bits ever, in my opinion.

Agreed. The Carol Burnett skit was one of the best. And I can't get thru GWTW without thinking about it!
