Moonlight & Magnolias

by Ron Hutchinson

Director: Chris Polo

In 1939,producer David O. Selznick replaced George Cukor as director of "Gone with the Wind" with Victor Fleming (who was working on a fantasy called "The Wizard of Oz") and drafted Ben Hecht to rewrite and shorten the script. Hecht would much rather have continued his work on a Marx Brothers film.

Based partly on historical fact and partly on the imagination of playwright Ron Hutchinson, Moonlight & Magnolias (re-) creates a five day period during which Selznick and Fleming act out critical scenes of GWTW for Hecht.
