The guy who tested for ashley was better, the guy they picked had bad teeth

No way did she pull off a 16 year old girl.

She had no children she was probably gay

Ashley Wilkes was the only one of the main characters who was woefully miscast. If Paul Newman had been 10yrs older by 1938, he would've made the perfect Ashley, who was supposed to be in his early 20s, not the 40+ that Leslie Howard was. Heck, even Clark Gable was only in his late 30s at the time.

I do not think Paulette Goddard could have been a replacement for Vivien Leigh. Paulette must have been a great actress. But Scarlett O’Hara was not a right choice for her. By the way, I wish Lillian Gish had played the role of Ellen O’Hara, the mother of Scarlett and her two sisters in the film version of “Gone With the Wind”, instead of Barbara O’Neil. Lillian was in her mid 40s back when the film was shot. She must have played a very supportive mother for the O’Hara Family.

Gotta love how when gershwin is filming her and she turns around he quickly moves the camera down and up again checking her out lol

Great Actress!

7 chances was one of his best

Goddard knew plenty about cheating. Just ask Charlie Chaplin.

I would pay money to see Jeffrey Lynn as Ashley Wilkes and Paulette Goddard as Scarlet O'Hara that would have been amazing. But nobody could do as well as Vivien Leigh

Normally I say, "Don't mess with any Chaplin film!!" But just for experimental sake, it is kind of cool to transport us into a past time in a way that immerses one into the moment.

Great interview with many key concepts by Keaton, wonderful to hear his beautiful voice with such clarity of ideas. Thank you for posting this!

Jeffrey Flynn looked more like the man Scarlett would be besotted with than Leslie Howard.

I love Paulette, but Viven was Scarlett and Scarlett was Viven. Period.

Thank you! This is wonderful!

Colour ruins the sentiment.

Come era Bello ! viso stupendo

Worse than Vivien Worse one bilion procent

Sorry, Paulette looked too old and didn't have that "spoiled, impetuous southern girl" vibe. Viv was born for that part. Absolutely knocked it out of the park.

I didn't know there was a color version of this film. ?

GOAT?

A sweet love story. Eleanor, in her own right was an extraordinary woman.

THIS IS FABULOUS! THANKS SO MUCH FOR POSTING IT! Arbuckle and Keaton together are both graceful and hilarious.

Thanks god, David O. Selznick made the right choice with giving the role to Vivien Leigh - the one and only Scarlett!

What a wonderful interview ! THANK YOU so much for uploading for us to enjoy ! So happy that the iconic Buster & the lovely and the lovely Eleanor had such a long & happy marriage ! Very inspirational & heartwarming !

She was pretty, but i dont like her voice, Vivien Leigh, prettier and a much better Scarlett!!!

She was a fantastic actress.

All I can say is I'm glad that Vivian Leigh came along. She was the perfect Scarlett. Paulette Goddard was a little too old for the part and not as beautiful or talented as Vivian Leigh.

No need for rudeness Cukor!

Theater motivated I'm on us

Paulette Goddard with the right makeup and hair could have easily played Belle but never Scarlett. Vivien Leigh was a naturally refined woman, with good schooling, travel, theatre training; she was ethereal and natural, characteristic only to her. She had flawless skin and coloring, delicate bones, nothing proportionally exaggerated, and the camera loved from any angle... 💙💙💙

She would have made a great Scarlett, her natural beauty was just radiant in Modern Times . Great personality and dancer too. 💃

She's wonderful in the B&W scene with Ashley. But in the technicolor scene, she is cute and endearing but not present like Vivien Leigh. Viven Leigh had this intoxicating look in her eyes that commanded an audience, something Paullette was lacking.

Naomi Watts looks a lot like her.

Home movies, not home "video." Video is electronic or electromagnetic recording of moving images. These were FILMS.

Goddards Scarlet was too hard , no innocence and vulnerability.

the hottest woman i have seen ..oh man ..

Thankful to know he had a loving wife and a happier life in his later years. He deserved it. A wonderful talent🎉❤.

I felt very bad for Scarlett when Paulette said - "I'm sick of them. I'm tired of them." This is one scene where she outdid the impossible Vivien.

I never liked Vivien Leigh--to my mind, Paulette Goddard was just perfect. Even these few clips are magnificent.

A very tragic ending for such a genius…

Paulette would've made a great Mammy! 😆😉

Thank you. This movie is legendary 🏆

Paulette is beautiful but looks too old for the teenage Scarlett Vivien owned that role

Simping simping simping

Of course ol' Viv was just great. But I do blame her for the ridiculousness of Movie Southern Accents that culminated in the likes of the lovely and great but daft Kevin Spacey. And right here you can see and hear Paulette Goddard do it even better than Alabamian Tallulah Bankhead.

Paulette would have been perfect to play Scarlett in later years, but she didn’t have the youthful quality which Vivien brought to it… the epitome of the brat princess. Paulette was too womanly, and Scarlett needed girlishness.

Such a delightful visit with Paulette and George!

didn't the Chaplin Office come after you yet? it looks far too lush and sunny....for the dream scene an argument can be made for colour but certainly not for the rest of the film..Chaplin could easily have made colour films from The Great Dictator onwards but he didn't..respect that

A great interview with a wonderful performer. Buster was the best.
