The birthing scene was bizarre


Not only did it (the scene) go on and on and ON with a lot of overacting by Jennifer Jones (interspersed with long breathy whispered conversation), nothing like child birth was happening. All the doctors and nurses were standing there, silent, not moving, like statues. Once in a while they put a mask on her face. Rather bizarre, like she was having some kind of existential birth nightmare.

i agree,
birth scene was silly and overdone. "oh i'm gonna die" whilest few weeks before she jumped around the alps chippery like a goat

how could creator of gone with the wind make such poor scene?

and they way how she looked before she croaked, she looked more like she plays in exorcist or her baby came out through her mouth. bad, bad, simply bad..
