Gone With the Wind and Tess of the D'Urbervilles???


Did anyone else feel the similarities in the scene where Paul tells Gabrielle to wear the slinky red dress he bought for her (Gone With the Wind) and the scene after Paul & Gabrielle are married, when he breaks down and realizes he can't handle her past (Tess of the D'Urbervilles)?

I'm sure that wasn't the intention, but it was interesting to see those themes in a different movie.

Taking back IMDB message boards....one ignored Troll at a time.

Tess was definitely a girl cut in two. That book is heartbreaking.
