TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

It was while screening this movie that agent Myron Selznick saw Vivien Leigh and decided that she was Scarlett O'Hara. Coincidentally, she was in Hollywood to accompany her lover and future husband, Sir Laurence Olivier, who was making Wuthering Heights (1939), and Selznick brought her down to the Gone with the Wind (1939) set where the burning of Atlanta was being shot, and introduced her to his brother David O. Selznick as his Scarlett O'Hara.

Vivien Leigh and Sir Laurence Olivier credit this movie as being the inspiration for their falling in love. Although both were married to other people, they became known as "the lovers" on the set.

This is the first of three films that paired Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh. The other two are 21 Days Together (1940) and That Hamilton Woman (1941).

Flora Robson reprised her role as Queen Elizabeth I in The Sea Hawk (1940), which also depicted the Spanish Armada.

In this movie, Vivien Leigh played Cynthia, a servant of Queen Elizabeth 1 (Dame Flora Robson). In Caesar and Cleopatra (1945), Robson played Ftatateeta, a servant of Queen Cleopatra (Leigh).

Popular Dialogues

"Don Pedro: You see, Elena, the whole trouble comes from treating your enemies like human beings. Don't you see, my dear, that if you do that they cease to be enemies. Think what that leads to: the end of patriotism; the end of war; it's the end of everything.""

"Spanish Ambassador: If your majesty will not hear words, we must come to cannon and see if you will hear them. Queen Elizabeth I of England: If you use threats of that kind, I will chase you out of my kingdom. Spanish Ambassador: But, your grace. You MUST listen. Queen Elizabeth I of England: Must? Little man, little man, must is NOT a word to use to princes. Our council shall confer with you. Meanwhile, go home and be quiet!"
