Gone with the Wind (film) - Gone with the wind

Japanese: 《風と共に去りぬ》（映画） - かぜとともにさりぬ

...In Hollywood, which was entering its Golden Age with its ties to Wall Street financial capital, MGM's trademark was a roaring lion emblazoned with the motto "Art for Art's Sake." Based on the tradition of the "star system" that its predecessor, Metro, had laid the foundation for in the early 1920s with films starring Rudolph Valentino, MGM boasted "more stars than there are stars in the sky" such as Greta Garbo, Clark Gable, Gloria Swanson, and Robert Taylor, and aimed solely at producing "wholesome entertainment films." In particular, the studio placed such importance on female audiences that it was called the "women's studio" (its monumental masterpiece was Gone with the Wind, 1939). It also grew with musical films as one of its characteristics, starting with Broadway Melody, Ziegfeld's Big Bad Show (1935), The Wizard of Oz (1939), and Arthur Freed's productions of The Big Bad Show (1949), An American in Paris (1951), Singin' in the Rain (1952), The Band Wagon (1953), and The Good Daddy (1958). Its heyday was in the 1930s and early 1940s, but during the recession caused by a decline in audiences, Dori Schary (1905-1980), who became vice president of production in 1942 after Thalberg's death, demonstrated her skills with low budgets and a rationalistic production policy.

From a color movie

...The first feature film made using this system, Vanity Fair (1935), pioneered a unique field in which psychological depictions were emphasized through color effects, and color film was considered to have come of age. The Trail of the Lonesome Pine (1936) was the first film shot outdoors using Technicolor, and after films such as The Desert Garden (1936), A Star is Born (1937), and the British film The Wings of Dawn (1937), the success of Gone with the Wind (1939) brought color film to a peak, and Technicolor became synonymous with color film. In 1939, the Academy Awards were awarded a color cinematography category.

…ウォール街の金融資本と結びついて黄金時代を迎えたハリウッドで，MGMは〈芸術のための芸術〉というモットーで飾ったほえるライオンをトレードマークとし，20年代初めに前身のメトロ社が，ルドルフ･バレンティノ主演の諸作によって基礎をつくった〈スターシステム〉を伝統に，グレタ･ガルボ，クラーク･ゲーブル，グロリア･スワンソン，ロバート･テーラー等々，〈空の星より多いスター〉を誇り，ひたすら〈健全な娯楽映画〉の製作を目ざした。とくに〈女性の撮影所〉と呼ばれたほど女性観客を重視し(その記念碑的代表作が《風と共に去りぬ》1939)，また，《ブロードウェー･メロディ》に始まり《巨星ジーグフェルド》(1935)，《オズの魔法使》(1939)を経て，アーサー･フリード製作の《踊る大紐育》(1949)，《巴里のアメリカ人》(1951)，《雨に唄えば》(1952)，《バンド･ワゴン》(1953)，《恋の手ほどき》(1958)に至るミュージカル映画を特色の一つにして発展した。30年代と40年代前半が最盛期であったが，観客の減少による不況期には，タルバーグ亡きあと42年に製作担当副社長になったドーリ･シャリー(1905‐80)が低額予算と合理主義による製作方針で腕をふるった。…

…そして，このシステムによる最初の長編劇映画《虚栄の市》(1935)で心理描写を色彩効果によって強調する独自の領域が開拓され，カラー映画も〈成人〉に達したと評価された。続いて《丘の一本松The Trail of the Lonesome Pine》(1936)ではテクニカラーによる最初の野外撮影が行われ，《砂漠の花園》(1936)，《スタア誕生》(1937)，イギリス映画《暁の翼》(1937)などを経て，《風と共に去りぬ》(1939)の成功によってカラー映画は一つの頂点に達し，〈テクニカラー〉は〈カラー映画〉の同義語になった。なお，39年にはアカデミー賞にカラー撮影部門が設けられている。…
