This documentary caused quite a stir in 1969 because it marked the first time MGM, who had acquired the distribution rights from David O. Selznick in the 40s, would allow footage from Cuốn Theo Chiều Gió (1939) to be broadcast on TV.
Jennifer Jones' name is Phyllis Walker on her screen test. Her real name was Phyllis Isely, and at the time she was married to actor Robert Walker. Ironically, after the two had separated, Jones' future husband, David O. Selznick, cynically hired Walker to play opposite the rechristened Jennifer Jones in the 1944 hit "Since You Went Away." No footage from this Selznick box office hit is shown and the film is not referred to in the documentary.
The first scene shot for Cuốn Theo Chiều Gió (1939) was the 'Burning of Atlanta' sequence shot with doubles for Rhett and Scarlett, who hadn't even been cast yet. The structure burning in the background is actually King Kong's Wall on Skull Island. David O. Selznick needed to clear the lot so he could build his Atlanta set, Ironically, he had been executive producer on "King Kong" when he was at RKO. Another co-incidence connected with that shot is that is when his brother Myron introduced him to his sought-after Scrlett, Vivien Leigh.
Melvyn Douglas was one of the actors under consideration for the part of Ashley Wilkes in Cuốn Theo Chiều Gió (1939), and he can be clearly seen in Lana Turner's screen test. In one of David O. Selznick's infamous memos, the producer expressed disinterest in casting the actor in the part as he photographed "too beefy" for that role in the test.
