1939 Hollywood is abuzz. Legendary producer David O. Selznick has shut down production of his new epic, Gone with the Wind, a film adaptation of Margaret Mitchell's novel. The screenplay, you see, just does not work.
So what is an all-powerful movie mogul to do? While fending off the film's stars, gossip columnists and his own father-in-law, Selznick sends a car for famed screenwriter Ben Hecht and pulls formidable director Victor Fleming from the set of The Wizard of Oz.
Summoning both to his office, he locks the doors, closes the shades, and on a diet of bananas and peanuts, the three men labor over five days to fashion a screenplay that will become the blueprint for one of the most successful and beloved films of all time.

Rambling and our rights of way
Join Mikron on a ‘hilarious’ ramble through the history of land access in England
From the Norman Conquest to loitering in lockdown, via The Mass Trespass at Kinder Scout.
The Pendale and District Ramblers are looking forward to celebrating ‘in stile’ on their 50th anniversary walk, but the path has been blocked by the landowner.
How will they find their way through?
Their quest for freedom and fresh air won’t be easy, as they navigate bulls, beavers, and wandering sheep.
Grab your boots and waterproof for a meander with Mikron on a hike through history.
