David Selznick mainly clipped entrances and exits when he needed to edit the film to a shorter length.
Vivien told Bosley Crowther in The New York Times - 16 Jul 1939, she had tried to make Scarlett exactly as in the book. Vivien said several possible endings were shot, and she felt the real one was the right choice. (This was presumably a reference to Rhett's final curse word.) Plunkett had considered making Scarlett's last mourning gown in purple, but went with black velvet. The dress was built entirely around the large cameo, which she wore at her neck. It had belonged to Plunkett's mother, and showed a figure riding a bird, in a gold setting. The dress had a huge bustle, with collars and cuffs which were circles that were stitched and padded. Scarlett's very final dress in the movie, was shown only in silhouette. This one was actually green, and David had considered showing her in it, leaning against a fence in the foreground of Tara." - Extract from 2020 paperback book and ebook available on Amazon - "THEY SHONE WITH THE WIND.
