On June 27, 1939, one of the most famous scenes in movie history
was filmed: Rhett Butler and Scarlett O’Hara parting in Gone with
the Wind. Director Victor Fleming also shot the scene using the
alternate line, “Frankly, my dear, I just don’t care,” in case the film censors objected to the word “damn.” The censors approved the
movie but fined producer David O. Selznick $5,000 for including
the curse.
