'Gone With The Wind' has been pulled from a Memphis theater after patrons complained the 1939 Civil War classic is racially insensitive. The Orpheum Theatre Group made the decision after patrons took issue with the screening of the movie starring Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara on August 11.

'As an organization whose stated mission is to 'entertain, educate and enlighten the communities it serves', the Orpheum cannot show a film that is insensitive to a large segment of its local population,' the theater's operators said in a statement according to News Ch. 3

  1. All the good Memphis patrons of "The Orpheum Theater Group's" theater should boycott the it and put it out of business. Such stupidity or cowardice should not be rewarded. But instead they need to be punished.

    1. Blithering idiots. I saw it for the first time with my Mother in Richmond. The main things I remember were I thought the movie would end with every glorious of a segment, that an all the girls were crying! How far we have fallen.
