Product Description

Virginia (1941)

Director:

Edward H. Griffith

Writers:

Virginia Van Upp (screenplay), Edward H. Griffith (story)

Stars:

Madeleine Carroll, Fred MacMurray, Sterling Hayden

If Selznick could make a Gone With the Wind, reasoned Paramount Pictures in 1941, anyone can. Paramount's own spin on Scarlet and Rhett was Virginia, starring British actress Madeleine Carroll as Southern belle Charlotte Dunterry. A first a showgirl, Charlotte arrives in Fairville, Virginia to take charge of her family plantation. Intending to sell the estate for a quick turnover, Charlotte is dissuaded when she falls in love with impoverished local aristocrat Stonewall Elliot (Fred MacMurray). Though devoted to Elliot, she must find a way to keep herself solvent, and to that she enters into a loveless marriage with wealthy northerner Norman Williams (Sterling Hayden). The rest of the story finds Charlotte wavering between Elliot and Williams, while the audience settles in for a good long nap. As in Gone with the Wind, Virginia is distinguished by the performance of one of its black supporting players, namely Leigh Whipper as an elderly ex-slave who returns to Fairville to die (he doesn't sing "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny", but one can hear it anyway).

  2. Rare Find 4 Star Review

    I'm impressed that Zeus held this title as it was virtually impossible to find on any other site. The color quality had issues, but then it's a very old original seldom re-copied.I highly recommend this movie for a sense of how Hollywood portrayed life in central Virginia on the eve of Word War II.I commend Zeus for carrying this title.
