Corrected entry: Prissy comes to Belle Watling's place to ask Rhett for help. They talk while he is looking out of the 2nd-floor window and she is standing in the street. When the camera points down to her from Rhett's perspective she is standing next to a streetlight that wasn't there when she came to the house. (01:16:15)

Corrected entry: When Rhett drops Scarlett at Ashley's birthday party she is wearing a violet veil attached to her hairdo. When she enters the room where the guests are, the veil disappears when the camera angle changes while she is standing in the door. (01:21:15)
Correction: Actually, Scarlett has the tulle stole that we see over her arms arranged differently as she is entering the house - -the tulle is unfolded, draped over her shoulders, and draped over a comb on the back of Scarlett's headdress that pins three sausage curls in place. By the time the camera pans back to Scarlett in the foyer, she had removed the tulle from her head and shoulders, and allowed it to slip down her arms to reveal her bare neckline and shoulders.

Corrected entry: After the casualties lists have been issued a band is playing a march. The camera focuses on two flute players who do some repetetive moves with their fingers which have nothing to do with the tune. (00:47:45)
Correction: The reason the camera focuses on the two flute players is because they are presumably related to the band leader who has just been informed of a family member's death in battle (hence the tears) Their distress meant that they were unable to keep up with the rest of the band but moved their fingers to look as if they were playing.

Corrected entry: Prissy is sent to get Dr. Meade to help with Melanie's delivery. When she returns and walks through the gate there is a dummy soldier standing on the sidewalk, probably a leftover from an earlier mass scene. (01:11:00)
Correction: The dummy solder is actually a metal figurine used to tether horses.

Corrected entry: Maybe there is something I haven't understood. But Scarlett marries Frank Kennedy for the sole purpose of raising $300 to pay taxes on Tara. Wouldn't he have coughed up the money as well if he had married his life-long belle Suellen?
Correction: Suellen would not have asked Frank for the money because she no longer cared what happened to Tara. Near the beginning of Part Two she says as much, adding, "I hate Tara." prompting Scarlett to slap her.

Correction: Actually, the light is still visible in this scene at the top left-hand side of the screen. What changed was the closeness of the camera shot on Prissy. At first a wider shot was used making the entire light visible, then it switches to a closer shot leaving only a portion of the light visible. Finally it switches back to the original shot again; making it appear to be a discrepancy.
