Gone with the Wind Scarlett kills the Yankee deserter

[rosysulla]

Gets to me every time that Melanie is the one to suggest robbing him and that Scarlett is shocked not because Melanie said it but because she didnt think of it first. Its so hilarious and tells of how both women are deeply complex despite having different temperaments.

I love how they heard a gun shot and immediately went "it HAS to be Scarlet" XD

[Schoolgirl]

This was the first scene where Scarlett actually started to genuinely love Melanie. I love how they bonded over her murdering a Yankee deserter. LOL!😂😂

" I don't wanna think about that now, I'll think about that tomorrow "
there is a little fraction of Scarlett somewhat in each one of us 🙄😏😅

Love the look on Scarlett's face standing on the stars. Dumb soldier thought she was helpless but to me she looked like a snake poised to strike. Melanie is the star of this scene as she was in every scene she's in during the movie and the book. Maybe my favorite female character ever. I just adore her

[Lilyyym]

My favorite part of this scene is that this is the first time Scarlett and Melanie actually interact and they both genuinely love each other. It was always a one sided love but this scene is the beginning of their almost sister like relationship. I also just love how the actors move in this scene idk why I just find it memorizing. Anyway love this movie even if it is extremely problematic.

Scarlett, Melanie, and Mammy = three strong women. Mammy was the only one to see thru Scarletts southern belle act at the scheming, tough woman underneath Although it’s scarletts strength and shrewdness that allows the family to survive

I LOVE how Melanie covered for her here! She was so damn cool:)

The way Melanie enters the landing carrying the sabre always gets me.

[classics]

The moment Scarlett truly began to care for Melanie.

Melanie was one of the strongest characters in the movie. Even though she didn’t kick butt, she had great mental and emotional fortitude. She survived things most people would have died from. Because of her condition, I doubt that she would have been able to properly fight the intruder, but she tried anyways, knowing that she could have died, to defend Scarlett and Tara.

“Mellie, you couldn’t drag a cat.” Love that line.

1:02 Scarlett looked so furious that the soldier took her late mother's jewelry box
1:44 That's the fact that even despite her illness and kind caring nature Melanie would kill without any second thought if her dearly loved ones are in danger
"Scarlett you killed him... (waiting for condemnation)...I'm Glad you killed him"

[heyheymey]

So proud of their composure here. I wish women characters like these are often these days. They're definitely not Mary Sues

[marcelohughes]

two brave women doing what they have to do. The man was condemned from the moment he took Ellen´s box..Scarlett gave him a quick glance and had no doubts..

[joanna]

I love how kind and loving Melanie was to Scarlett, even though she never knew.

[markc-ruqz]

Vivien Leigh is so incredible in this movie as many times as I have seen it she never fails to astonish me. She is Scarlett!!

[ABC]

It's the wildness in her eyes for me. It's like melanie absolved her, and the rush of what just transpired hit her.

[Cowboy]

I would not call that murder, scarlett m'dear.

[bennymartinez]

As a kid, I remember that scene being terrifying. That was a huge risk, if they got caught they would be hanged.
