Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Praise for Vivien Leigh classics
This is a rare DVD which offers early films of a star known mostly for her one role in Gone With the Wind. She was more verstatile than her Scarlett role indicates. In fact, she is largely an unknown actress in America. These early films give us a deeper insight into the young Vivien Leigh and her promise.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Classic British Films

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - On the Road to Scarlett
Four of Vivien Leigh's early cinematic efforts, filmed in England during 1937 and 1938.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - my two cents
I love old movies, that is pretty much all I buy. I bought this because very few of Vivien Leigh's films are on DVD. I enjoyed "Storm In A Teacup".......BUT...the film quality of this set is so poor it is completely unwatchable so don't waste your money.
