bought the rights to the best selling novel for $50,000.
Louis B. Mayer
, Selznicks father-in-law and head of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, was determined to make

an MGM film. Mayer initially offered to buy Selznick out at a handsome profit. Warner Bros. offered

and advantageous financing. Selznicks own distributor United Artists showed interest in providing a production financing package. However, none of them had an actor capable of portraying Rhett Butler except MGM, which offered a deal that included
Clark Gable
. After much vacillating on Selznicks part, a deal was struck with MGM on January 19, 1938 that gave Selznick
Clark Gable

"GWTW" was, of course, a box office triumph, grossing over $20 million during its initial release alone. Selznick eventually earned $4 million on the picture. Unfortunately, a few years later he sold his rights to
John Hay Whitney
for a paltry $400,000 to keep his independent production company afloat.
