The usual saying is:
during the filming of the movie "Gone with the Wind", the protagonist Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh had a feud. Gable then chewed garlic cloves before the filming of the kissing scene. Vivien Leigh had a hard time to speak, and he told the director afterwards. The director was also difficult to reconcile, so he had to deal with Fei Yan, and there was no regulation in the shooting contract stating that he could not eat garlic during the filming...
But there is another saying:
Gable considers himself a big star, and Vivien Leigh was only famous in the UK at the time. Haven't made a movie in Hollywood yet, and some look down upon her. In addition, Vivien Leigh’s lover, the famous Shakespearean drama, and the film actor Lawrence Oliver (at the time Vivien had not yet divorced, Lawrence also had a wife, but the two were determined to be together, so they left the UK and went to Hollywood to develop. But at that time Lawrence Oliver was far more famous than Vivien Leigh. Later, the two eventually divorced and married together. Unfortunately, after a few years, Lawrence changed his mind. The two divorced. Vivien was hit hard. As a result, his health was damaged. After a few years passed away, a generation of beautiful women disappeared.) Often go there. The troupe affected the progress of the filming and Gable's mood (both of them were the hottest male movie stars at the time, and they were very bright for a while.), so Gable finally had a temper, had a big quarrel, and drove Lawrence Oliver away, and let him go all the time. Do not come again. Vivien Leigh was angry, so he ate garlic while filming the kiss scene. Gable was very angry and helpless.
The disagreement between the director and the producer is helpful for the shooting, because the relationship between Scarlett and Rhett in the film is also similar, so no interference...The
third argument is:
Gone with the Wind is the first director George Cook (who later collaborated with Catherine Hepburn on the "Philadelphia Story") was called a "female director", so Clark Gable was dissatisfied with him and was replaced by Gable's friend director Fleming after a period of filming. So the actresses went to the producer David and cried loudly. Vivien Leigh deliberately chewed garlic before filming the kissing scene in order to retaliate against Gaibo.
ps: Except for the person involved, no one may be able to confirm it.
It seems that the beautiful Miss Vivien Leigh is slightly more likely to eat garlic.
