See how you did ...
1. What is wrong with the shadows that the carriages drive through in the scene where the guests arrive at the Wilkes' Tweleve Oaks BBQ?
THE SHADOWS DO NOT FALL ON THE CARRAIGES AS THEY MOVE THROUGH THEM BECAUSE THE BACKGROUND WAS A MATTE PAINTING AND THERE WAS NOT TIME IN POST-PRODUCTION TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SHADOWS FELL ON THE CARRAIGES.
2. What "jewelry blooper" occurs in the scenes where Scarlett is dressing for the Wilkes' BBQ, and then later in the "nap" scene at Twelve Oaks?
WHILE HURRIEDLY DRESSING FOR THE BBQ, WE DON'T SEE SCARLETT PUT ANY JEWELRY ON AROUND HER NECK AND YET LATER, AT TWELVE OAKS, SHE IS SEEN WEARING A CORAL NECKLACE.
3. In the scene in the church hospital where Melly and Scarlett kneel over a dying soldier, what specifically is wrong with their shadows on the wall behind them?
THE SHADOWS ARE IN THE WRONG PLACE, BASED ON WHERE THEY ARE AND THE SUPPOSED SOURCE OF LIGHT.
4. When did Thomas Edison invent the electric light bulb, and what has this got to do with the film version of GWTW?
EDISON DEVELOPED A PROTOTYPE LIGHT BULB IN 1879. IN THE FILM VERSION OF GWTW, IN THE SCENE WHERE SCARLETT FLEES THE ATLANTA HOSPITAL IN DISGUST, THE CAMERA PANS PAST A LAMP POST IN WHICH AN ELECTRIC LIGHT BLUB IS CLEARLY VISIBLE. THIS SCENE TAKES PLACE IN 1864, 15 YEARS PRIOR TO EDISON'S INVENTION.
5. What specifically is amiss about Scarlett's wardrobe during the sequence where she and Rhett flee Atlanta for their return to Tara?
SCARLETT FLEES ATLANTA HATLESS, AND THEN SUGGENDLY AND MYSTERIOUSLY A BLACK BONNET APPEARS ON HER HEAD AT THE DEPOT AND STAYS THERE UNTIL JUST BEFORE RHETT LEAVES HER TO JOIN THE ARMY, WHEN IT JUST AS MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARS.
6. What was the name of Frank Kennedy's Atlanta store?
THE FRANK KENNEDY COMPANY
7. Selznick felt that Vivien Leigh's retching sounds were not quite convincing enough (needed for the scene at the conclusion of Part I of the film in which Scarlett eats a radish and then vomits it up). Who graciously obliged to make the necessary retching noises for the sount track?
OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND IS THE ONE HEARD VOMITING ON THE SOUNDTRACKS.
