[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 443564, member: 7"] I'm not terribly familiar with Jean Arthur myself. I think I've only seen her in TOO MANY HUSBANDS (1940) (a gender-reversing of MY FAVORITE WIFE, that was released the same year), and pieces of YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU (1938) and SHANE (1953), the latter which was her final film. She was such a big box office draw by 1937-38 she was one of the four finalists in the running to play Scarlett, along with Joan Bennett, Paulette Goddard, and Vivien Leigh. You can see pieces of Arthur's screen tests in the MAKING OF A LEGEND documentary, which I'll link below. As late as November 1938 -- just two months before Vivien Leigh was cast -- Jean Arthur was still in heavy consideration for the part. [MEDIA=youtube]ENJlC_7E_VI[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
