Hollywood 1939, semi-independent mogul David O. Selznick has shut down production on his mega budget version of Margaret Mitchell’s bestselling novel Gone with the Wind. He scraps the original script and sacks the director in the process. 

Determined to produce a rewrite in five days, he calls on the help of script doctor Ben Hecht, possibly the only person in America who has not read the novel and the movie’s new director Victor Fleming, poached straight from the set of The Wizard of Oz, where he had been dealing with squabbling Munchkins and coming to blows with Judy Garland. His reputation is on the line, Selznick locks himself and his two collaborators in his office with nothing but peanuts and bananas to sustain them and the creative session begins…  

Discover Lee Miller, the pioneering war photographer who documented the truth of the Nazi regime.  A Sky Original film starring Kate Winslet, Lee follows Miller’s extraordinary journey from model to frontline correspondent, capturing some of the most iconic and harrowing images of WWII.
