Maybe on TV...Mom's a little older than Sally and I think that's where she saw it(And it's trippy to type that Mom's older than Sally Draper, cause I am too. Cause she's eight right now.) But mom may have been older...memories have a way of telescoping and stuff.ETA: Or yeah, Hec, maybe it was such a favorite of Betty's she took Sally to the re-release, even though it seems Sally's a bit young for it.

Gone with the Wind was given theatrical re-releases in 1947, 1954, 1961

Well, there you go. The daughter could've easily seen it in 1961.

ETA: I missed Erika's ETA.

Oh, I have a question: did Betty's riding breeches seem period? I mean - were there stretch fabrics then?

Oh, yes. All knits have stretch and I'm sure riding breeches were made out of some kind of knit material. They just didn't have lycra and the like which allows non-knit fabrics to stretch.

Plus, they are so fanatical about being period, down to the year of the typewriters, I doubt they'd disregard something like the breeches.

To me, it just seems like the switch to stretch breeches was later in the '60s.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Shoooooooooooowshowshowshowshowshow.

Oh my, how I love this tiny little horrible narrow world in the shiny box.

I realized about halfway through that if 14 months have gone by, Peggy's child is exactly the same age as mine. Huh.

Did anyone else catch the featurette after the end? It was mostly pointless, but there was one line in it "Nah, Draper knocked her up" (right after Pete's "fat farm" comment) that must have been cut from the opening conference room scene.

Huh - DH and I both missed it somehow! Weird.
