At the time, racial segregation was institutionalized in Hollywood as in many other parts of American society, and Hattie McDaniel had to attend the ceremony sitting at the back of the room, confined to a separate table from the other stars of the film, Vivian Leigh and Clark Gable.

Producer David O. Selznick had even had to intervene personally to get her into the Ambassador Hotel, which denied entry to blacks until 1959, when California made racial discrimination illegal.

The film, which is released Friday in theaters in the United States (this summer in France), tells the story of two crooks who join forces to avenge men who have flouted them.
