Pride and Prejudice (1940)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Very best movie i ever watch

Memorable, crazy movie

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The 1940 "Pride and Prejudice" is a good, if 'Hollywoodized' version of Jane Austin's famous novel. Greer Garson is at least 15 years too old to play Elizabeth Bennet, the film is set 30 years later than the novel (supposedly to allow use of the sumptuous gowns left over from "Gone with the Wind") and the ending has been sweetened. Never-the-less, the film remains quite enjoyable. Although not really looking the ingénue, Garson is quite good, as is Olivier, who plays the misunderstood Mr. Darcy. The rest of the cast are fine, especially Ed Quinn as Mr. Bennet. All in all, a good version of the oft-filmed romance.

I like all the movies that have been made for Jane Austin's "Pride and Prejudice." This one is my favorite. The humor that Greer Garson brings to it is delightful and the chemistry between her and Laurence Olivier is very evident and captivating. The mother and father roles "Mr. and Mrs. Bennet" played by Mary Boland and Edmund Gwenn are precious and very funny. Of course, the way the movie explores the depth and sometimes the shallowness of relationships and life are memorable and full of Truth. Love it!!!!

Pride and Prejudice (1940): Dir: Robert Z. Leonard / Cast: Greer Garson, Lawrence Olivier, Mary Boland, Edna May Oliver, Maureen O'Sullivan: Overrated contrived drivel about status, class and wealth. It is one of those opposites attract romantic films where one hates the other while viewers already know what these airheads fail to realize. And listening to Greer Garson accuse Lawrence Olivier of being proud, while he counters about her being a tight ass quickly turns the film into a corny manipulative chore to sit through. Director Robert Z. Leonard does his best and he is backed by superb sets and art direction as well as appealing locations. The screenplay however jerks us around with Greer refusing to dance with Olivier and vice versa before they embrace with that final shot long kiss that is gut wretchingly predictable at best. In supporting roles there is Mary Boland who apparently wants her daughters not only to marry, but to do so in a wealthy family. She spends much of the film feeling ill and making viewers feel the same. Then there is Edna May Oliver as Lady Catherine who comes off as stuck up and arrogant. Maureen O'Sullivan plays Garson's sister and she is about as bland as the rest of the cast here. The point of the film addresses our finger-pointing methods of distinguishing a person's worth but the real oversight is the popularity of this undeserving charade. Score: 5 / 10

A sublime black and white film. A film about a beautiful time in which kindness and nobility were mandatory. Purity and arranged marriages and also less hurried were part of the painting that period of time. This movie is great for lovers of classic films. I do not want to reveal the action yet but I can say that it is a movie with a happy ending. I'm excited fashion of the time , attention and habits that everyone must follow. And yet there is something that makes ordinance established to give everything up, love. Is a perfect film for a relaxing evening in the family. I encourage you to watch and I wish you " Enjoy ". Worth seeing.
