Pride and Prejudice

“The Gayest Comedy Hit of the Screen! Five Gorgeous Beauties on a Mad-Cap Manhunt!”

Why does Mr. Darcy (Laurence Olivier), newly arrived in the neighbourhood with his friend Mr. Bingley, keep clashing with Elizabeth Bennet (Greer Garson)? Mrs. Bennet (Mary Boland) cares about one thing, getting all five unmarried daughters married, and Bingley's attention to the eldest sets the house in motion. Robert Z. Leonard directs this 1940 adaptation of Austen's novel, working from a screenplay by Aldous Huxley and Jane Murfin.
