Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4.5/5 --
Although the satire is slightly reduced and coarsened and the period advanced in order to use more flamboyant costumes, the spirit is entirely in keeping with Austen's sharp, witty portrait of rural 19th century social mores.

Olivier wished to play against Vivien Leigh, but she was considered too beautiful and Garson got the part

Director Joe Wright makes the camera energetic, but never distracting, intimate, but never intrusive.

Rating: 77/100 --
Sometimes Leonard gets the details wrong -- the costumes and sets seem more at home in a late Victorian setting than in Austen's early 19th century -- but the overall effect is truthful, transporting us to a world different from but related to our own.

It may not be entirely what Jane Austen intended, but it's close enough and remains a pleasure.

Movie Metropolis
Typically overstuffed MGM prestige product (1940), but one that came out surprisingly well, with a minimum of Eng. Lit. posturing and some elegance of design.

Description by OLDIES.com:
The intelligent and spirited Elizabeth Bennet (Greer Garson) is one of five daughters -- which, during that era, meant trouble: because women cannot inherit, upon her father's death her family's home will become the property of their nearest male relative. Only marriage, preferably to someone wealthy, can ensure her security. But the proud young lady instantly takes offense when Mr. Darcy (Laurence Olivier), a promising newcomer in town, doesn't seem quite admiring enough, and she spurns his advances. Slowly and painfully, Elizabeth realizes her error, but not before it seems she has lost him forever.
