It's been almost three years since the first time we looked at Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, and this time we're doing it right! We're revisiting the classic romance with a three-part look at the classic filmed adaptations, and the some of the more out-there adaptations, too!
In this episode—Part One of Three—we discuss:
- Jane Austen's 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice.
- Pride and Prejudice (MGM, 1940), directed by Robert Z. Leonard, written by Aldous Huxley and Jane Murfin, and starring Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier.
- Pride and Prejudice (BBC, 1980), directed by Cyril Coke, written by Fay Weldon, and starring Elizabeth Garvie and David Rintoul.
