Pride And Prejudice (1940)
Lavish M-G-M filming of the Jane Austen classic depicts the trials of the matriarch of the wealthy Bennet family as she tries to find suitable husbands for her five daughters in 18th-century England. The biggest challenge comes from iron-willed Elizabeth (GreerGarson), who must fight off her attraction to the well-to-do yet unrefined Mr. Darcy (Laurence Olivier). Mary Boland, Edna Mae Oliver, Maureen O'Sullivan, Edmund Gwenn also star.
