Pride and Prejudice Revisited, Part 1

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.
