      In the early 19th century in the English village of Meryton, the arrival of wealthy bachelors, most notably Mr. Darcy (Laurence Olivier), stirs up the families with single daughters. Among those is the Bennet family, with five eligible daughters, including the spirited Elizabeth (Greer Garson) and her pretty older sister, Jane (Maureen O'Sullivan).

        I heard that this movie strayed from Austen's novel so I wasn't expecting it to be as good as other adaptations. On the contrary, I found this version DELIGHTFUL! Though Laurence Oliver is a bit of a "stick in the mud" (I find his character flat) Greer Garson and her co-stars more than make up for it. I actually found the bit at the end with Lady Catherine de Bourgh which strayed from the original actually a better and more entertaining story line. What a great romantic comedy! I am sad that it took me this long to discover this gem. True that the costumes are all wrong for the time period in which Austen's story takes place but the beauty of creative license is that one can set the story in any time period, just as Romeo + Juliet has been set in modern times on more than a couple occasions.

        Absolute favorite! Greer Garson playing the infamous Elizabeth was brilliant.

        good even with liberties taken but greer is too old to be a believable nineteen year old.

        Revisiting always helps. I still maintain some problems with this classy adaptation; Joe Wright was more focused and serious while this film spills humor of stereotypical females all over the place. Even so, it is so delightful at some point that you simply can't stop watching. Disappointed, and at the same time, satisfied. 79/100
