Best movie ever!

I like all the movies that have been made for Jane Austin's "Pride and Prejudice." This one is my favorite. The humor that Greer Garson brings to it is delightful and the chemistry between her and Laurence Olivier is very evident and captivating. The mother and father roles "Mr. and Mrs. Bennet" played by Mary Boland and Edmund Gwenn are precious and very funny. Of course, the way the movie explores the depth and sometimes the shallowness of relationships and life are memorable and full of Truth. Love it!!!!

since I read the book at the age of ten I have been trying to work out which was the worst adaptation of the novel:The 2005 one where all the actors seem scared of some thingthe 1995 where all the actors are to old1980 one where all the acting is stilted but this one left the all behind. the script is awful ('"but you are too proud" "and you are too prejudiced" '), There is little or no respect for the novel and costumes are form a completely different era. My usual rule is that the older adaptations of films are always better. I have found the exception that proves it. this film is nothing like the book. Jane Austen would turn in her grave if she saw it. Anyone who likes it should go and read the book again.

I haven't read Austin's novel of this name since high school, over four decades ago, so I really have no way of knowing how faithful an adaptation this is.Nor, frankly, do I particularly care.If you can divorce the two works and not expect the movie to reproduce the novel, you are left with one really remarkable film.First and foremost, the script, by Aldous Huxley, no mean novelist himself, is brilliant. I don't know how much of it is borrowed or adapted from Austin and how much is Huxley's clever creation, but it's just plain wonderful. Witty without being nasty or supercilious, it's a joy from beginning to end.Second, the script's wonderful dialogue is delivered with zest and nuance by great actors, chief among them Greer Garson and Lawrence Olivier. They seem to the manner born - which evidently they were.Then there is Edna May Oliver. She did so many different things so well, such as Pross in *A Tale of Two Cities.* She steals every scene in which she appears here, sending even Olivier into the shade. She's just a joy to watch.As, frankly, is this whole movie.

I dissent.I confess, this is the first film since "Zabriski Point" back in 1970 that I can say, "I don't get it!" I haven't read Jane Austen. So I don't have that to back up my lack of understanding of this film. Is this supposed to be a comedy? Or a drama? Or is this simply the most insipid group of characters ever to grace the silver screen? My view shocks me when I look at the cast. Greer Garson is my all-time favorite actress. Laurence Olivier had few peers. Edna May Oliver is one of my very favorite character actresses. Maureen O'Sullivan appeared in many first-rate films. Edmund Gwenn is a gem.And yet, I found this film "silly". Or was I supposed to? I'm sorry, but I'm giving this film one of the lowest ratings I've ever given any film. "5".
