STEVE HAYES: Tired Old Queen at the Movies

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (1940)
Jane Austen get's the MGM glamor treatment in Robert Z. Leonard's version of the classic "Pride and Prejudice" (1940), starring Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier. Boasting one of the greatest casts of character actors ever assembled, including Edna May Oliver, Edmund Gwen, Mary Boland, Maureen O'Sullivan, Melville Cooper and Marsha Hunt, this may not be the definitive version of the novel, but it's wildly entertaining. All the high class and expensive gloss that MGM at the height of it's glory days could muster makes this a must see entertainment. A good time will be had by all!
