Pride and Prejudice

This is a beta version of NNDB

Pride and Prejudice (26-Jul-1940)

Director: Robert Z. Leonard

Writers: Aldous Huxley; Jane Murfin; Helen Jerome

From novel: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Musical Score: Herbert Stothart

Producer: Hunt Stromberg

Keywords: Romantic Comedy

The Bennet family seeks husbands for their five unmarried daughters. Charming and delightful, but a lot of Austin's edge has been filed off in this MGM fabrication, not faithful to the novel and which actually is an adaptation of the stage adaptation. Won an Oscar for Best Art Direction.
