Pride and Prejudice 1940 - Lizzie and Darcy part 1

[JimmyPage996]

ma che razza di cappello ha in testa?? O.o

[carolineptenchick]

beautiful movie.. but very different from the book.. also the dresses they are wearing dont match the fashions of the times described in the book.. jennifer ehle is the best lizzy in my opinion and colin firth the best darcy ... but jane in this movie is the prettiest :) also i like bingley more in this movie..

They re-used the costumes from Gone with the Wind

[janet444]

How does this scene have anything to do with Pride & Prejudice? It's not just that it doesn't happen in the book, it's the fact that Darcy & Lizzie seem to like each other just fine. I don't get it. I guess I should take out this movie, but I'm not sure I want to see a version that is so far from the book.

[bocatsmom]

Thanks for the upload. This is an interesting version, but I just can't get past those ridiculous costumes. Gaaa! :-P

[PiratesAndCowboys]

TOO AMERICAN. Gah.

[mc0558]

This version is totally at odds with the novel. But, it's very charming. Something that would appeal to Americans of the epoch bent on a night out at the movies. The script, I believe, was written by Aldous Huxley.

the dresses are wrong but so beautiful

[caritakar9319]

Collins corriendo tras Elizabeth? y Darcy mirando? nada que ver totalmente fuera de lugar la escena, los vestuarios, Elizabeth parce una coqueta descocada no me gusta. No es el libro es una versión libre.

Regarding the dresses, I think most of the costumes here were 'reused' from Gone with the Wind, hence, having the costumes ALL WRONG!

[hedwigkiesler]

@Prilpril21

sorry, but this is wrong. costume design for gone with the wind was done by walter plunkett and the whole wardrobe belonged to selznick int. (until david selznick's death). the costumes here are designed by adrian and belonged to the mgm wardrobe department. in addition to this, the eras of both flms are completely different ones; gone with the wind covers the american fashions around the civil war (1860s) while this movie shows the fashions from the 1830s

[Prilpril21]

@hedwigkiesler I know it is wrong. I don't care, though. IT's a lovely movie in itself, despite the wrong costumes...

[hedwigkiesler]

@Prilpril21 totally agree ;)

this is the best adaption of them all! best direction, best casting and the best acting by a mile. after having seen greer garson as lizzie, jennifer ehle seems so pale and meaningless...and keira knightley was just the worst choice ever!

[Prilpril21]

@hedwigkiesler I'm glad you feel that way. Yes, Greer Garson is such a beauty. :D And even though she's actually 36 yrs old in this role, she's still my favorite Elizabeth Bennett! :D

[mrskinoti]

You people are sooo right. The dresses are sooo wrong!

[lismir71]

Ahora que veo esta escena, entiendo que no tuviera buenas criticas. Como que no es muy apegada al libro... Y no sé si la sociedad de esa epoca se preste para el trasfondo de la historia. Por lo que veo aquí, este es el sur en sus mejores momentos... No lo sé, eso me recuerda a lo que el viento se llevó.

[carolinaladivina]

@lismir71 como que el sur? si esto es en la inglaterra de la epoca victoriana!! maaadre mia..

[lismir71]

@carolinaladivina A mi me parece mas a EL sur Que un Inglaterra. Sus vesturarios no se parecen a los de la Miniserie 1995, ni a la pelicula del 2005. En esta escena me recuerda mas a Lo que el viento se llevó. Y no se que es esa ridiculez de Elizabeth escondiendose detrás de los arbustos, eso no está en el libro. Y como era versión de Holiwood creí que la habían ambientado a Estados Unidos, porque a simple vista, es lo que parece.

[carolinaladivina]

@lismir71 desde luego, la escenita de los arbustos no tiene ninguna gracia, muchisimo mejor la adaptacion!

[lismir71]

La verdad, es que por ser version Holliwood creí que la habian ambientado a E. U. Por que a simple vista esto parece una escena de lo que el Viento se llevó. Además su vestuario no se parece al de la Miniserie de 1995, ni a la pelicula del 2005. Y la escena de Elizabeth escondiendose no solo no está en el libro sino que es tonta

[lismir71]

@carolinaladivina Como es version Holliwood creí que la habian ambientado en EE. UU; pero ya leí que no. Pero viendola por encima esto parece más El Sur de que Inglaterra. Hasta parece una escena de Lo que el viento se llevó. La ropa no se parece ni a la de la miniserie de 1995, ni a la pelicula del 2005. Y la escena de Elizabeth escondiendose no solo no está en el libro de Austin; sino que es tonta.

[lismir71]

[JaneEyreFan19]

is that the first scene?? not really, is it? What has that to do with the book?!

[nodrarb140]

Nooooooooo.... i like the real story... so much changed here...

[mewoone]

thank you ..........

[Belsis]

es muy extraña esta adaptacion, desde la ropa, los modales, etc. Està bien que respeto el hecho de que es muy antigua. pero. jajajja me da gracia

[jadeyes914]

omg they changed sooo much

[TVwriter23]

It's Regency era why is she wearing that dress? Beautiful movie though?

[Reezija]

That's what i thought...

[solitaryscientist]

They've moved it forward a lot in this adaptation. Someone at the beginning made a reference to the battle of Waterloo which was 1815 I think. With that and the dresses it seems nearly Victorian.

[Mrjln0]

I heard they used the same dresses as in 'Gone by the Wind', to save money...

[classicalgirl01]

For some reason, they set this movie in Victorian England. The film was on TCM (Turner Classic Movies) and I pressed information and it said

" This classic adaption......................­.Set in Victorian England"

I was like why on earth?????
