1940's version of Pride & Prejudice is a comedy and does not follow the book with the same seriousness the other productions (try to) do. Greer Garson is a good Elizabeth Bennet most of the time, but this Lady Catherine De Bourgh...
A versão de 1940 de Orgulho & Preconceito é uma comédia e não segue o livro com a mesma seriedade com que as outras versões (tentam fazer) fazem. Greer Garson é uma boa Elizabeth Bennet na maioria do tempo, mas essa Lady Catherine De Bourgh...
Lady Catherine (that great old dragon Edna May Oliver) is far more comic and harmless in this version, but MGM broadened everything in this adaptation. Animated and bouncy, Austen comes across more like Dickens. Once one adjusts to this, it's a happy and carefree experience, and certainly the most fun of all the different versions.
