"EMMA" (2020) Review

Between 2009 and 2020, Hollywood and the British film/television industries have created a handful of productions that either spoofed 또는 were inspired 의해 Jane Austen's novels.

"PRIDE AND PREJUDICE" (1940) Review

There have been at least eight adaptations of "Pride and Prejudice", Jane Austen's 1813 novel. But as far as I know, only four are well known 또는 constantly mentioned 의해 many of the novelist's present-day fans. And one of the four happens to be the movie adapted in 1940 의해 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

Directed 의해 Robert Z. Leonard, "PRIDE AND PREJUDICE" told the story of the five unmarried daughters of a 19th century English landowner and the efforts of his shrill wife to get them married before his estate is inherited 의해 a distant male cousin. For years, this version...
