The chaiseвЂ™s passengers consist of two handsome gentlemen and one lady, all obviously Quality.

In the midst of trying to decide between flowered damask and muslin, Mrs BennetвЂ™s attention is diverted by the arrival of a chaise in the street outside. In the country town of Meryton, the loud Mrs Bennet (Mary Boland) is at a shop with her two eldest daughters, Jane (Maureen OвЂ™Sullivan) and Elizabeth вЂElizaвЂ™, or вЂLizzieвЂ™ (Greer Garson), buying cloth. Whether or not itвЂ™s an adaptation IвЂ™d recommend for someone looking to watch Pride and PrejudiceвЂ¦ well, weвЂ™ll come to that later. This also fits the theme of this blog, since itвЂ™s a pre-70s film. So, to celebrate the bicentennial of Pride and Prejudice, a review of the first adaptation that I ever watched. ItвЂ™s spawned sequels, prequels, and more. ItвЂ™s been twisted and given new shapes, set in milieus ranging from a typical Indian household to a college in the US. Originally titled First Impressions, the novel was written by Austen in 1796-7, and was eventually (after numerous revisions by the author) finally published by Thomas Egerton of Whitehall.Дў00 years later, Pride and Prejudice still remains one of those classic romances that never seem to go out of fashion: itвЂ™s been adapted numerous times for cinema and television (including in languages other than English вЂ“ Dutch, Hindi and Italian are some examples). Jane AustenвЂ™s wonderful romance novel was first published on January 28, 1813. Happy 200 th birthday, Pride and Prejudice!ДЄs crazy as that might sound, it is the truth.
