Mom’s favorite: P&P
Jami Bernard of the New York Daily News says that her mother Gloria’s favorite film is the 1940 version of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE:
Romance: Gloria’s hands-down favorite is “Pride and Prejudice” (1940), based on the Jane Austen novel about a family of nubile girls trying to make the right match. Greer Garson hates, hates, hates new neighbor Laurence Olivier, until she realizes - perhaps too late? - that she loves, loves, loves him. A terrific remake is coming this fall with Keira Knightley and Matthew MacFadyen, which will no doubt be on the bill for next year’s Mother’s Day.
Happy Mother’s Day to Janeite moms!
