I hadn't seen this film since I was a child, and didn't have the highest expectations having heard throughly mixed comments surrounding it. I can honestly say that it was an absolutely lovely surprise. No, it isn't completely faithful to the novel, but neither is any other adaptation (not even the much loved 1995 version- I don't remember any scene in the novel where Darcy takes a bath or a dip in the lake), and it's true that the costumes are far more Civil War than English Regency, but this is one of the rare examples in which it doesn't really matter because it's just so charmingly done.
Greer Garson is simply magnificent as Elizabeth Bennet- poised, intelligent, gracious and witty and is excellently matched by Laurence Olivier's ... Read More: >>More Details |

This beautiful and poignant farewell from one of the most memorable and beloved of screen couples in film history was the perfect way to say goodbye. Their previous pairings had been filled with joy, grace and elegance; a delightful escapism which helped get everyone through the depression and set a tone of charm and romance no one else has ever come close to. Appropriately enough, their last in the incredible cycle is tender and sweet, faint echoes of their previous entries mixed with the melancholy of something special disappearing forever, never to pass this way again. Astaire and Rogers tell the story of Vernon and Irene Castle, who set dance and fashion trends all across Europe and America during a more innocent time in the world. Their's ...

Released in 1935, George Cukor's adaption of what Dicken's claimed was his favourite of his novels is an absolute gem. Cukor has assembled a wonderful cast to tell the story of David from his chilhood to manhood and the sometimes harrowing adventures he has on the way. There are many unforgettable charectarisations most notably W.C. Fields as Micawber, Edna May Oliver's Aunt Bessie, Roland Young as the sceming Uriah Heep and Basil Rathbone as the downright unpleasant Mr Murdstone. Freddie Bartholomew as the boy David is actually far more effective than Frank Lawton's portrayl of the man David who is rather bland in the role but that is certainly not enough to spoil the film. A huge box office hit in it's day the film was produced by David Selznick (and was ... Read More:
