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 |

Goodbye Mr Chips [1939]starring: Robert Donat, Greer Garson, Terry Kilburn, John Mills, Paul Henreid directed by: Sam Wood November 04, 1991 |

This is one of my all-time favourite films. The exquisite, and occasionally poignant, story of a public school teacher (Mr Chipping - played wonderfully by Robert Donat) who is brought out of his stuffy mediocrity by his new young wife. We share the harsh reality of life's tribulations, including the generations of boys that pass through the school and the many young men who eagerly go off to war, never to return. The supporting cast are really wonderful, particularly Greer Garson and Paul Henreid. This is a sentimental film, but truly heartwarming. Highly recommended.

I have been raised on this play and saw many versions. I have had the real story pointed out to me and meaning behind many of the words explained. However it is this adaptation that brought it to life not just intellectually but emotionally. One of the first things you notice is the setting is a balance between stage and reality. This film being in black and white may have contributed to the atmosphere. The actors are not just popular names but are able to bring the characters to life. I was impressed with everyone's ability to the point that it took time to realize that Mark Antony is Marlon Brando; he among others is able to make the words real and meaningful, not just a bunch of Shakespearian phrases. If somehow you missed the play ... Read More: >>More Details |

Mrs Miniver [1942]starring: Greer Garson, Walter Pidgeon, Teresa Wright, Dame May Whitty, Reginald Owen directed by: William Wyler March 20, 2000 |

As the story opens early in 1939, Mrs. Miniver (Greer Garson) is a happy wife and mother living a charmed life in an English village. Her husband, Clem (Walter Pigeon), is a successful architect and she has three children she adores. When war is declared, her life is deeply affected: Her eldest son is a pilot in the Air Force, Clem is gone for days on boat patrol, and her village is subjected to enemy bombs.
Released in 1942, this movie was a big hit with its patriotic message and wholesome family values. While the Miniver family is somewhat idealized, they nevertheless feel the horror of wartime. It's rousing and sentimental without being overly preachy and won six Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Garson is just perfect as the loving woman who holds ... Read More: >>More Details |

Little Womenstarring: Meredith Baxter Birney, Susan Dey, Ann Dusenberry, Eve Plumb, Dorothy McGuire directed by: David Lowell Rich May 29, 2000 |

This is a good T.V. version of "Little Women". It is a little dated now, it has a very 70's feel to it. While it says that William Shatner stars in it, he only appears in the second of the two tapes, and even then not a major character. The rest of the cast are good, especially Jo. But overall, I would only recommend this if you like the period drama genre.
