A classic from the golden age of Hollywood

The British classics have been changed into the typical American Hollywood Golden Age style, and the happy ending can't wait for all the daughters of the Bennett family to be married out immediately. Despite this, I still like this film: I am fascinated by Lawrence Oliver's British gentleman's demeanor and Shakespeare's dramatic tone; I appreciate Greer Garson's unique temperament and the courage to play Elizabeth at the age of 36; what's more commendable is that the film retains the original sense of humor. Maybe Jane Austen's loyal readers will think that this movie has changed too much from the original, maybe the actors are not good enough, the performance is a little exaggerated, and the performance is not fresh and natural, but I think it is a classic of the golden age of Hollywood. work.

Mr. Collins: I understand, my dear Miss Elizabeth, that it is the delicate and charming custom of young ladies to say no when they mean yes, even three or four refusals. I am, therefore, by no means discouraged.
