Pride and Prejudice - Angela Lansbury - Jane Austen - NBC University Theater

The novel is set in rural England in the early 19th century. Mrs. Bennet attempts to persuade Mr. Bennet to visit Mr. Bingley, a rich bachelor recently arrived in the neighbourhood. After some verbal sparring with her husband, Mrs. Bennet believes he will not call on Mr. Bingley. Shortly afterwards, he visits Netherfield, Mr. Bingley's rented residence, much to Mrs. Bennet's delight. The visit is followed by an invitation to a ball at the local assembly rooms that the entire neighbourhood will attend.
Pride and Prejudice is an 1813 romantic novel of manners written by Jane Austen. The novel follows the character development of Elizabeth Bennet, the dynamic protagonist of the book who learns about the repercussions of hasty judgments and comes to appreciate the difference between superficial goodness and actual goodness. Its humour lies in its honest depiction of manners, education, marriage, and money during the Regency era in England.
NBC University Theater was a brand the National Broadcasting Co. applied to a category of radio programming. Although not actually a university, some colleges and universities collaborated in some of the programming, either contributing to its content or including the programming in their curriculum. NBC University Theater's most well-known radio series was The World's Great Novels. NBC used the name "University Theater" or similar from about 1923-1947. (Wikipedia)

[@helenlauer9545]

i cannot believe she was 21 when she wrote this.

[@archie6945]

Do we know she was? It wasn't published until she was in her 30s

[@donnalayton6876]

For this book to be condensed into 1 hour 90% of the book must be left out.

[@judispencer2113]

I love Pride and Prejudice, this music is much too loud!

[@CatholicForever1]

Love Pride and Prejudice and its amazing spin-off novel, "Wickham's Second Attempt" #WickhamsSecondAttempt!

[@hollypetersen4777]

The names might be the same, and some of the lines maybe, but other than that, it doesn't really work. Does it? Have to give this version a thumbs down.

[@charlottebruce979]

Really bad adaption in too many ways to say, with just one one highlight..... it ends!

[@OanhNguyen-ef4zp]

This is the worst adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Terrible !
