This adaptation for the screen (by Aldous Huxley an Jane Murfin) of the drama for the stage (by Helen Jerome), which in turn had been adapted from Jane Austen's 1813 novel, is a lavish MGM production featuring very good performances from Greer Garson (who never really gave a bad one, hence her 7 Oscar nominations) as Elizabeth Bennet, Laurence Olivier (who did give a bad performance once in a while, but also a few great ones!) as the suitor Mr. Darcy, and that underrated British supporting actor, Edmund Gwenn, as the father of the 5(!) Bennet sisters. So what's weird about it? Well, for one thing, as another reviewer has mentioned, everyone is too old for the parts they are playing. The youngest of the actresses portraying the sisters is 23, about the age of the oldest sister in the book. The youngest sister in the story should've been aged 12 or 13! Why does this matter? Because during the time period in which the story is set, ALL these sisters would be desperate for (any) husbands, the oldest 2 (Maureen O'Sullivan's Jane and Elizabeth) being considered old, undesirable spinsters. Since no male older than a fetus would ever consider Greer Garson spinsterish, she (and to a lesser extent, Olivier too) are miscast, along with the other Bennet sisters. Compare with Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet in the former's great version of Austen's "Sense & Sensibility" in which Emma's character *is* thought of as a spinster & Kate's *is* a teenager! Anyway, on the whole, this version (one of literally dozens made over the years, both with and without the presence of zombies) is still enjoyable. I give it 7/10.
