I Am Jack's Molested Adaptation.
Feb. 8th, 2004 02:57 amUgh, the horror...
I caught a chunk of the 1940 version of Pride and Prejudice with Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier on channel 13. What a crappy adaptation, adding things that aren't there (like setting Mary and Kitty up with potential fiancés at the end), and not even having proper animosity between Darcy and Elizabeth... they were smiling and swapping what seemed like injokes the whole time they're supposed to be kind of testy towards each other.
I almost want to go rewatch the entire '95 miniseries all over again to try and forget that I ever watched that 1940s thing.
