Pride and Prejudice (1940): A Photo Gallery

Last summer I reviewed and thoroughly enjoyed the MGM version of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (1940).  It was the first time I'd seen the film in a number of years.

I've put together a photo gallery of 20 stills from the film which I thought might be enjoyed by those who love the film as I do...and perhaps they will encourage viewers who haven't yet had the pleasure to try it out!

These scene shots are in no particular order, followed by a selection of publicity stills.
