Mr. Bennet and his daughters

Mr. Bennet and his daughters

This 50-minute, 1999 documentary from Roundabout Productions about Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, narrated by Donald Sutherland, who played Mr. Bennet in 2005’s Pride and prejudice, features authors and Jane Austen scholars discussing love and first impressions, Pride and Prejudice, and the author.  Film clips from the 1939 and 1980’s film adaptations are used in this special, which is based on the commentary of Nora Ephron (director and writer of When Harry Met Sally), Helen Fielding (author, “Bridget Jones’s Diary”), Fay Weldon (author, screenplay for “Pride and Prejudice” 1980), Roger Rosenblatt (Editor), Prof. Marcia Folsom (Wheelock College), Edith Lank (Collector and JASNA member), Thomas Carpenter (Trustee at Jane Austen’s House, Chawton) and Judith French (author/performer, “The Woman).
