Plot: This tale of love and values unfolds in the class-conscious England of the late 18th century. The five Bennet sisters – including strong-willed Elizabeth and young Lydia – have been raised by their mother with one purpose in life: finding a husband. When a wealthy bachelor takes up residence in a nearby mansion, the Bennets are abuzz. Amongst the man’s sophisticated circle of friends, surely there will be no shortage of suitors for the Bennet sisters. But when Elizabeth meets up with the handsome and – it would seem – snobbish Mr. Darcy, the battle of the sexes is joined.

Crew:

Director: Joe Wright
Writter: Jane Austen (novel), Deborah Moggach (screenplay)
Co-Stars: Keira Knightley, Talulah Riley, Rosamund Pike, Jena Malone

Trivia:

- The actresses who make up the Bennett family (Keira Knightley, Rosamund Pike, Jena Malone, Talulah Riley, and Carey Mulligan went to the Bennett house location, in Kent, before the crew, and played Sardines (similar to Hide and Seek in America) in order to get better acquainted with the house and each other before filming began.

- According to the director’s commentary, Carey Mulligan (Kitty) thought of her mother’s funeral during her first crying scene (also her first film). On subsequent takes, when she ran dry, Carey thought of what song would be played at her own funeral. It didn’t work quite as well.

- The film’s U.S. ending was ranked as one Entertainment Weekly’s greatest movie endings of all time.
