Radio review – TGA – “Pride and Prejudice” (1945) **1/2

Joan Fontaine isn’t particularly well cast as Elizabeth Bennett and the other lesser known actors seem undercast. An average production of the famous novel, with inevitable trims (i.e. no Darcy’s sister) and it passes the time well enough. My mind drifted listening to it – I started imagining if it could be adapted to the old West. John Wayne as Mr Darcy, Maureen O’Hara as Elizabeth Bennett, an array of character actors in support… It would have been fun.
