Pride and Prejudice

Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice (1813) has been the subject of numerous television and film adaptations. This independent film, made in 2003 and titled Pride and Prejudice: A Latter-Day Comedy, is set in modern-day Provo, Utah, apparently at Brigham Young University. The characters all appear to be Latter-day Saints, though this is never explicitly stated. The film received largely positive reviews outside Mormon enclaves such as Utah; still, some of the humor and plot devices derive from and require an understanding of Mormon social and religious mores.

Lydia! Kitty!

My dear Mr Bennet, have you heard?

:02:54

Netherfield Park is let at last. Do you
not want to know who has taken it?

:02:59

As you wish to tell me, my dear,
I doubt I have any choice in the matter.

:03:10

Kitty, what have I told you
about listening at the door?

:03:13

There's a Mr Bingley
arrived from the North.

:03:16

- Five thousand a year!
- Really?

:03:19

- He's single!
- Who's single?

:03:21

A Mr Bingley, apparently. Kitty!

:03:24

How can that possibly affect them?

:03:26

Mr Bennet,
how can you be so tiresome?

:03:28

You know he must marry one of them.

:03:31

That is his design in settling here?

:03:33

You must go and visit him at once.

:03:35

Good heavens. People.

:03:40

For we may not visit if you do not,
as you well know, Mr Bennet.

:03:44

- Are you listening? You never listen.
- You must, Papa! At once!

:03:48

There's no need. I already have.

:03:52

- You have?
- When?

:03:54

Oh, Mr Bennet,
how can you tease me so?

:03:57

Have you no compassion
for my poor nerves?
