What's left behind the scenes

  • According to actress Ann Rutherford (1917-2012), the producers intended to start filming on a specific day, but there was a delay when it turned out that producer David O. Selznick (1902-1965) had used all existing Technicolor film stock for the filming of Victor Fleming (1889-1949), George Cukor (1899-1983), and Sam Wood (1883-1949)'s "Gone with the Wind" (1939). This is why the film features lavish sets and dazzling costumes, but was not shot in color.
  • So many English people were involved in the filming that a tea break precisely at 4 p.m. became a daily ritual.
  • MGM Studios assumed that, unlike the source novel (1813) by Jane Austen (1775-1817), this would be a romantic comedy (whereas 'Pride and Prejudice' was a sharply focused social satire). As a result, scenes with dancing were added to the plot, a key scene unfolding at a manor house was removed, and some of Elizabeth’s pointed remarks were softened.
  • It is claimed that costume designer Adrian (1903-1959) asked director Robert Z. Leonard (1889-1068) to set the film in a later period than that described in the source novel, in order to showcase more lavish costumes than those of the author’s described period.
