Charlotte Bronte's novel of an orphan hired by the brooding lord of a mysterious manor house to care for his young daughter.

This 1943 version starts at 8PM September 2.

Move trivia:
Orson Welles did enough work behind the scenes that the production company offered him a producer credit, which he turned down. Welles' official reason for this is a belief that a person who is not directing the movie shouldn't be "just" a producer. The influence of Welles is very clear, with various actors from his company (Agnes Moorehead, Erskine Sanford, Edith Barrett) playing supporting roles and Bernard Herrmann, who Welles had introduced to films, composing the music. However, Welles had nothing to do with the employment of John Houseman, his former producing partner and arch-enemy, as one of the screenwriters on the film. What Welles did not mention in interviews was the widespread rumor that he had directed a few scenes, but there are a few very striking moments which are stylistically at odds with the rest of the film and which suggest his presence behind the camera - the very first scene in the film and, later, the scene which introduces Welles to the film in the role of Rochester.

Based on a novel written by Edna Ferber, this is the story of the Oklahoma Land Run of April 1889. Tuesday at 8pm!

A crowd of 1,000 extras, 700 horses and 500 wagons and buggies were used for the land rush scene.

This week we are featuring women novelists whose stories were adapted to the screen.

Around The World Sunday at 8PM: A plucky little orphan girl gets dumped abruptly into her gruff, hermit grandfather's care, then later gets retaken and delivered as a companion for an injured girl. Novel written by Johanna Spyri in 1880.

Movie trivia:
The scene in which Heidi is suddenly squirted in the face while milking a goat was planned without Shirley Temple's knowledge. A tube of milk was attached to the goat udder where Temple couldn't see it, and when she was squirted, her surprised reaction was genuine.

When Elizabeth Bennet meets the handsome Mr. Darcy, she believes he is the last man she could ever marry, but as their lives become intertwined, she finds herself captivated by the man she has sworn to hate forever.

Classic Hollywood begins at 8PM!

Movie trivia:
This movie is set in 1797, the year that Jane Austen wrote the first draft of "Pride and Prejudice." This is unusual, as most movie adaptations set it in 1813 when it was revised and finalized.
