Summer Meeting: Panel Discussion on Jane as
Good Box Office

We had a splendid turn out for our July 16 meeting which included a delicious buffet lunch at Reza Restaurant on North Clark , with over 40 people attended. William Phillips, Ronnie Jo Sokol, and Natalie Goldberg participated in a panel discussion of their views on movie adaptations of Austen from the first Pride and Prejudice in 1940 starring Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier to the 2004 Bride and Prejudice from British director Gurinder Chadha. The audience joined in for a lively question and comment session.
