A streamlined but effective version of the very long novel*, with Leigh presenting a vulnerable and mostly sympathetic Anna. Richardson even makes Anna's stick of a husband somewhat sympathetic. Julien Duvivier directed and co-wrote.
*Levin disappears for about an hour, even though his religious and romantic struggles are a secondary thread in the book.
