De vier dochters Bennet (trans. The Four Bennet Daughters) is a 1961 miniseries adaptation of Jane Austen's 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice. Lo van Hensbergen translates the screenplay as adapted by Cedric Wallis for the 1958 BBC series. In early 19th century England, Mr and Mrs Bennet's five unmarried daughters vie for the affections of rich and eligible Mr Bingley and his status-conscious friend, Mr Darcy, who have moved into their neighbourhood. While Bingley takes an immediate liking to eldest daughter Jane, Darcy has difficulty adapting to local society and repeatedly clashes with second-eldest Elizabeth.
