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.

Trivia: The first try at getting the cannonball to shoot out of the cannon into the cab caused the ball to shoot with too much force. To cause it to shoot into the cab of the engine correctly, Buster Keaton had to count out the grains of gunpowder with tweezers.
