This image is from the 1939 film Goodbye, Mr. Chips starring Robert Donat as the titular schoolmaster. In the above scene, Mr. Chipping is on a walking tour in Austria when he happens upon Katherine Ellis, a young suffragette, while hiking in the alps. Stranded together in a dense fog, they begin to talk and shy Mr. Chips finds himself strangely drawn to the vivacious Kathy, who seems equally enchanted by him.

The above image is from the 1940 version of Pride and Prejudice starring Greer Garson as Elizabeth Bennett. Although not extremely faithful to the novel, it does have it's charms and I've always enjoyed it. In this scene, Elizabeth is confronted by Darcy's aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh who demands to know if Lizzie intends to marry her nephew. In the novel of course Lady Catherine is completely against Darcy proposing to Elizabeth. In this version however, the plot is changed slightly so that Lady Catherine is only pretending to be outraged by the idea so that she can judge whether or not Elizabeth truly cares about Darcy.
