Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Becky Sharp is a 1935 film directed by Rouben Mamoulian.It was an adaptation of an 1899 play, which was itself an adaptation of William Makepeace Thackeray's famous novel Vanity Fair. Miriam Hopkins is Becky Sharp, who, at the beginning of the film, is graduating from Miss Pinkerton's finishing school for young women. Becky is the impoverished daughter of a young French aristocrat turned fallen woman. She was admitted to the school as a charity case, but really because she would be obligated to perform unpaid labor in teaching the other students French.Becky burns with resentment towards the wealthy uppercrust of early 19th century Britain, even as she yearns to join them. She manipulates her rich classmate Amelia into inviting her home when they both graduate from Miss Pinkerton's, but she fails to get Amelia's dimwitted older brother Joseph (Nigel Bruce) to come through with a marriage proposal. So instead Becky gets a job as governess to the younger children of Sir Pitt Crawley, but this time she succeeds in wrangling a marriage proposal, from Sir Pitt's younger son Rawdon, an officer in the army.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Famous as the very first feature film made with the three-strip Technicolor process. (A more primitive two-strip process had been in use in the silent era, and the three-strip process had been used for some short films and cartoons, like Walt Disney's "Flowers and Trees".) | |

Ask a Stupid Question...: Rawdon's aunt Julia is screaming "BECKY! BECKY SHARP!" at the top of her lungs. When the maid comes in and says "Are you perhaps calling Miss Sharp, ma'am?", aunt Julia scornfully replies "No, I'm calling on heaven to preserve me calm!" | |

Bookends: In the opening scene, Becky scornfully throws the dictionary back at priggish snob Miss Pinkerton, as she leaves for the Sedley household. In the end she throws priggish, hypocritical Pitt's book of sermons back at him, after she's gotten engaged to Joseph. | |
