Editorial Review: Synopsis: Two-part adaptation of Jane Austen's novel about five unmarried sisters in 19th century England. Double Pack. From the Back Cover: The arrival of the wealthy Mr Darcy in the neighbourhood causes great excitement within the Bennet family. One of her five daughters, Mrs Bennet feels, is sure to capture the heart of the wealthy young aristocrat. That fate befalls the spirited Elizabeth. Judging him on first impressions and the malicious gossip of friends, she rejects his advances. However, as she busies herself with the stormy romances and scandal of her sisters, she once again finds herself in his company. Gradually her opinions of this proud young man begin to change... Amid a host of delightful characters, and against a background of grand stately homes and beautiful countryside, this famous romance runs its rocky course. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Amazing!!!!!!Im only 17years old and i am obsessed with Jane Austen! Ive watched both versions of Pride and Prejudice as it's my favourite of the Austen collection. I think Keira was better for the character Elizabeth Bennet for certain, but i think Colin firth was amazing at playing darcey as i find him so sexy, but Matthew Macfadyen created more chemistry between them both! I think in the newer version you can see the tension between them both all the time and your just shouting at the tv coz you get frustrated ...

The rest of the cast of the BBC version were excellent. Jane Austen would have been delighted to see her work come to life in this way. No more versions, please, they just seem to get worse. Rating:  - For all the raving reviews I read, it was a disappointment1) Elizabeth Bennet was much too plump. She looked like she had problem with weight. She barely looks pretty. She had no spunk. 2) Mr. Darcy was much too gloomy. He had not an ounce of life in him, not even when Elizabeth said "yes". Also he was not tall. 3) Both of them looked far too old. I like the 1985 version of the BBC production much better. The entire cast match the novel much better than the 1995 version. Rating: - simply greatI have absolutley fallen in love with this film. I have never been one for literature of this sort but have had to buy the book also. I can only say that I went to bed after watching this with thought of Darcy ( sigh ) and the whole period setting and beautifull country side, it all seemed so idealistic, only to wake the next morning with screaming children and house work. I could watch it over and over again just to escape the real world. Any romantics who wish they could have lived in those days will ...

As for the number of posts mentioning the shirt scene? Perhaps the over-frilled girls of yesteryear swooned at Colin's emergence from the pool, but this is the twenty-first century and there will need to be a stronger character to catch a modern independent woman's interest and probably a harder body to go along with it. All that and there were key scenes ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
