You NEED to see this one!
I'm reticent to look at any production and say, "This is the definitive interpretation of the book!" but A&E's Pride and Prejudice makes a good case for such a statement.

Austen fans will be enthralled with a production that adheres to the book AND is entertaining to watch. The costumes, sets, music, and direction are excellent. The casting couldn't have been better. Jennifer Ehle makes a perfect Lizzie, Colin Firth is perfect as Mr. Darcy, and the two have excellent chemistry. The Bennets are well cast as individuals and work well as an ensemble; I have no trouble believing them as a family unit. Julia Sawalha is a particular standout as Lydia, and you'll really enjoy watching Mary (Lucy Briers) try to flirt with the brilliantly cast Mr. Collins ( David Bamber).

The "movie" originally aired as a five-part mini series, so, while it runs fairly smoothly, there are still parts where you could easily stop the DVD if you just don't have a 5-hour block to watch TV. There aren't a lot of extras, but the ones present are worth viewing.

If you can buy only one Austen production, choose this one. It's awesome.


A Classic Series For A Classic Story
This particular version from A&E / BBC is one of the best produced versions of this classic novel I have ever seen. It will take some time to get through the entire epic, but well worth the time. The story, actors, and shots of beautiful homes, and countryside will sweep you away. You will be entranced in the world of Jane Austin, and wonder where the time has gone. You'll even count the minutes till you can pop in disk two, just to see if perhapes Mr. Darcey and Elizabeth actually do get together!

Very Romanic Movie!
I fell in Love with this Version of Pride and Prejudice! Even though this is a very long Version, it was done so Perfecticaly and with great detail!

All the clothes looked so wonderful, anyone would love all the detail!

I loved the Double Wedding at the end for Jane and Elisabeth Bennett to their Loving Caring Husbands.

The lentgh is long for the entire movie, but, it is all Worth the time!!

I recommend this Movie for all Romanics!!!
