The Definitive "Pride and Prejudice"
Having seen the series when it aired, we bought the DVD as soon as we knew it was available. We have owned it for quite a while now, and have enjoyed the entire series several times. The acting, casting, scenery, and production as a whole have been repeatedly gratifying to me and my wife. We have purchased two more copies one for our daughter, and one for our granddaughter. We can recommend it to anyone who enjoys a first class story well presented.

A keeper for all Jane Austen and P&P fans!
Pride and Prejudice is my favorite Jane Austen novel and so I had to give the BBC/A&E mini-series a whirl. I have always loved this series because it remains true to the novel and the actors' portrayals of the characters are precise and wonderful. Jennifer Ehle did a wonderful job playing Elizabeth Bennett. She is just as I'd imagined the intelligent and grounded Elizabeth to be when I pictured the heroine in my head. But the actor that really captivated me was Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy. He was so on the mark in his portrayal of the arrogant, taciturn and reluctantly besotted Darcy that I cannot picture another actor outdoing his performance. This is the work that made me look at Colin Firth's career more closely. The rest of the series is wonderful with the Bennett family -- the fortune-hunting mother, the sarcastic father, the sensible and beautiful Jane, and the silly younger sister Lydia. The other characters were fun to watch coming to life. The period costumes and the British country scenery are second to none. Absolutely gorgeous! As for the actual DVD, I agree with the people who say that the special A&E DVD edition isn't very good. The picture quality left a lot to desire and the bonus features aren't any better. That is why I give this DVD four stars instead of five. Five stars for the series itself and two stars for the DVD. But you'd want to have this in your collection if you love this series as much as I do.
