This is another stellar BBC production based on a classic novel by Jane Austen about the morals and mores of the class system in Georgian England. The intelligent and spirited Elizabeth Bennet is one of 5 daughters -- which, during that era, meant trouble: because women cannot inherit, upon her father's death her family's home will become the property of their nearest male relative. Only marriage, preferably to someone wealthy, can ensure her security. But the proud young lady instantly takes offense when Mr. Darcy, a promising newcomer in town, doesn't seem quite admiring enough, and she spurns his advances. Slowly and painfully, Elizabeth realizes her error, but not before it seems she has lost Mr. Darcy forever...

The definitive film version of Jane Austen's best loved book
Pros: The best film adaptation of Austen's book, faithful to plot, characters and dialogue. Cons: None. Bottom Line: Pass on Pride and Prejudice, 1985 BBC production
Pros: Austen completists will want to add this DVD to their collection. Cons: But the more recent versions are better. Bottom Line: You will not let me grimace but are provoking me to do so every minute!
Pros: Jane Austen's prose; occasional effective scenes taken individually Cons: Rintoul as Darcy; casting of four of the Bennet sisters; weak Bingley; amateurish production values Bottom Line: An (unintentionally) Amusing Disaster
Pros: Mr. Collins, Wickham, Lady Catherine...Pumice and Beeswax! Cons: DARCY, most of the acting, length, breadth, and (lack of) wit. Bottom Line: |
