Summary: Simply Woderful
Review: This production was absolutly wonderful. I have owned it for less than a week and have viewed it two times which is a great compliement since the movie lasts six hours. The cast was perfect, Elizabeth and Darcy especailly, the plot was in line wiht the book at all times, or as much as possible considering it was a movie. Any Pride and Prejudice lover will love this production, it is a much have.

Summary: Proud, Filled with Pride and With Much Prejudice Indeed!
Review: Believe it or not, prior to the accidental happening to see Pride and Prejudice on television, I had never read a Jane Austen novel. One would wonder in what cave have I dwelt! But because of my fortunate happenstance, I am now enamored with all of Jane Austen's novels and I have never seen so perfect an adaptation as presented by Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth! I could almost read from the book itself, since the script was kept so very close to the original! I have watched it four times at least since receiving it less than a fortnight ago. My husband was attentive through it all (and he is NOT a reader of 'old novels')! Yet, he exclaimed that he would be most happy to see it all again - in one sitting! Please suffer me to overuse exclamation points as I bubble forth with praise from the finest of acting and casting regarding all the characters, from Elizabeth's forthrightness, Lydia's lack of remorse, Lady Catherine de Bourgh's indignation (from the start) and to even Mr. Collins' perpetual loquacity! One scene touched me particularly, the look on Darcy's face as he beheld Miss Bennet and his sister at the pianoforte. His countenance was filled with such exquisite delight, yet obviously controlled in such a manner that one could feel his shear joy at finally being in the company of the two most beloved people on the planet! I say that I am most 'prejudiced' in casting my ballot for this version as the most beautiful and most satisfying rendition of Austen's classic that I have ever seen. Actually, I know not any screenplay of any novel so well done as this one notwhithstanding Gone With the Wind. My 'bonnet' is off to Sue Birtwistle, Andrew Davies, Simon Langton, Carl Davis, et al., for their collaboration on a job very well done!

Summary: THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND REAL MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This version of Pride and Prejudice is amazing! The scenes are gorgeus and you learn so much about every character that you feel you live in their time! Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy is wonderful! His early silence draws to him and his love for Elizabeth Bennet is so passionate and honest. Jennifer Ehle is every bit of Elizabeth Bennet as I imagined as I read the book. She is a superd actress and is full of personality. THe costumes of beautiful and so are the scenes of Pemberley. Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth are both so easy to look at on screen. They are becuatiful together and are a pleasure to watch. Pride and Prejudice is my favorite novel of all times, and I love the video so much! I have had it for 5 years now and I watch it every month still! I love this story and I always have dreamed of being Elizabeth Bennet and falling in love with the rich and hansom Mr. Darcy. The supporting cast is amazing too! Mrs. Bennet is funny and extravagant, and Mr. Bingley is a pleasure to watch. The Passion and excitement never go away in this movie, Though it is almost 6 hours long, The time just flies by. There is not one slow part in the whole movie. This videois a great thing to watch before or after you had read Jane Austens novel Pride and Prejudice, and I'm sure after seeing this you'll want to read much more of Jane Austen's novels.I cannot describe to you how wonderful this movie is. YOU MUST BUY IT!

Summary: Absolutely Wonderful!
Review: I have been an active customer for over three years, and though I've read hundreds of reviews I've never felt compelled to write one... until now. I won't bore you with commentary on the film versus the book or any summaries. I will say only this: if you have even the slightest interest whatsoever in buying this collection, YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST! There is simply no imaginable way you will be disappointed by the purchase. In fact, I think it nearly impossible for you not to be quite moved and so warmly touched by this incredible film. Even if you've never read a Jane Austin book (I'm not an Austin fan, well, not yet) and have no interest in period films (I'm not even exactly sure when this story takes place), the fact that you've stumbled upon this page for whatever reason is justification enough TO BUY THIS FILM (I bought it)! Trust me, I realize how strongly this is written. I just don't want you to miss the opportunity of owning what will, from day one until far off in the future, be the most viewed and loved movie in your collection.

Summary: Who could ask for more?
Review: If I could own only 1 movie, this would be THE one. I always feel better after watching it and I have done so way too many times to count. It allows a marvelous writer to shine through to us in another dimension of art and this dimension - the screen, in this movie version of Pride and Prejudice does Jane Austen and her work great credit. I wish the story and movie could go on forever....I would never tire of it.

Summary: Can't get enough of it!
Review: I saw this several years ago and after my taped-off-of-the-TV copy broke, I had to break down and fork over the money to buy it! So glad I did! After recently seeing Bridget Jones's Diary, I had this burning desire to see more of the exquisite Mr. Darcy. Colin Firth is fabulous, to put it lightly. Strongly agree with the amazon.com editorial review, must watch it in one sitting. My fiance is sick of hearing about Mr. Darcy; he doesn't know what he's missing. The icky Mr. Collins makes Darcy even better. Any fans of Jane Austen and/or Colin Firth should not miss it. I've been obsessed with it all week; I think I'll go watch it again.

Summary: Capital, Capital!
Review: I bought these videos not knowing what to expect and I can honestly say that I did not waste my money. Colin Firth is remarkable and plays the part of Mr. Darcy extremely well. I might add that part of Elizabeth Bennett is done well by Ehle, which truly does have "fine eyes".I was not disappointed in my purchase. As a matter of fact I have watched it so many times that I might have to buy another set. I'm quite sure I'll wear the tape out soon!

Summary: The ONLY video I've ever felt compelled to buy
Review: I normally dislike seeing movies twice and thus have never felt the need to own a film on tape, but this version of Pride and Predjudice was EXTRAORDINARY - amazingly perfect with incredibly gifted actors, strong screenplay adaptation, and the most beautiful scenary ever. I have never seen two characters on film with more spark and chemistry than between Colin Firth's Darcy and Jennifer Ehle's Elizabeth. Be warned though, that you may become completely (and for me uncharacteristically) obsessed with Mr. Darcy and by default, Colin Firth. The only quibble I have is the same as that of many other reviewers - once the two finally got together at the end I wish the filmmakers had extended the story a bit more, but that's the way Jane Austen ended it so I guess the film had to as well. Still, one can't help wishing for some sort of a sequel to this film with the same actors, writer and director. Tip: There is a book called "The Making of Pride and Predjudice" which gives really good insights into the characters, especically Mr. Darcy. I found it facinating to read about the hidden motivations and feelings as interpreted by Colin Firth and especially, Andrew Davies, the screenwriter. Really good. I told you I was obsessed (!)
