Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Jane Austen's classic novel of 1813, Pride and Prejudice, still wins the hearts of countless schoolgirls with its romantic story of Elizabeth Bennet and her Mr. Darcy. Now, the 1996 BBC miniseries is winning over adults, with its faithful adaptation, gorgeous scenery, and superb acting.
The essence of the story is the antagonism between Mr. Darcy, a wealthy single man who believes Elizabeth to be beneath him, and Elizabeth, who upon being insulted at a dance by the aloof Darcy refuses to associate with him in any manner. Austen evokes incredible tension with the wit and flirtation of the two characters, and director Simon Langton (who also directed Upstairs Downstairs) successfully translates the repartee and conflict in this six-hour miniseries. Dialogue, for the most part, is painstakingly replicated, except when fleshing out and smoothing for modern sensibilities was necessary. Darcy, for instance, is drawn out, giving his personality significantly more depth. The acting sweeps you away to Regency England: Jennifer Ehle (of Wilde) is convincing as the obstinate Elizabeth, who, despite her mother's attempts to marry her off, spurs the attentions of Darcy. And Colin Firth (of The English Patient) will have women everywhere longing for a Mr. Darcy of their own.
For those who have been on an Austen binge--enjoying such excellent adaptations as Sense and Sensibility and Persuasion--this miniseries will round out the ultimate Austen video library. For those new to these romantic period pieces, this version of Pride and Prejudice will have you hooked and longing for more. One caveat, however: plan to watch it in an entire day, because very few have the self-control to not watch all six hours in a single sitting. --Jenny Brown

This particular make of Pride and Prejudice is a classic for a reason. It's most accurate to the book and the acting is so similar to how the characters are portrayed, it's uncanny. The best 6 hour movie of my life! Definitely recommend. Dare you to watch it ;)

I've seen the older version of "Pride and Prejudice" and this version tops it!! ALL FANS OF "PRIDE AND PREJUDICE" WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED!!! I really enjoy this version. The color is rich and crisp. I'm very happy with the progress of the filming! It is worth rebuying if you have already bought the older version. Trust me ^_^

On July 16th I ordered my favorite movie, Pride and Prejudice, however when I sat down to watch it low and behold one third of the movie was missing. Now I'm attempting to return it using the "easy return policy" but I can't return it because it has been opened. What would you suggest I do to get the omitted portion of the movie. Also, how about a return of the overcharge, I paid $28.49 for a partial movie that you are now selling for $19.49.
Review of what I saw of the movie, excellent. ... Read More

This review refers to Pride and Prejudice: Vol. 1) This is a most bodacious rendering of Jane Austin's classic novel, delightfully performed by a cast perfectly picked with the intention to produce an authentic depiction of life in those times. I have watched it many times with pleasure and expect that I shall do so again in future with equal enjoyment. Highly recommended for anyone who is a romantic at heart and whom not only enjoys a happy ending, but believes that one is required in order to bring such ... Read More
