Re: Pride and Prejudice
Not a US citizen, but this recalls fond memories. Watched the BBC version when it first aired, I guess I was really a bit to young to understand what this was all about, but I fell in love with Colin Firth

Re: Pride and Prejudice
One of my all time favourite adaptations. A book like that one needs a lengthy series to do it justice. No film has ever done the book the way it should be done.

Re: Pride and Prejudice
OHHH I missed this!!! I have the DVD that a friend gave me as a gift, but the last part is rather skippy. If anyione watched this, did they air commercials? This was the one I fell in love with. Colin Firth played Mr. Darcy just as it was in the book. I loved it when he dived into his lake and the consequences of that. I've read the book several times. I love Jane Austen novels.
