In my opinion, this is the best film adaptation of this Jane Austen novel. The cast is beyond praise

[@Spiklething]

Except it wasn’t a film. It was a six part television show.

[@deeallemang9670]

Colin was my favorite

[@susanaperalta5635]

Es la que más me gusta,también!Sus personajes se parecen más a los de esa época,mujeres y hombres,más rellenitos.

[@Girly92]

Still my favorite

[@user-bk6uf9oy4y]

The best version of this movie!

[@janepowers6711]

To me, Jennifer Ehle became Elizabeth Bennet, she was absolutely perfect, better than I had imagined the character Eliabeth, when reading the book.

[@cyndid6605]

I agree, she was a great Elizabeth, absolutely the best.

[@bobmello1063]

This was definitely the best production of ",Pride and Prejudice " ever. It was trurer to the book snd the acting was supperb of any account American or English. This is a classic that can always be shown. They all deserve an Oscar .

[@eboli7146]

Everyone was so perfectly cast- hard to pick a favourite but I must say Alison Steadman’s squawking Mrs Bennet really brought a lot of life and comedy to every scene she was in 😂

I loved everything about this series, absolutely everything, and one little thing that stood out for me was precisely Julia S. playing Lydia, with her cheekiness and raspy voice. She was infuriating and hilarious and no other actress playing the Bennet's youngest daughter ever came close to having her charisma. That raspy voice! Loved it.

[@kittykatz4001]

Don’t forget the grating annoying laugh! Her portrayal of Lydia was sheer genius!

[@carmenl163]

The one thing I didn't like was that she clearly was so very much older than the character. At times, it was cringing to see this mature woman play a teenager.

[@cherylkolb9984]

@@carmenl163It didn’t seem obvious to me, I thought she pulled it off splendidly.

[@annamae859]

​​@@carmenl163I disagree Julia Sawalha had already had plenty of practice pulling off a teenager while in her mid twenties, albeit a more sensible one than Lydia, as Saffron in Absolutely Fabulous. It's called acting. Only Jennifer Ehle was physically anywhere close to the age of her Character. But all of the girls pulled of the younger roles.

[@carmenl163]

@@annamae859 That's not acting. Otherwise all child actors would be replaced by adults. Men would play women and black facing wouldn't be a thing. Costumes and sets wouldn't be necessary. Acting is about ensuring that everything resembles as much as possible to a certain fantasy situation.

[@barblibrarian]

Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle were so perfect in their roles. They truly did justice to Austen’s work. One criticism of this video. Telling us someone is alive doesn’t seem like much of an update.

[@ckp2ator389]

What stands out to me was the perfect casting and acting, e.g., how with simply an expression Colin Firth showed pride and then puzzlement over his attraction to Elizabeth at their first ball.

[@ruthdodds3753]

I knew the moment I saw him Colin WAS Darcy.

[@MildredGlutz]

Loved all the characters but Alison Steadman as Mrs. Bennett was absolutely hilarious. Couldn’t have been better cast.

[@Jace28142]

I can’t get enough of this version and cast of Pride & Prejudice. Mr. Darcy!

[@bobmello1063]

This was the very best of all time , and I'm 81 yrs. Old. This should be shown over and over again. This is absolutely a classic . Director and actors did an absolutely a superb job. They should winn an award no one has been able to surpass them in this story.***************************************************

Yes - the casting, sets and costumes were all perfect! I could literally watch this again and again. The most wonderful costume drama ever!

[@Tessiefaye]

I have it on disk and watch it at least once a year since it's release. I loved all the character portrayals but that Mr Collins was the best. He was so slimy and disgusting. That actor did a great job.

[@georgielancaster1356]

The last time I checked, Crispin Bonham - Carter chucked in acting and became a teacher in a state - government, school, I think. A rare chap indeed.

Most of the actors are fantastic 😍. But Mr. Collins is so ridiculous, self-satisfied, and patently stupid, I have high praise for his portrayal!

[@heatherwicker9990]

I know right? Couldn’t stand that character. Wanted to throat punch him. The actor did a fabulous job. ❤

[@texasred2702]

Yet the same actor gave a chilling portrayal of Adolf Hitler in Valkyrie a few years later.

[@shoshanaudelson4481]

Yes, Forgot to add he's totally unrecognizable in other roles! Great character actor!

[@agnes15101968]

Oh yes, he makes you cringe every second of his appearance :)

[@haplessasshole9615]

Austen was *so* good at writing scathing portrayals of inappropriate aspirants to heroines' hands. Wickham the slimeball, William Elliot the money-grubber, and John Thorpe the boorish lout leap to mind. But she excelled at clergymen. I sometimes wonder if she had specific men in mind, as some of their quirks and turns of phrase seem so true-to-life. Goodness knows, she would have had ample opportunity to observe her father's colleagues. I wonder if any of them recognized themselves in her novels and blushed? Nah -- the curates and vicars Austen depicted were so lacking in self-awareness, they wouldn't have seen themselves in their satirized forms.

[@saradesilva856]

It is a version of P&P that is unmatched - I watched it many times - Loved the experience each time! What surprises me is that Jennifer Eyle remained in the background of the acting world even after her awesome performance as Elizabeth Bennett while Colin Firth who played Darcy, shot into worldwide stardom immediately with leading roles in classic movies, box office hits, and ... Puzzling! Is it that female stars have to reinvent themselves more often in order to stay in view ...

[@renab2581]

Love, love, love this series … one of the best TV productions EVER ❤ (IMO)

[@tdavis8419]

I agree that this is the best adaptation ever. David Bamber was outstanding, and will always be Mr. Collins to me!

[@RayHicks-gl7gm]

Agreed, I can't read the novel without imagining him speaking every line Austen writes for Collins.

[@dbthomashamby6279]

P&P 1995 is absolutely the best adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel that I have ever seen. I love the 2005 adaptation as well, but it requires a thorough reading or readings of Jane Austen’s novel, or viewing the 1995 version first, to understand it because there simply isn’t enough time in a two hour film to develop all the nuances of the novel.. The six episodes of 1995 do have the time to develop the story and it is simply said, brilliant. Thank you Andrew Davies for your superb screenplay. And every actor nails their role. Jane Austen would have loved it, I’m sure.🌹

I've been a jane Austen fan since I was 14 - I'm 61 now - and in my opinion this adaptation is the best. It captured Austen's characters perfectly. I remember at the time there was criticism of Alison Steadman's role as Mrs Bennet, but personally I think she was wonderful. Still enjoy watching this today.

Colin Firth will always be my Mr Darcy. I'm also amazed that so many of the "younger" cast were a great deal older than the characters they portrayed - and that Lady Catherine was quite a bit younger than she seemed in the production (great make up and hair)

[@paladin1726]

It’s the subtleties. They’re all brilliant with them but it really comes out so well in Darcy. You see what looks like ge I e admiration when Lizzie is talking. My favorite scene of Darcy’s might be his interaction with Mr. Collins

Absolutely fabulous , I watch it at least once a year. Colin Firth is the best Mr, Darcy, but the cast in general is superb.🇨🇦

[@alondralabute2310]

I think the 1995 P&P is my favorite thing to watch. I have it on dvd (finally!) and could watch it over and over. I have several parts of it memorized. Favorite character? Probably Lizzy. Though I adore Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy I think Jennifer Ehle's performance as Lizzy was wonderful. I love the story because when you really like a man like Mr. Darcy you want him to have the best for the woman he falls in love with. Lizzy is well worthy of him because she is just so cool. I love how she turns down his first proposal because it was so insulting in spite of the fact that accepting him would save her family from that stupid sexist entail. But she had higher principles than that. Little by little she does fall in love with him and then accepts him when she realizes he really is a good man and now she loves him. P&P is my favorite book. Other great performances were Mrs. Bennet ("Oh, Mr. Bennet!") and Lady Catherine. All of the actors were just perfect for their roles.

[@denisadellinger4543]

I love this cast of actors. They are priceless. I love Pride and Prejudice. Did you know that the actors who played Darcy and Elizabeth dated in real life? I think very briefly but they did! I just find that so delicious.

[@sarrhodes8277]

It was such a great series, done so well and with none of today's attitudes and cultural references or signalling to prevailing concerns and ideals. Just pure Jane Austen - and done as well as possibly could be. There was a Vanity Fair series too - every bit as well done, and I loved that too. It was the last blast of the 20th century firing off it's final cultural references - without argument and controversy or attempting to identify in terms of modern UK.

[@homegown1234]

I've read that Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle dated but split up afterwards. Sometimes the films or mini-series can be seductive but in real life each individual has their own personality and ego to consider.

[@carolneedle9610]

Love love love Mr Darcy

[@cathyberg526]

It took me about 15 years to come around to this version having been a fierce proponent of the 1980 version with Elizabeth Garvie and David Rintoul. I've watched the 1980 version close to 1,000 times. What irked me about the 1995 version has mellowed over time and the scene between Eliza and Darcy at Pemberly, and his need to return to the piano room later is one of the finest pieces of cinema ever.

For casting and rewriting, the movie demands the highest praise. I have watched this supurbly presented tv production many times, always with great pleasure. The costumes and the language of the time adds to the perfection of Pride and Prejudice. The historical rules re family and inheritances expands the viewing enjoyment with personal judgements on how masculine power governed much of the financial issues in life at that time, so personal feelings of viewers on this subject added to the quality of this time and indicated how unfortunate situations could be eased. Being of English birth, I am exceedingly proud and prejudiced that this successful programme was acted out so superbly, that the love element was portrayed delightfully and if the author could be alive today, she would not fail to be very happy, "indeed". Thankyou Vintage TV Shows.

I wish the film and this TV series could be brought into one. It would be perfect. The lovely and very beautiful Rosamund Pike would be Jane, instead of this not so pretty Jane and Lydia would be played by an age appropriate actress.
