Movie Reviews of Pride and Prejudice (BBC, 1980)
Movie Review: Not Bad
Summary: 4 Stars
very long series which is good lots of detail.
I like Elizabeth character but not her sister Jane.
Because Jane is a brunette!
I always imagined her to be blonde.ALso the Mr Darcy character is NOT""FANCY ENOUGH TO TEMPT ME LOL""He doesnt smile and is not handsome.
a bit boring and cant act.
Otherwise the series is nicely done with very good surroundings.
Summary of Pride and Prejudice (BBC, 1980)
Jane Austen's witty and romantic novel springs vividly to life! This realistic production truly captures all the nuances of the 18th century life among the English gentry a society obsessed with profitable marriage contracts. When the wealthy and aloof Mr. Darcy insults Elizabeth Bennet at a dance the tension and romance of their relationship is sparked while the family beauty Jane attracts the attention of a gentleman presumed to be above her station. Her flirtatious younger sister Lydia lands herself in a steamy scandal that could ruin the reputation and chances of all the Bennet sisters.Running Time: 226 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA UPC: 794051168726In Jane Austen's classic novel Pride and Prejudice, the arrival of a young, well-off, eligible man named Mr. Bingley sends the Bennet household--with five girls of a marrying age--into a tizzy. But it's the introduction of Mr. Bingley's friend, Mr. Darcy (played with an imperious scowl by David Rintoul), that sets in motion the fate of Elizabeth Bennet (the adorable Elizabeth Garvie), resolved only after a labyrinth of social and personal complexities. Austen's novels are miracles of skillful plotting, fusing a rich understanding of psychological motivation with whimsical turns of chance. This superb BBC adaptation from 1980 zips along, thanks to lively performances, fluid direction, and a keen grasp of the wit of Austen's dialogue (expertly translated to the screen by British novelist Fay Weldon) and her satirical characters, who range from clever and kind to utterly odious. Due to its faithfulness and deep appreciation of the material, this five-episode miniseries stands up against any other film or television adaptation (at least nine to date), though Rintoul may not sets hearts aflutter the way Colin Firth did in the also excellent 1995 miniseries. --Bret Fetzer
