The past two Sundays I have been watching the 1995 joint A&E/BBC production of "Pride and Prejudice" and I am completely in love with it. I had heard about it online, where people raved about Colin Firth's "Mr Darcy," and while I don't find myself completely bowled over by any of the actors in their parts, I'm completely sucked in to the story.
Now, some of you might have read that instead of watching the Super Bowl, I was watching Sense and Sensibility (Kate Winslet/Emma Thompson version), another Austen movie I adore. I also realized that I have watched the 1940s version of Pride and Prejudice with Greer Garson.
This 1995 version of P&P has completely captured me, though, and I'm not sure how. The final part of the series (it has been shown in three parts on PBS's Masterpiece Classics) airs next Sunday. I'm just not sure I can wait that long, despite knowing exactly how the story ends.
I should probably put those books on my "to read" list ASAP!
