Netflixadds to the Jane Austen adaptation listwith a contemporary remake of Pride and Prejudice,The Netherfield Girls. I have to say that the 95 version is my least favorite, due to that casting choice, the overacting done by at least a few of the cast (which may not have been their fault; you never know what a director has told an actor to do) and all the many additions to the movie that were not in the book. Miss Marple: The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side. The cinematography gave depth to the novel unlike any other adaptation.

Elizabeth Garvie is also my perfect Elizabeth Bennett, always observing, always offering an opinion. In the US, it was broadcast by PBS television as part of Masterpiece Theatre. Miss Marple: The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side. And just the fact that we de-code, reconstruct and connect to what we read in our own individual ways I suppose is the culprit when we suddenly see the world weve had in our own minds when reading something we loved, translated into, say, a movie having gone through the process of being minced through someone elses subjective process. I didnt really like the 1980 version when I first saw it, but it grows on me a little more every time, I think. Id rent it unless you are like me, and just have to have your own copy regardless. For the simple reason that P&P95 is referred to as the Colin Firth version. P&P was written mostly from Elizabeths POV, and the fact that Andrew Davies, et al., told the audience certain things before Elizabeth knew them is, in my not-so-humble opinion, absolutely wrong. It is close to 5 hours of our Jane after all, and much of her direct language is used. * As an aside; P&P of 05 still makes me break out in fits and hives ;-P Must have an EpiPen at hand just in case it comes on during a freak zapping-incident on a lazy Sunday evening. http://tamaraausten77.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/pride-and-prejudice-1980s-mini-series.html.

Ann Fairbank+Bryan Marshall together were easy to fall in love with though :) But see, thats me what for many others might seem as silly things you could overlook, affects my overall experience and the way the story will make me feel. Not that thats bad, its just a different interpretation of Austens story. I recently visited Renishaw Hall, shooting location of Pemberley. She has one older sister, Jane, and three younger sisters: Mary, Catherine, and Lydia. The 05 one had the worst Darcy for me, in particular the scenes where he claimed once his favor is lost it is gone forever and the scenes where he argues with Lizbeth only shine when he is truly enraged. Being, as I am, a member of the spoilt, younger 90s generation Must make an effort to re-evaluate! I was not disappointed in the first episodein fact I was mesmerizedand watched the episode again when it aired again that week on PBS. I liked the first better than the second. They appeared together in the Thames Television serial 'Something In Disguise', written and dramatised by Elizabeth Jane Howard. Possibly the most effective scene for the development of the relationship is the letter Darcy writes to her after his disastrous first proposal. The scene when Elizabeth received Janes letter regarding Lydias scandalous elopement was appalling. I fell in love with it and immediately asked for the book. His performance was so dull and the Lizzys father in that one is a bore as well, no fun in his voice, no endearing qualities to make him standout. And Lizzie, so concerned about her sisters behavior, barely seems embarrassed that the owner of Pemberley is at home when she and the Gardiners are playing tourists. I was a teenager when it came out and I wanted to be Elizabeth. Mr Williams, 64, uncovered a true story he said was more suited to . All perfectly timed and resolved with a delicious ending!

Garvie was born in Bristol, and studied drama at the University of Bristol.She was married to the actor Anton Rodgers from 1983 until his death on 1 December 2007. The bottom line? The costumes are dreadful, and its full of illogical ideas, like Maureen OSullivan being Greer Garsons OLDER sister, and Lady Catherine only pretending to disparage a match between Darcy and Elizabeth, but I absolutely love Edmund Gwenn as Mr. Bennet, and Ill always admire Greer Garsons ability to play just about any age character with merely a small change in her posture and an extra twinkle in her eye. As for the Rintoul/Garvie version, I bought the tapes in the late nineties, and Im sorry to say I could hardly finish them, I was appalled by the acting, the sets, the script. Huffing, puffing, sighing and moaning my way through it. Mother, with Anton Rodgers, of three sons. It was the first thing I saw when I turned on P&P95, and I turned it off within seconds.

James Garvie started working life as a Carpenter but by 1835 he had moved from Inverbervie, South of Stonehaven, to Aberdeen. The 1980 version is charming. Elizabeth Garvie handles the leading role well, even if she is far too old for it. Did I enjoy 2005? She plays her as a spoiled rotten beauty, used to getting her own way entirely, whom nobody has dared to tell off until Elizabeth Bennet, and by then its too late to do her any good. Theres such a contrast between the way Darcys letter is filmed in the 1980 version and the 1995 version, with the former focusing on the words of the letter, and the latter showing us flashbacks to dramatize the scenes he describes in the letter. I think your theory is correct my very first viewing was the 1980 version, and I loved it. I thought I would end up not liking this, but I did. I love how this version stays close to the original. They can truly be mistaken for people of fashion. P&P95s Gardiners are frumps and P&P05s look like farmers. Masterpiece Classic It is a fact universally acknowledged that costume designers design for their contemporary audience as much as for historical accuracy, hence for instance, the crazy padded shoulders in the 1940 version.

Ive seen the 1995, 1940 and 2005 versions and there are things I love about all of them but also things Id change, such as some of the overacting in the 95, the lightning speed dialogue and wandering round outside half dressed for the 2005 and the costumes in the 1940 one (is it wrong that I quite like the story in that one even though its hardly faithful at all?!). I really like this book but i havents seen a game, guess its wonderful. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

There was a 71 version of Persuasion I had just seen, and however much closer it was to the book than its newer counterparts (havent seen the 95 one with Ciarn Hinds as that man in equal measures scares and creeps me out), I just couldnt help but feel depressed by all the brownish/dead hues, dull and depressing haze, wrong props and furniture etc. I am in agreement with much you said. I watched the 1980 version and couldnt help asking WHAT would Elizabeth see in that Mr. Darcy?
