I ran across an interesting article on the costumes in the A&E Pride and Prejudice that I thought some of you might be interested in. You can view it HERE. My, I'd forgotten how much I loved this film. It's been rather neglected as the new one is shorter and therefore easier to watch in an evening.
But really...I love this adaption. :)
I think I may pull it out and watch it today while I work on my regency gown. :)Also, if any of you are interested in notes on the costumes in this version of Pride and Prejudice, as well as the 2005 adaption, there is a wonderful site HERE.
This must surely be the best ever version of Pride and Prejudice. I cannot believe it was made so long ago - I remember watching it when it first came out.

Even though I like the 2005 version this one can't be beat!
ReplyDeleteJust finished looking at the episodes on youtube. And there is one thing I really would like to know because each time it caught my eye. Mr. Darcy is wearing on several occasions something on the left side ofhis waistband. Have you any idea what it is called and/or what the function of it is?
ReplyDeleteThank you. Elizabeth
This is definitely the best version of P&P. I LOVE IT! I think it's my favorite movie. No, I'm sure it is. So sweet! Yes, the 2005version is good...would be fine, if it wasn't for the old one. (-: So much better, the characters and everything. Compare the Darcy's. The Lady Catherine De Bourgh's. The Elizabeth's. They're all better in the old one! Excuse my rant, this is a favorite subject.
