Negative Positive
Title: It's okay. Definitely not my favorite.
Review: This version is "okay." Just okay. It is from 1980 and the interior lighting is overly harsh and the exteriors are fine but come as a shock. Mr Darcy (David Rintoul) is icy, prideful, aloof -- so totally believable -- but Elizabeth Garvey as Elizabeth Bennet was somewhat lacking, as she did not show any charisma or anything that would make her a stand out to the likes of a Mr. Darcy. (I almost agree with Miss Bingley's opinions of this Elizabeth, "For my part, I confess I could never see any beauty in her....")Some of the dialogue was played with, having other characters say the words. Usually with adaptations, I don't mind this if it serves for flow or continuity, but it seemed to serve no purpose. I enjoy anything P&P; and was glad to see this version, but,it won't be one I watch over and over again. I'd rent it unless you are like me, and just have to have your own copy regardless.
Is the review positive or negative?
