    Editorial Reviews

    Fay Weldon wrote the teleplay for this 5-part BBC TV adaptation of Jane Austen's 1812 novel Pride and Prejudice. Class-obsessed Mrs. Bennett (Priscilla Morgan) is dead set upon marrying off her five daughters to wealthy and influential young men. Headstrong Elizabeth Bennett (Elizabeth Garvie), the family's second daughter, resists her mother's plan. She is the "pride" that is "prejudiced" against snobbery and pomposity. Elizabeth is particularly incensed by the vain, aristocratic Fitzwilliam Darcy (David Rintoul)--at least until she realizes that Darcy is as prejudiced against high-toned class distinctions as she is. Telecast in the US on PBS' Masterpiece Theatre in the fall of 1980, Pride and Prejudice was later released to video in an uninterrupted, 226-minute single serving. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    June 07, 2009: I guess this was to look like the famous upstairs/downstairs program. It was produced as a play, but the combination of camera quality between inside and outside kind of cheapens the quality. I found the later movie productions of Jane Austen novels done much better with Sense and Sensibility being the best.

    The most enjoyable version of "Pride and Prejudice"by Chang

    December 17, 2008: This is the most enjoyable version of all available TV series and movies with the title "Pride and Prejudice". The adaptation is probably truest to Jane Austin's original conception. The selection of actresses and actors is suited very well to the characters in the novel. The performance of principle actors and actresses, especially Elizabeth Garvie, is wonderfully well, except, unfortunately, the one playing Mr. Darcy.
    After having been watched for over 50 times since 1997, my VHS of this play has been worn out, so I decide now to buy a DVD of this version. I would say that this is the only version of Pride and Prejudice on the market, that leads a viewer most truly to the world of Jane Austin's time.
