Trivia:

The white muslin gown with three-quarter-length sleeves Jennifer Ehle (Elizabeth Bennet) wears during the outdoor scene at Longbourn when Jane and Elizabeth learn the contents of Uncle Gardiner's letter to Mr. Bennet is the same costume Victoria Hopkins wears in "The Regency House Party" (2004). The same costume is also worn by an extra at the London party where Annabella Milbanke meets Byron in Byron (2003) (TV), and by Tamzin Merchant (Georgiana Darcy) in Pride & Prejudice (2005).

Goofs:

Audio/visual unsynchronized: Bingley's praise "Absolutely marvelous" for Lizzy's recital at Pemberley is out of sync.

Fantabulous Movie for Jane Austen lovers everywhere!

This timeless tale of hate that blossoms into love is as good as it gets. At least once a year my sisters and I watch it all the way through in one sitting. And that's no easy feat since it's so long!Ohhh but it's worth it:o) The casting is perfect with Colin Firth playing the impossible Mr. Darcy and Jennifer Ehll (sp. right?) as the heroine of the story, Ms. Elizabeth Bennet. The movie captures very well the society of the time,the difference in stations and the very laid-back easy-going life-style of an English gentleman and his family of five daughters. Though Mrs. Bennet gets to be a little much (she must have been a blast to play she's so obnoxious:o), it's worth watching. The movie covers about a year, I think, and it follows the life of the five Ms. Bennets: Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty and Lydia, and their ups and downs in life, love, and day to day life. Their are a few unexpected twists along the way, and many unforgettable characters: those who are great, and those who are great to make fun of! So... If you enjoy immersing yourself into the time of Jane Austen for an afternoon, and enjoy the simplicity of way back when, then you would really enjoy this movie.
