“My good opinion once lost, is lost forever”
When Jane Austen penned Pride and Prejudice in the 19th century, she probably never imagined it would become a beloved classic. The 1995 limited series adaptation is arguably the best version, and I’m sure many would agree.
Colin Firth embodies Mr. Darcy to perfection (despite his real-life aunt’s misgivings as heard in the Graham Norton show), while Jennifer Ehle’s Elizabeth Bennet is both believable and relatable. The supporting cast does a fantastic job bringing the novel to life—Lady Catherine de Bourgh, for instance, is so convincingly meddlesome that you’ll love to hate her.
If you’re a true romance fan and haven’t seen this adaptation yet, I give you full permission to stop reading this article and rectify that mistake immediately!
