About the little scene of Darcy walking with Lizzie at Pemberly. I think her facial expression betrays that she sees him in a different light. After all, she later tells Jane that she probably began to love him upon her first glimpse of his glorious estate. I also think that both Lizzie and Mr. Darcy exhibit pride and prejudice in their feelings and actions. They both have to overcome those in order to see the other in the best possible way and fall in love. Thanks for the delightful glimpses and explanations. The 1995 adaptation is my favorite too.

Even after both reading the book and watching the 1995 adaptation numerous times, it never occurred to me until now that Charlotte Lucas may have known how to tolerate the foolish ramblings of Mr. Collins because she had spent her lifetime dealing with the foolish ramblings of her father.🤯

I think in the dog scene Darcy sees that Elizabeth is a person who finds joy in life, and he begins to think that he would like some of that. His life is so stuffy and his companions so boring. She's the proverbial breath of fresh air.

I think Mary eating while standing at the party showed how she had the same lack of propriety as her younger sisters and her parents. Only the 2 eldest Bennet daughters have that 'natural gentility' Jane Austen liked to give her heroines.

I always thought Charlotte's pause after she offered to invite Mr. Collins to dine with her family, right after Lizzy had rejected his marriage proposal, indicated that she realized in that moment that a hurt and embarrassed Mr. Collins would very likely try to salve his injured pride and vanity by proposing to the next woman who offered him any kindness. She doesn't like or dislike him at this point, but she knows that he can offer her a comfortable home, and her unromantic nature would require little else in a marriage. She would have no reason to reject him, so she is resigning herself to the choice she is about to make.

I think Lizzy is still absorbing how polite Darcy is being, how welcoming, and she is aware of the honor he is doing her by wanting to introduce his sister to her. I LOVE how Darcy takes her hands in the inn and then sort of realizes what he is doing and takes his hands away. I think when Darcy and Bingley come back to Longbourn Lizzy is embarrassed and wanting to know how he feels about her now and yet embarrassed about him knowing about Lydia, etc. A situation fraught with emotion.

I agree that Mr. Bennet is sad at the thought of losing his favorite daughter Lizzy to marriage. But I also felt that somehow he felt the sting when she says Darcy is the best man she has ever known -- compared to Mr. Bennet, who never cared enough for his family to save adequate money for their dowries, who mocked his wife in front of the daughters, and who did not exercise parental control on the youngest boy-crazy daughters.

This is the very, very best of any “Pride and Prejudice” production. I watch it at least once a year.

My favorite P&P adaptation is also the 95 version. The biggest reason is because it followed the book most closely. I love 19th century English literature and all the best adaptations are the ones that stick most closely to the book.

Lizzie wasn’t making a face at Darcie when they were in the sitting room. That was pain on her face about her mother.

One thing I recently noticed in rewatching this is during the scene with the “long stares” between Lizzy and Darcy at Pemberley, watch Georgiana. She looks between the two and it’s clear, she knows what’s going on!

There is something fascinating which occurs in the book when Lizzie's father talks to her about Darcy having asked permission to marry her. He says he hasn't dared refuse permission but reminds her how much she has previously disliked the man, and far more interestingly he says he thinks she could not be happy "or respectable" if she married him. This seems to imply that he thinks that if she were unhappy with Darcy she would be unfaithful to him - he repeats this again. It's extraordinary, given the time at which the book is set, and a very modern take on the relationship between the father and his favourite daughter. I'd be so grateful to learn what your view is on this - those words are omitted from the television series, which doesn't surprise me. Thank you for your absolutely fascinating analyses.

In the scene of Bingley and Darcy first visit back to Longborn, after Lizzys feelings have changed for Darcy, I read Lizzys scowl towards Darcy as follows… She is really awkward on his first entering the room and is intently watching him, to see if he will give her any ques as to how he feels toward her, (I believe he is doing the same lol) but as her mother talks on so inappropriately (and quite abusively for the time), Elisabeth (knowing how much her family owes to him) is frowning in reaction to what her mother says but can’t take her eyes off him, watching Mr Darcy for signs of offence… that has always been my take on the performance anyway😊

Of course he means conquer his feelings for Elizabeth! I never interpreted it any other way. And after that dinner, his subtle smile when he is going to bed, passing through the gallery, is to me a sign that he sees a ray of hope that Elizabeth might still change her mind and her feelings for him.

I have seen this countless times - I’ve gone through 3 sets of DVD:s and two VHS-boxes since 1995, but I never noticed how odd it is to see Mary “shoveling” food into her mouth!

I really like the actress that plays Lady Lucas. She also featured in ‘Strong Poison’, an adaptation of one of Dorothy L Sayers books. It was a relatively small part but played perfectly.

Re Mary King, during the sequence of her dancing and Mrs Gardiner discussing her and the trip to Huntsford with the other ladies you can see Lydia who is also dancing scowling at Mary King as i suspect she's annoyed at the new competition for Wickhams attentions and of course a 10k inheritance is definitely an attraction as Mrs Gardner states. Keep up the good work Tudor always enjoy your comments and everyone else's thoughts on our favorite.

I never noticed most of these scenes and I watch this movie at least once a month. I never noticed Luisas husband was dancing with her in the beginning of your video.

The ultimate version of P&P!❣️

In the scene at Pemberley where Darcy seeks permission to introduce his sister, I always read Lizzie's look to be signalling her surprise and igniting understanding that he is still interested in her because she understands how precious Georgiana is to him. Socially Georgiana is of superior rank to Lizzie so that the request to make the introduction should really be to Georgiana not Lizzie, and in making it, Darcy is acknowledging his change of perception based on social prejudice.
