Pride and Prejudice (DVD)

Wright, Joe (2005). Pride and Prejudice.  U.S.: Universal Studios.

Summary:  The classic love story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy that is riddled with miscommunications, misunderstandings, assumptions, rumors, class differences and--you guessed it--pride and prejudice.  Based upon Jane Austen's novel and set in the countryside of 18th-century England, Pride and Prejudice follows the romances within the Bennet household, starting with  Lizzy's older sister, Jane, and Mr. Darcy's best friend, the wealthy Mr. Bingley.  

Additional comments:  Keira Knightly plays the independent and stubborn Lizzy Bennet, who will not resign to a convenient marriage, in the 2005 film production of Pride and Prejudice.  Staying mostly true to the original plot, the film version has picturesque cinematography, fabulous costumes, and passionate acting.  Not to be missed by lovers of romance.
