About Pride and Prejudice
Starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle as the fabled lovers Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet, this stunning production from A&E and the BBC is the definitive adaptation of Jane Austen's romantic classic. In 19th century Georgian England, a young woman owed it to her family to make an advantageous marriage. Woe, then, to the independent-spirited Elizabeth, one of five unmarried sisters, determined to wed for love. Will her recalcitrance threaten her family's future and drive away the man she's fated to love?
Disc One: Episodes 1-3
When the wealthy Mr. Bingley acquires an estate just across the countryside from the Bennet family home, he brings his conceited sisters and his inscrutable best friend, Mr. Darcy. Jane Bennet immediately clicks with Bingley while Elizabeth clashes with Darcy, whom the handsome soldier, Mr. Wickham, claims has wronged him. Unspoken passions soar as Elizabeth confronts Darcy in the climactic scene of Part One.
