“David Rintoul”
I will have to look for the 1980 BBC series.
“BTW, Austin’s Darcy never jumped in the lake!”
We know, but we got to see Darcy’s nipples and he was all wet and cute when he ran into Elizabeth. Haha.
That’s the downside of Firth’s Darcy. Austen’s aristocratic Mr.Darcy would never do something like that, the times he lived in would not dream of such a thing. The “sexual” tension between Darcy and Eliza is so appealingly understated, which is the beauty of Austen’s novel. Bringing our 21st C notions into the 18th C loses its charm and appeal (to me). I’m a hopeless originalist I guess.
