I love this version of P&P! My favorite. I have all versions.
David Rintoul was superb as Darcy. Superb.
Love that scene with the dog coming around the bushes and when Darcy walks away in that field.
It took me a while to get used to Colin Firth as Darcy. He seemed too frumpy to be Darcy. After a while, I got used to him. He brought something else to the character.

I thought the exact same thing. I haven't seen Firth's version very often, so I'm still not used to him as Darcy. Olivier is another one I can't get used to, against Greer Garson. Much as I love Garson, she was just too old to play Elizabeth. For any of Austen's movies, the love interests have to be cast perfectly, otherwise they are disappointing.
