I love the A&E version too. We have the videos and the coloring for some reason is not very good. But the story is very close to the book. It's funny, at first I didn't like Collin Firth when I first saw him on the screen in the film. By the end of the film I thought he was such a dreamy Mr.Darcy. He was perfect!

He was 38 years old when the series was made. I have never seen him in anything else ... and can only describe him as a smouldering, brooding omnipresence in the film. Perfect casting.

All of the casting was superb: The actors who played Canon Collins and Mrs. Bennett were born to play those roles. They define the role and the role defines them ... can one ever see either of them as anyone else?

Colin Firth... You have to see "Valmont" (1989), another take on "Dangerous Liaisons". Hubba hubba!
