Aw c'mon it's Pride and Prejudice, where's his cravat

But I enjoyed that, it would've been great if they had kept on skating together

And her dress is all wrong. That ribbon should be higher and when you cut an Empire dress off above the knee, it sort of just misses the whole point, which is to emphasize the torso and legs as one flowing line, like a Greek statue.

I'm sorry this team threw in the towel. They had such unfulfilled potential.

Random comment: Igor Shpilband needs to share his magic potion that allows him to not age with Marina Zueva

Stairway to Heaven simply does NOT WORK for ID.

But isn't it great how far they've come since then, including their choices of music?

LOL like the Greer Garson/Larry Olivier P&P? They're both wayyyyyyyyyy too old for the parts and the costuming is hilariously wrong. They used those costumes because the studio had them from another film and were trying to cut costs.

But it shows (clutches pearls) thighs, Regency English ladies would've fainted

Actually Regency mothers would wet the dress after their daughter was in it so it would cling to the body, all the better to catch a Mr Darcy's eye in a very crowded ballroom. The Regency folk were far from prudes.

Did not know this version existed (sorry for being young) so looked up on Wikipedia, how on earth did they think casting actors in their 30s as people in their 20s was going to be all right

If I ever write a Regency romance story I'm going to utilize this particular bit of info

The Most Valid version of P&P is of course the 1995 BBC version, with Colin Firth as Mr Darcy :love:

I'm a Jane Austen uberfan. I even have the Mormon version of P&P which is hilariously awful. The Bollywood version is very enjoyable. The Garson/Olivier version is worth watching once, but they do, in typical Golden Hollywood fashion, make some strange alterations to the plot. And the dresses are at least 30 years too far into the future. Elizabeth Bennett in a hoop skirt...you keep waiting for her to say, After all, tomorrow is another day.

After two years I still actively dig Carolane's green dress even though I'd look like shriveled spinach in it

Mr Firius, you are in tails. A bow tie is DE RIGEUR in this case. Tsk tsk tsk.

Well this program was so good that everything they've done since then pales in comparison, though the Tom Jones program is fun. But man, they should just FLEE from Montreal, which is doing them NO FAVORS.
