This BBC/A&E production is one of the most well made films my wife and I have ever seen - trustworthy acting, costumes, sets and state, music, directing, editing!! Like others here, we have watched the A&E VHS edition over and over. (It is a ‘chick flick’, but I relish romantic movies, too.)

Our excitement over getting the DVD aged upon loading both the VHS tape and DVD and comparing the images and sound. The widescreen image on the DVD is definitely more sure on our 50″ high res cover, and it is a pleasure to search for the fat images framed as the Director intended.

HOWEVER, the colors are not fair washed out. The digital remastering has changed the color tone of the film as if someone venerable a Photoshop/Premier digital filter without bright what they were doing. The VHS and fresh not only had rich color saturation, but also had a warm tone that felt ‘right’ with the period film. The DVD is not only washed out, but has a strong blue-white tone to it that gives a wintry new feel to the scenes.

To pick up the image to peruse cessation to decent on our TV, I had to turn the color saturation up as far as it would go, bring the dissimilarity down and the brightness up. It then almost matched the VHS images except for the blue-ish rather than warm overall cast.

The sound is tinny, great of the lower frequencies that are on the VHS sound track being chopped off.

There are no subtitles at all (we frequently turn them on for other DVDs when we cannot quite execute out the dialog) - worthy less alternative language tracks.

So, why is this edition ‘Special’? The only additions, other than the abysmal digital remastering (digital destruction) are:

(1) an 8-page booklet (that mentions only 3 of the actors)

(2) some text-only biography screens, that mention only 2 of the actors

(3) a 20-some cramped ‘making of’ feature that gives the producer most of the credit (and she did of course build the team together, but the director/editor/actors/choreographer/costumers/etc produced the art) - and which quiet only visits with 4 of the actors - out of this tremendously talented cast.

What was supposed to be a ’special’ Christmas gift, ended up being a expansive disappointment. We can only hope that A&E and BBC will manufacture an ‘Extra Special’ edition that gets the color and sound abet to the director’s device (did he even collect to review this DVD? ) . That, and a rebate for all of us who bought this scandalous edition, would effect us contented enough. Adding subtitles, profiles of everyone else interested in the production, and stills of the various homes, heritage buildings and towns worn would be (delightful, but optional) gravy.

“Pride and Prejudice” is one of the top 10 novels ever written. The BBC miniseries with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle is the finest adaptation to date. The actors are qualified. The conceal play is correct, comprehensive, parsimonious, and fascinating. The dialogue is fine and preserves noteworthy of Jane Austin’s witty and wry commentary. The cinematography is estimable. The film was shot in authentic locations all over Britain.

I view the film adaptation by the BBC and A&E was so lovely, I bought the VCR tapes when they were released, then I bought the lazer disk version, and then I bought the DVD version. The DVD version is a spacious stout disappointment. The quality of the DVD transfer is NOT marvelous.

First, the colors appear stale and with the Regency English palette of beige-greens, browns, ambers, and taupes, this is a serious defect. It makes the clothing search for customary, the grass and trees contemplate sunburned, and some places, the complexions scrutinize downright washed out. The film appears to have been shot in Arizona at high noon instead of England.

Second, for some bizarre reason, the DVD processors nipped and tucked some of the new material. The clipped portions might not bother one who has never seen the original–but I noticed. There was no need to edit this film. Four of the 50-minute sections are crammed on disk 1 (where the editing takes site) and the other two were recorded on disk 2. I guess it would have made too noteworthy sense to report three episodes on each disk? Seems like unpleasant planning to me.

For the sign of this 2-disk DVD package, more care should have been taken with the transfer process. My lazer disk version cost less, holds more, and has stunning resolution.
