Pride and prejudice [videorecording]. / BBC ; producer, Jonathan Powell ; director, Cyril Coke ; screenplay, Fay Weldon.
"Shot on location in the beautiful English countryside, this flurry of romantic courtships and unfounded prejudice springs vividly to life in this remastered production of Jane Austen's most famous novel Pride and prejudice. The story of the lively, precocious and very eligible Bennet girls captures all the nuances of 18th century life among the English gentry, a society obsessed with profitable marriage contracts. When the wealthy and aloof Mr. Darcy insults Elizabeth Bennet at a dance, the tension and romance of their relationship is sparked, while the family beauty Jane attracts the attention of a gentleman presumed to be above her station. Her flirtatious younger sister Lydia lands herself in a steamy scandal that could ruin the reputation and 'chances' of all the Bennet sisters."--Container.
