There is no version that comes as close to this one in capturing the essence of the novel and this actress personifies Lizzie’s wit and intelligence as well as her warmth.
Anything is better than Keira Knightly as Elizabeth Bennet. Yeek! Still can't get over her giggling like a meniac when she sees Darcy for the first time. Even this Darcy is better than 2005's Mathew's performance. He looked way awkward and absurd. Not good looking either.
On a similar note, I just recently heard this song once more and realized when I saw his face how she's much like a siren in that moment😂 Not necessarily bad since she is entirely morally good, when compared to the sirens of some ol' stories.
"Ash Grove" is my favorite song after I see the movie Pride and Prejudice. The song describes the beautiful English countryside with a little sadness at the end.
This reminds me, I really want to learn this song, and the piano chords that she is playing!!! Does anyone here have an inkling of where I may find the sheet music. And if someone says a vague answer such as, "Have you tried the internet?..." I will simply chuckle, and then continue searching music stores and sheet music websites. The answer I do seek is any specific music stores or sheet music websites, etc.
What I love about comparing the different versions of the story in cinema and television is that they tell as much about the director's vision and priorities as they do about the beauty ideals and styles of the time at which they were made. Because while all of them aim to represent either the 1790s or the 1810s as accurately as possible, there's always a bit of 40s, 50s, 60s, 80s, 90s and 00s shining through. In this one, just look at her facial shape (typical beauty ideal of the 80s), the subtle light lipstick, the slightly different hairstyles as compared to other versions (more focus on locks - also typically 80s. Accurate 1810s styles usually had hair in buns).
I agree! I also think his facial expression is Quite priceless as he walks slowly towards the piano. 😊 (this coming from a Huge fan of priceless facial expressions)
We sang Let All Things Now Living at church this morning and it's to this tune! I was like.. this sounds familiar and pictured this scene. Love this movie. Grew up watching it. It's so comforting. ❤
I don't even remember how I didn't like this Mr. Darcy at first, the more I watch the series the more I find he's the best Darcy. And Elizabeth Garvey's portrayal of Lizzie is excellent, no need to argue about this 😊
"Her performance was pleasing, though by no means capital. After a song or two, and before she could reply to the entreaties of several that she would sing again..." It is a pity that Elizabeth never had a governess, or a tutor, or a master who could give her proper music lessons. I am confident that if she had one, her performance would be both pleasing and capital.
I love this mini series better than the 1995 version although I love both versions with this one having a slight edge over the other. This piano scene is also one of my favorites which I believe that Mr. Darcy first fell in love with Elizabeth.:-) What a moment! Her beautiful singing voice cannot help but make Mr. Darcy attracted to her even more.
Thanks for posting this...Miss Garvie and Miss Richard are brilliant...too bad I can't find anything about Irene Richard on the net :(...she looks as radiant as Elizabeth Garvie here :)
Haha you didn't show the next part, the funny part where Mr. Darcy looks astonished (thereby breaking his straight face) . . . am I remembering it accurately...? hm, now I'll have to rewatch it. I sincerely thank you for posting this! I shall rewatch the whole movie and have a delightful chuckle when Mary begins to play and Darcy reacts Most Brilliantly!!!

This is the first adaptation of the novel I ever saw--I liked it so much, I got the book out of the local library, and had finished it well before the miniseries concluded. I know why people prefer Colin Firth's Darcy. He's cuddlier. But that's why I don't think so much of him. Nothing against Firth, but it's hard to respect Lizzie's perceptiveness about Darcy when he's gazing at her with embarrassed puppydog eyes. Rintoul's Darcy is outwardly cool, composed. He does not look like a man in love. But he keeps looking. Much easier to understand how she might misjudge him, until he shows through deeds what he could not through words. P&P is slotted as a romance--wrong. It's social satire. Comedy of manners. The romantic fantasy, sells it. Austen astutely assessed her audience, and so was able to make many points about the world around her, while still making her satiric arrows strike home. This is better satire than the plusher 90's adaptation, where Lizzie seems far too self-possessed to be fooled by anyone, and Darcy is more of an overgrown lovestruck schoolboy. The 1980 sticks to Austen much better, which is why I like it more. Still, neither is 100% faithful.
David Rintoul adds a new adjective to the glossary of acting terms: "wooden" comes to mind. He's stiff as a board throughout the entire series and never do you see him as vulnerable or even interesting
I feel like his performance is much like Darcy himself… I hated it when I first saw it, but the more I come back to these clips and this version (because I absolutely love this Lizzie), the more I like him. You can see everything going on in his head through his eyes. It helps that we know the story, of course. I still think he is way too wooden but I like it much more than I did several years ago - especially the transformation scenes.
@@singingstar999 Same for me. At first I didn't like this Darcy but the more I come back to the series (due to the excellent portrayal of Elizabeth Garvie as Lizzy 😌), the more his performance grows on me. Now I consider he's the best Mr. Darcy
Olá Valéria! Queria te perguntar uma coisa: onde você consegue ver essa série da BBC? Aqui no TH-cam eu só consigo ver esses trechos que você mesma postou. Não consegui encontrar a totalidade dos vídeos nem desta versão de 1980, nem mesmo da versão de 1995 (mas desta há mais trechos postados no TH-cam). A única versão disponível para compra é a de 2005... Obrigada pela informação! E Feliz Natal!
This Elizabeth is the most musically accomplished among all that I have seen in all the movies and dramas!
The actresses that play Lizzie and Jane are soooo incredibly beautiful and elegant😍😍😍😍
There is no version that comes as close to this one in capturing the essence of the novel and this actress personifies Lizzie’s wit and intelligence as well as her warmth.
What about the 1995 version?
No. 1995 version better

That Lizzy looks just right. She's so pretty.
She is the best Lizzy in my opinion.
Such a stunning scene - and perhaps captures the moment Mr. Darcy is affected by Elizabeth's charms.
On a similar note,

He looked real stalker-y while she was singing.

Lizzy is simply fresh and stunning and full of natural skills in speaking.
I agree!

@@Myself-anonymously I love your comment 😂
Their portrayals of the two main characters are excellent
The joy of his heart, indeed.

This Darcy is like a wooden post. I would say the post has more expression.
Have you never heard of the Stiff Upper Lip??
It's so subtle. Watch the micro-expressions on his face! He's the best!
@@youtubeuserthinker Like when his eyebrows lifted up after her statement about using your breath on porridge!
😂
The character is as written by Jane Austin. He’s then explained as someone who is very uncomfortable with people he doesn’t know.
this is my favorite lizzy among all PnP movie and tv series
She's my favorite too.
Charlotte is so beautiful.

Прекрасная песня и красивое платье. Это самая лучшая Лиззи,она так красиво играет и поет,да и вообще красавица,у неё красивый тембр голоса

The definitive Darcy
Awesome

Tava procurando esses episódios há um tempinho muito obrigada!
Se eu não soubesse tudo meio que de cor eu até pediria legenda :)
This lizzy can sing and play the piano beautifully! The other actresses who have played lizzy did not sing that well.
The most creepiest Mr Darcy.
It would surprise u that most men of this age is like this darcy.
But Colin Firth is STILL THE BEST DARCY. this guy is too rigid.
Besides, he looks a male doll
In my opinion, Colin Firth looks too gentle and pleasant to play Darcy even though he's a good actor
@@julia_btflnot when he's playing Darcy's character. He's perfect
David Rintoul adds a new adjective to the glossary of acting terms: "wooden" comes to mind. He's stiff as a board throughout the entire series and never do you see him as vulnerable or even interesting
The scene at Pemberley when he meets Mr. and Mrs. Gardner begins to show his personal side.
I feel like his performance is much like Darcy himself… I hated it when I first saw it, but the more I come back to these clips and this version (because I absolutely love this Lizzie), the more I like him.

I have seen this si many times. But this Darcy is only better than Mathew's.
I love this version except for Mr. Rintoul.
Игра этого актёра более тонкая. Мне эта версия больше нравится

Этой версии мистер Дарси как будто проглотил кол.
Colin is the best darcy
I have always preferred Rintoul.
Most people like this version only because of Elizabeth. But even she lacks that spirited nature in Jennifer's version.
Elizabeth Garvey is the best Lizzy, even if I like Jennifer Ehle as well. I love this scene. I do not care for this Darcy. I prefer Colin Firth.
Yes, she's the best Elizabeth Benett for me too.
@@Shoujofan And such a wonderful ant totaly charming singer!
Tava procurando esses epjisó
Is it just me, or does Lizzy speak with a weird accent? Her intonation sounds a bit American in places
Melhor Mr,Darcy = Colin Firth coma melhor Lizzi 1995 série BBC
