Pride & Prejudice 1995 More Things You Might Have Missed
#darcy #elizabethbennet #prideandprejudice
I found a few more interesting scenes in the BBC 1995 adaptation of Pride & Prejudice. Drop me a comment if you know of any other interesting moments that might be worth covering.

I think in the dog scene Darcy sees that Elizabeth is a person who finds joy in life, and he begins to think that he would like some of that. His life is so stuffy and his companions so boring. She's the proverbial breath of fresh air.

I love how when Elizabeth and Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner visit Pemberley and Darcy is very amiable. Elizabeth says something to the effect of I can't understand what has caused this change in his demeanor, and Mrs. Gardiner says knowingly "Can you not?" Mrs. Gardiner knew immediately that Darcy was in love with Elizabeth hence Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner walk behind Darcy and Elizabeth and hang back a bit so those two can stroll the grounds of Pemberley and speak with a little privacy.

This is my favourite adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. In the scene where Darcy is watching Lizzie with the dog, he is perhaps thinking that he might enjoy her liveliness. In the Pemberley scene where CB mentions Wickham, I think that Darcy was going to go to his sister perhaps put himself between her and Caroline. But Lizzie got there first and did so in a way that covered his sister's distress. If he isn't in love by that point, he is now. 😊

I agree. I've seen bits and pieces of the more recent one with Kiera Knightly, I think her name is, and it just looks atrocious. They all look disheveled. And they have bad posture (although not as bad as some even more recent period films I've seen) and sit in a sloppy manner. Someone on set did not understand that proper deportment would have been drilled into the girls starting around age 2 or 3. Someone would have always been nagging them about their posture and the state of their clothes and hair. So by the time they were of marriageable age, they would have had a right big ramrod up their ass.

I've always taken Charlotte's look essentially as a bit of resignation, yes she's 'scheming' but at the same time she's aware of the facts he's a ninny. She's willing to encourage him to propose, and accept him even though she knows he's not smart. As she says later he's not vicious, he's respected and can give her what she wants/needs. She's aware of her status as an old maid and what will happen if she's not married.

I hope you make more of these videos about P&P 1995. I've loved this miniseries since I was 9 years old, and I watch it every year on December 16 to celebrate Jane Austen's birthday! Another interesting moment that I believe people might have missed occurred in Episode 3, after Elizabeth introduced Wickham to her parents. Mrs. Bennet comments on how charming Wickham is. Sarcastically, Mr. Bennet responds, "It was very good of him to entertain us so eloquently with stories of his misfortune. With such narratives at hand, who would read novels?" Elizabeth, slightly affronted, passionately defends Wickham. The brief look Mr. Bennet gives Lizzy hints at his slight disappointment in her. He always saw her as the smartest, most perceptive, and most clear-sighted of all his daughters. I always felt that Mr. Bennet was the only one who kind of saw through Wickham's facade and was a bit disappointed that Elizabeth wasn't able to do the same. That look he gave her seems to say, "You really don't see that he's playing all of us, do you? I expected better from you, Lizzy." 🧐

I need to make some more - they're obviously popular, not withstanding the much loved subject.

Strange though that later, Mr. Bennet says to Lizzy "Let Wickham be your man!".

Tbf, Mr. Bennet didn't mean to imply that Wickham be her man; Mr. B was saying that W would do a credible job at jilting a girl and that since girls like to be star crossed now and again, why not let W do that? I think Mr. B was trashing on W in a subtle way in that exchange. ​@TudorSmith

@@TudorSmith "Let Wickham be your man. He is a pleasant fellow, and would jilt you creditably." Mr. Bennet loves making fun of people, particularly his own daughters. I think he's detected Lizzy's blindspot and is roasting her for it. I love this quote because it really packs a punch, if you consider the irony and foreshadowing of it all. Elizabeth eventually does gets “jilted,” in a way, when Wickhman attached himself to the wealthy heiress Mary King. It also subtly gives insight into Wickham's true insidious character -- a slight “mask slip” that momentarily exposes his mercenary nature. I also think it’s very ironic that Mr. Bennet is teasing Elizabeth about being blinded by Wickham’s charms, if you consider the backstory of Mr. & Mrs. Bennet’s marriage. In his youth, Mr. Bennet was initially dazzled by young Mrs. Bennet’s beauty and charm. Only after his marriage did he realize that their marriage was based on shallow attraction and that his “beautiful” & “charming” wife is actually a very stupid & vulgar woman. Basically, his dysfunctional family is a result of a marriage based on unequal minds. Mr. Bennet himself has his own blindspots. I think that’s why, despite his disappointment in Lizzy, he always consistently regarded her as someone with a good head on her shoulders. That look he gave Elizabeth was really an amazing but fleeting moment. Benjamin Whitrow is a true master in nuanced and subtle acting. His microexpressions are a joy to watch.

I always thought Charlotte's pause after she offered to invite Mr. Collins to dine with her family, right after Lizzy had rejected his marriage proposal, indicated that she realized in that moment that a hurt and embarrassed Mr. Collins would very likely try to salve his injured pride and vanity by proposing to the next woman who offered him any kindness. She doesn't like or dislike him at this point, but she knows that he can offer her a comfortable home, and her unromantic nature would require little else in a marriage. She would have no reason to reject him, so she is resigning herself to the choice she is about to make.

I think Lizzy is still absorbing how polite Darcy is being, how welcoming, and she is aware of the honor he is doing her by wanting to introduce his sister to her. I LOVE how Darcy takes her hands in the inn and then sort of realizes what he is doing and takes his hands away. I think when Darcy and Bingley come back to Longbourn Lizzy is embarrassed and wanting to know how he feels about her now and yet embarrassed about him knowing about Lydia, etc. A situation fraught with emotion.
@premanadi
@premanadi 12 дней назад
It's made very clear in the book that Darcy's request to introduce his sister is flattering and pleasing to Lizzy and she considers it to be highly complimentary of her: "The surprise of such an application was great indeed; it was too great for her to know in what manner she acceded to it. She immediately felt that whatever desire Miss Darcy might have of being acquainted with her must be the work of her brother, and, without looking farther, it was satisfactory; it was gratifying to know that his resentment had not made him think really ill of her. They now walked on in silence, each of them deep in thought. Elizabeth was not comfortable: that was impossible; but she was flattered and pleased. His wish of introducing his sister to her was a compliment of the highest kind." Ergo, proof that he still loves her (which is exactly what she had been wondering immediately before his request to introduce his sister to her: "It is impossible that he should still love me"). So she is embarrassed, a bit uncomfortable, confused and deeply flattered/pleased, which I think is well expressed by her expression in the scene, considering she cannot verbally express it.

Regarding the brief hand grasp scene. Watching that scene, it's obvious Darcy wants to do more. He wants to hold her. Comfort her closely and soothe her upset. It's the culture and social propriety of the era literally holding him back. His momentary grasp of her hand...watch the point where he lets go. He does not want to at all, but he has caught himself being (for the era) inappropriate. The release is VERY careful. He doesn't drop her hand like it's a hot potato like a barely cultured idiot. The release is so subtly done and gentle while in a moment of Lizzy's upset, it takes me back to nearly the beginning of the book where Bingley and Darcy are being described and compared. Darcy is clever. I take this moment as pure Darcy. He feels very strongly for Elizabeth, but he just had a small social "oops" by grabbing her. Instead of making the small faux pas obvious, he quietly and carefully corrects it just as quickly as the brief error was made. And the unspoken agreement (a MILLION of those in the societal understandings of the Regency) is "I'll forget the display of emotional distress, and you forget I grabbed you." And they do. It's why the 1995 version was my favorite. All the subtleties. And it's why I needed that teacup and saucer (Royal Antoinette by Royal Crown Derby). I got it, but no way can I truly consider getting the whole service!

Lizzy is looking at Darcy in that funny way at Longborn toward the end because she is frustrated that he has clearly come to see her, but has retreated again into silence and stand-offishness. This is covered in great detail in the book. He simply can't be his true self around the rest of the Bennett family, especially Mrs Bennett. His shyness takes over and he is paralyzed. But Lizzy doesn't fully understand him yet. Of course, as soon as he gets her alone, he is ready to try proposing for the final time.

You point out a lot of interesting elements and give us a lot to think about. Thank you. When Darcy starts to stand, I don’t think he really knows what he’s going to do; he just instinctively wanted to protect Georgiana. However, anything he did would just have drawn attention to something both Darcy and Georgiana wanted kept secret. He was lucky that Lizzy was so quick thinking. As for the look on Lizzy’s face after Darcy’s request to introduce his sister, I don’t think it indicates reluctance as much confusion. Darcy has been surprisingly civil so far, but introducing Georgiana is an honor that goes far beyond civility.

I saw an interview with Andrew Davis. the guy who wrote the TV script and he said that Darcy was going to propose. However in the book there is no suggestion of a proposal. I would say it was merely a social call in order to make more progress with Elizabeth, but primarily a plot device because it is crucial that Darcy finds out about the Lydia/Whickham elopement. Otherwise Lizzy and the Gardiners would have left Lambton leaving an excuse about Mr Gardiners business calling him back and Lydia would never have been found before Whickham abandoned her to total ruin. Lizzy might never have seen Darcy again, the Bennets would have been socially untouchable without the marriage that Darcy arranged. Darcy had to be informed of the elopement and this was an ideal way to do so.
@marilynsobel7414
@marilynsobel7414 15 дней назад
@@MichaelRooke-pe6oy I agree. In the movie we see Elizabeth giving Darcy some hope, but in the book they merely visit the ladies, the gentlemen come in, and there is the little scene about Wickham. In the book we are explicitly told that Darcy half-rises from his seat on hearing Wickham's name and waiting for Elizabeth's response. I liked the way they set it up in the TV series; in the book you aren't told why Darcy is visiting Elizabeth (who is conveniently alone reading her letters, another detail in Austen's excellent plotting). It is safe to assume he wanted to continue building the good impression he is trying to create.

I surmised that Charlotte decided Mr. Collins was her ticket out of Spinsterhood and after seeing how disagreeable everyone was toward him, she wouldn't be thought of as in interloper. Elizabeth's looks directed at Darcy during the visit where Mr. Bingley proposes were a sizing up. A reading of the temperature perhaps, mingled with a wonder at her new feelings for him. I agree that Mrs. Gardner was no fan of Mrs. Bennett. I think Mary was eating at the gathering because that is what a logical person would do when food was around, and Mary was always logical. I don't think Elizabeth was unwilling to meet Georgiana Darcy. I think she was afraid to be close to Mr. Darcy because she knew her feelings were changing and she didn't want that discovered till she could sort it out herself.

About the little scene of Darcy walking with Lizzie at Pemberly. I think her facial expression betrays that she sees him in a different light.

I also think that both Lizzie and Mr. Darcy exhibit pride and prejudice in their feelings and actions. They both have to overcome those in order to see the other in the best possible way and fall in love. Thanks for the delightful glimpses and explanations. The 1995 adaptation is my favorite too.

Agree. Lizzie and Charlotte exchange glances which gives Lizzie an incentive to walk past Darcy and deliberately ignore him, a passive aggressive counter snub. But we must keep in mind that a stage direction in the miniseries is often not relayed to us in Austen's book. Nonetheless, I consider it a good addition that is in keeping with the characters and it gives us a visual foreshadowing of the increasing intensity of their reaction to each other.

After watching this I started watching the making of P&P and noticed something in the very opening scene - Darcy and Bingley riding up to look at Netherfield. Bingley's horse is white, Darcy's is black - a metaphor for their (apparent) characters and personalities right - Bingley light and cheery, Darcy dark and brooding. Clever stuff.

When Lizzy looks away after accepting D'Arcy's invitation to meet his sister, I don't think Lizzy was just being polite. By this time she has learned that Wickham isn't all he claimed to be from D'Arcy's letter and from one other source. And that perhaps D'Arcy is a better man than she thought. She's warming up to him and I believe she genuinely wants to meet Georgiana. Later, when D'Arcy and Bingley show up at Longborne I don't think Lizzy is glowering at D'Arcy. She knows what he did for Lydia and she's in love with him at this point. The expression on Jennifer Ehle's face is a bit of less than stellar acting. When Caroline mentions Wickham, I think D'Arcy started to go to his sister in case she became upset but saw that Lizzy had the situation in hand since she knew of Georgiana's relationship with Wickham. I love this version of Pride and Prejudice the best.

I think in the scene at Longbourne when Bingley and D'arcy first return, Jennifer Ehle is showing the confusion Jane Austen recounts in the book: in this scene she gives Elizabeth's thoughts. She is embarrassed, and trying to read D'Arcy's feelings, and govern her own by them, but D'Arcy is doing the same, thus they are both unsure how to act towards each other. Jennifer Ehle expresses this confusion in her glance.

The strained looks from Elizabeth toward Darcy in the Parlor scene when Bingly and Darcy return, the visit just before Bingly proposes to Jane are due to Mrs. Bennett talking!

1995 version is my favorite too! I really agree with most of your observations, never really thought about the look from Charlotte at the wedding but that is great! The look from the walk at Pemberly I always felt was Lizzy still being embarrassed getting caught for trespassing since she had been so mean to him. And now he is being so nice, I think she is struggling to believe that he could be this nice to her after all the awful things she said to him, that she now knows are untrue but she isn't yet ready to tell him so. As far as the Wickham name drop at Pemberly I feel Darcy was going to go make sure Gorgianna was ok and would maybe give Caroline a toungelashing later. However Lizzy stepping up to cover shows him that she is on his side now, and the smile he gives her is my favorite part. I feel Mrs Gardner puts up with Mrs Bennet because you can't choose your in-laws like you can your spouse. I have always found it hilarious that Mary is stuffing the last bite of what she is eating so she can clap so funny. I just thought it was to help her be more awkward. And I would love to know what Caroline and Darcy are saying to each other at Merrition ball. I love all your insights and thoughts! Thanks for the video.

"I must conquer this" is 100% a reference to him trying to conquer the unrequited love and his despair over it. The dip in the lake is supposed to be a metaphor for the fire within him he's trying to quench. When he rides up to his house on the horse before jumping in the lake that long look he throws at the mansion made me feel like he's thinking "I was hoping to bring a wife and mistress for this house but I come back alone to keep living here".

At Pemberley, Lizzie has just been embarrassed when Darcy returns unexpectedly, because she thinks it looks like she has been displaying an inordinate curiosity about him - almost as if she has been caught snooping. That wasn't what she was doing, but she believes it probably looks that way to Darcy. When he generously offers to introduce her to Georgiana, she's still somewhat embarrassed. She doesn't want to appear too eager, lest it confirm what (she believes) Darcy thinks about her. There's also an element of surprised confusion that Darcy is being kind and welcoming her.

I even love the home of Mr. Collins even though the closet has shelves. I could quite easily be very happy in that home or the Bennett home.

Darcy is immediately infatuated with Lizzy but tries to deny it to himself through most of the series (book) because he's socially/economically her superior. Its obvious he has prejudice; he distains her family and she has pride; which reads as defensiveness. I found a 4 disc set of this particular production with production/location information about 25 years ago and, though it seemed expensive at the time, I bought it and I'm so glad I did!

I believe that Mary, who quotes bible verses to her sisters multiple times has set her cap toward Mr. Collins who the Vicar of Rosings Park Church. In the scene where Mr. Collins arrives at the Bennet's home and exits the carriage, the camera is looking directly at the Bennet family. You can see Mary quickly smooth back her hair to make herself as presentable as possible as she looks directly at Mr. Collins. As you rightly mentioned Tudor, at dinner that night she smiles and looks so please as Mr. Collins mentions that there is only a small lane separating his garden from Lady Catherine De Bourgh's. There is also a scene before the grand ball where Lizzy, Mr Collins and Mary are standing together in the Bennet's house and Mr Collins makes a special point of saying he wanted stay near Lizzy (or dance with her or something like that) at the ball. Mary is smiling happily as she looks a Mr. Collins until she realizes she is speaking to Lizzy, not her. Then her smile leaves her face. In my opinion Mary has set her cap at Mr. Collins.

I agree with this. While Mr Darcy helped with Lydia, he did so from a distance to the Bennett family. Elizabeth is worried Darcy is reminded how inaproppriate her mother especially can be in social situations and further reminded that her family will have a permanent corner in Darcy's life when he marries Elizabeth. I don't think she's downright worried that he'll cancel the engagement and the wedding, but he might show his rude side to her family if he finds them too far below his standards.

Regarding Lizzy showing her pride when she is invited to meet Georgiana, I always assumed she was recalling the conversations Mr Wickham had with her. He described her as quite proud, almost to a disagreeable amount. The footage we get, show Georgiana with a snobby expression. Of course, once we get to know the real young lady, we are invited to doubt Mr Wickham's words, just like earlier in the day when the housekeeper said Mr Darcy is the kindest of masters. These are hints, spoonfed, to undermine Wickham's story. But at this point in time, Lizzy probably thinks of Georgiana as a proud snob.

@Cat_Woods
@Cat_Woods 18 дней назад
The Bingleys got their money from trade, too. ---- I think the moment Elizabeth started falling for Darcy was before he showed up at Pemberly, while she was gazing at his portrait. Portraits were a big deal. --- Charlotte was realizing her whole life laid out ahead of her, more with resignation than decision. From that moment, having agreed to take Mr. Collins off the Bennett's hands, it was inevitable that she would end up married to him, "one of the stupidest men in England." That's the moment you can tell that, although she made the best of it, she knew why she would want to avoid spending more than 10 minutes a day in his company. She knows he's a tiresome idiot, but she also knows it's a "good match" for her when "seen in a providential light." --- When Elizabeth agrees to meeting Georgiana, I think she's still baffled as to what to make of it all. There's no way she can take his request as anything but friendly and polite, but it still goes against both her prior prejudices against him and their personal history with each other. I think it's dawning on her that he's not holding that against her, so she's glad for it. She's just a bit confused, embarrassed, and a little afraid to get her hopes up after dashing his when he proposed. She does know that she's not really in his league, whatever she later says to Lady Catherine. She knew that back when she refused him ("I believe the established mode is one of obligation") but back then, she didn't care. Now she does. How does she navigate that? --- I didn't think Elizabeth was scowling at Darcy. She was scowling at her mother's ATROCIOUS behavior and praying that Darcy doesn't take too much offense from it (perhaps trying to telegraph that to him occasionally). And she is again embarrassed by this situation.

He says, “ such as I would have still been, if not for you, dearest and loveliest Elizabeth. His love and admiration for her helped him conquer it.

Oh no. I disagree. In the sword scene, he is trying to change his ways of being aloof and standoffish. It is very difficult to change oneself. He has to conquer his pride, just as she has to conquer her prejudice. He remarks of it in the proposal scene, saying how he would never forget her remarks. He is determined to change.

​@@TudorSmithAt Rosings, when talking to Lizzy & Fitzwilliam at the pianoforte, Darcy remarked that he had not that ease of talking to strangers that some do. (Shy? A bit insecure?) Yet, at the dance in Meryton he felt himself in "insupportable" & "Savage" society (Pride), but I think he was more comfortable with people only upon getting to know them. Also~ I was struck by his saying when he proposed the second time, that he said that As much as he respected Lizzy's parents, he thought only of Her when he made the financial arrangements to marry Wickham to Lydia. He didn't initially respect their social status in relation to his~ and of course he found Mrs. Benet (sp?) intolerable! (Still, on His Side, he had the awful Lady Catherine!!)

Thank you so much for this video. It’s a fresh air in P&P’95 😊 some of your references I have never noticed such as Mrs Lucas or Mary King. And that is so good for fans like me. I share the same opinion about Mr Darcy thoughts when they were alone chatting about living closer Longborn. That scene is priceless. About what will Mr Darcy conquer it’s a great enigma! 😊 not in the book. To my self he’s trying to conquer the peace of his heart. Probably I will be back later for another comment.

When Lizzie finally got through to him, you can see Charlotte thinking, “Well, waste not, want not. I’ll have him, then,” like someone stopping you from tossing away a perfectly good sandwich.

I am always feel sorry for Charlotte when she made decision to invite Mr Collins to her home (after his rejected proposal to Lizzie). She was not looking happy at all. May be at double wedding Charlotte too remembered the time when she was the bride in this church herself. Again, this is not particularly happy thoughts. Am still fascinated with costumes. One of my favourite moments: at Pemberly when they walk, Elizabeth's bonnet ribbons are blowing by wind in Mr Darcy's direction. I think it even brushed him at some point. Sweet little detail 😊 Also I never paid attention how much Elizabeth's nightgown change through series. At first bedtime talk with Jane she wear something that resemble man's long sleeve shirt. It is actually very much suited her "I would never marry" speech. But when Lizzie confessed to Jane about her being in love with Mr Darcy, her nightgown are far more... appealing😂

The outdoor scenes at Pemberley bother me, costume-wise. It's the middle of summer, so warm that D'Arcy has just jumped in the pond, but Lizzie and the Gardners are dressed as though it's mid-Autumn, bundled in what looks to be warm jackets, gloves and hats. (Yes, I realize he's been exerting himself while riding, however as he saunters to the house in his wet clothes he doesn't appear chilled.) Other than that though, the scenes between D'Arcy and Elizabeth at Pemberley are my favorites.

Ah yes. She would want answers wouldn’t she. She knows how it all panned out because of her letters to her aunt. Darcy later informed her that he did it all for her but at this point she doesn’t know that. She may well be wondering why he did it and so the scowl look could point to that?

Yes indeed. She had high hopes I guess. But her union with Mr. Collins would have spun a different angle on the story all together. How clever was Jane Austen in her plot development to exclude Mary from any attention of Mr. Collins? Of course we might remember how Lady Catherine had given him instructions on choosing his wife and when Mrs Bennet (in the garden) tells Collins that Jane is soon to be engaged, we see a POV camera span of the other available sisters and he seems to dismiss the younger three!

13:41 I get the feeling that Darcy didn't know what to do in that scene either, when he moves to stand up before Lizzie intervenes. He felt he had to do something, but he didn't have an instant plan of action. Remember when Caroline Bingley earlier in the series "confides" in Elizabeth about Wickham's character and how he treated Darcy in an infamous manner but she doesn't remember the particulars. I'm pretty sure she doesn't even know the particulars, that it involved Georgiana Darcy. So I don't think Darcy could admonish Caroline Bingley without revealing or at least hinting at it. Also, Darcy making a scene about Wickham being mentioned would make Georgiana embarrassed about her own misstep all over again so he wouldn't do that either. The only think he might be able to do is steer the conversation elsewehre like Elizabeth does, but he would probably do that much less tact.

First, congrats to such a success of a video, that particular was the one that got me as a recommended video that led me to your channel! I have been rewatching the 1995 Pride and Prejudice while rereading the book and have become more hyper-aware of little bits here and there. One, I always thought Mary was quite impressed by Mr. Collins and his talk, the first time I figured it was even with Mr. Collins' arrival, he comes out of his carriage and what does Mary do? She touches the back of her head "Oh? OH. Let me fix myself up for him" even before the dinner scene. The fencing scene? I was in 5th grade (US) when I watched this in Language Arts class (a week-long excuse for my teacher to distract us with what to do while finals were going on), and Darcy's "I shall conquer this", even as young as I was, the first time I ever saw or heard of Pride and Prejudice, I went "OH, he's still in love with her".

Darcy tells no one about his sister and Wickham in order to protect his sister’s honor. Caroline nor anyone else knows nothing of the incident. This is why Darcy feels so responsible for what happens with Lydia and Wickham. He knew Wickham preyed on young women and could have exposed him, but he didn’t want any black mark on his family’s name. Thus Wickham was free to prey on other women.

I think you're a little bit confused. The scene where Mr. Collins compares the room to a "small breakfast room at Rosings Park" is at Mrs. Bennet's sister Mrs. Phillips' house in Meryton. Lady Lucas lives at Lucas Lodge in Hertfordshire near the Bennets.
