It is, in its own way, a lot of fun.<br /><br />I am interested in eternaleve's comment about <i>GWTW</i> because so much of this movie reminded me of that one. Of course it did. The former had just come out and was huge. I'm sure there was an element of trying to ride the coattails.<br /><br />All that aside, I enjoyed this version. But, you're right, sunbunny. You do need to go into it with an open mind!<br /><br />Great review, as always!ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-47371654554917032762013-05-09T15:22:06.345-04:002013-05-09T15:22:06.345-04:00Aha!

But the only thing I remembered from it was a) in black and white, and b) Lady Catherine's interference which was really to help her nephew! I remember that was quite a shocker to me! :pCrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-71995501875025995962013-05-01T11:30:05.548-04:002013-05-01T11:30:05.548-04:00Aww, thanks a.m.!

Firth will always be my favorite Darcy, but I don't have as many references as you. That's quite the impressive compliment!<br /><br />Thanks for this review, sunbunny. I will probably never see this version (I'm not a fan of classic movies) but it's fun to take a look at it through your eyes.a.m.noreply@blogger.com
