By far the best version of the most romantic novel ever written.
Sperior to the 2005 version with Keira Knightley & Matthew Macfadyen
Superior to the Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle version (1995)
Superior to the compact MGM adaptation starring Laurence Olivier and Greer Garson (1940)
[While something like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016) shouldn't even be mentioned here...]
