hmm well perhaps she married for money aye`?? I think that Miss Austen gave louisa that husband to ridicule the way to marry then, marring for money = ridicules husband! actually, i think she married him for his being fashionable!

Oh, dear! I could not stop laughing at your comments! Okay, so I have finally finished the 1995 version of P&P. I must say, it is truer to the actual novel than the 2005 version. I like it when movies are true to the books they are based on. Although, I have not yet decided which actors and actresses I like better. I have had to stop the movie (1995 version) several times, though, because I was hard-pressed to put up with Mrs. Bennet, Miss Bingley, and Mr. Collins in such quick succession, let alone all at once. Perhaps I should have watched this version first; it may have been easier for me to deal with them at that point, as I watched the 2005 version before reading the book.
I was very delighted by it (the 1995 version) overall, even though it was not exactly as Jane Austen envisioned it. I was especially delighted that the double wedding was in this one, as well. The 2005 version was never quite able to touch me the way this one did. I was especially touched during the scenes that showed Darcy on the streets of London, looking for Lydia and Wickham, as I knew it was all for Lizzy. Yes, I must say, it appealed to my romantic sensibilities very well. Overall, a superb version of a delightful story!
