The third time is finally the charm for this definitive screen adaptation of Jane Austen's 1813 classic, with Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy and Jennifer Ehle as Elizabeth Bennet. Coproduced with the BBC, this A&E version originally aired in 1995 and was previously released on DVD in 2001 and 2006. The more recent "special edition" appreciably upped the overall picture quality but attenuated the color scheme that contributed to the six-part miniseries winning an Emmy Award for best costume design. Shot in Super-16(mm), which was typical of British TV productions of its era, P&P still looks pretty lush in this restored edition. Among the several worthy second-disc featurettes is a revealing demonstration of the digital restoration process. Libraries owning either earlier release should weed their collections and offer this timeless classic in a condition that shows its many virtues to best advantage for a new generation of viewers and for those who might like getting reacquainted with an old favorite.-Jeff T.
