Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Entry When Lizzie and Charlotte Lucas return home from their visit to Rosings Park, they are riding in a public stagecoach. But in both the text (Ch. 37-38) and the movie dialogue, they travel post, which is a completely different thing. A post-chaise, even if hired, is private; on the stage coach (which is not a chaise), the young ladies must share the interior of the coach with strangers. This was not done by ladies of their class except in extraordinary circumstances, none of which are mentioned in the text or the movie dialogue. [It might not be much of a treat, but it's still a free ride to London.]

Entry When Lizzy returns home (after Lydia has gone missing) and greets Jane, notice Jane's left sleeve as she and Lizzy talk: it is ripped and part of the piping is hanging off. Moments later, upstairs in Mrs. Bennet's room, Jane's sleeve is no longer ripped. [The piping in question is part of the jacket type thing Jane is wearing over her dress. It is not supposed to be attached and simply changes positions between shots, not surprising since she has been moving her arms.]
Entry In the very last shot, when Elizabeth and Mr Darcy finally kiss each other, look at the neck of Colin Firth. There is a very visible line between skin with and without make up. [It is not make up and lack thereof, it is the shadow from his collar. You can see the shadow move as Darcy moves his head.]
Entry When Lizzie is singing and playing for Mr. Darcy, Mr Bingley, and the sisters at Pemberley the music sounds like a harpsichord. After Lizzie has finished she persuades Georgiana to play for everyone. Georgiana sits at the same instrument as Lizzie and starts playing, only this time the music is a piano, not harpsichord. [Instruments such as this often have a pedal that can be pushed to make it sound like a different instrument. I own an old piano that can sound like harpsichord just like in the film.]
Entry In the final scene, when they're all married and happy and ride off in the coaches, Lizzie and Darcy get in, and the coach starts to move. The camera then switches to Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, who say something like:" God has been very good to us." "Yes, so it will seem." You can see the carriage riding off, but when the camera moves to close up for the kiss, you can still see in the background the walls of Longbourn, though they've already passed the house. [The carriage actually starts from the side of the house and the view we are looking at at the end is of the front of the house.]
Entry In the scene where Mary Bennet tries to show off and is followed by Caroline Bingley, Caroline plays a piece by Mendelssohn, who was born in 1807. However, Pride and Prejudice was published in 1813, and set at about that time. Mendelssohn would have had to have written that piece (can't recall the name) at age 6. [It is not Caroline who plays but her sister Mrs Hurst, and the piece she plays is "Rondo alla turca" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791).]
Entry When Darcy enters into the room to make his first offer of marriage to Lizzie, he walks in with a hat and a stick. When he leaves again, he only takes his hat with him. [If you look closely, Darcy doesn't actually carry a stick in with him when he comes to ask Lizzie to marry him. You only see his hands for a moment but he's definitely only carrying his hat. He does, however, carry one on the visit before this (when he asks Lizzie about how far away from her family she'd prefer to be when she marries) but he takes it away with him. He's holding it in the same hand as his hat, so it can be easy to miss.]
