Persuasion (1995) - PART 1


Jacks and I enjoyed watching this film adaptation of Jane Austen's "Persuasion". In my opinion, this version is far superior to other productions. Made for British television and originally screened by the BBC in April 1995. The script and the acting are brilliant, and as a film its quality is very good. The main actors may look a little bit "old" at first glance, but they quickly grow on you. I love Ciarán Hinds.

Starring Amanda Root as Anne Elliot, Ciarán Hinds as Captain Wentworth, Sophie Thompson as Mary Musgrove, Corin Redgrave as Sir Walter Elliot, Victoria Hamilton as Henrietta Musgrove, Fiona Shaw as Mrs. Croft, and Susan Fleetwood as Lady Russell.

Although the 2007 was good, I enjoyed this version the most. Amanda Root and Cairan Hinds were brilliant.

i feel i should reiterate and say they were not described by Austen as physically attractive, obviously as characters they were lovely. :)

i think the reason for this is because in the book, neither character is attractive. the heroine is described as being somewhat plain.
