I was struck by the scene where Maria wants to go through the locked gate and sends Mr Rushworth to get the key. Henry Crawford is not played well I feel, the way he speaks seems all wrong and strange, I think they chose the wrong actor there. Mrs Norris is just how I imagined her, and Lady Bertram too. At the start when Fanny is in the carriage with Mrs Norris, when Fanny is introduced to the Bertrams and when Tom, Edmund and Mary Crawford are walking together. Even though Sylvestra may not give a good performance as Fanny Price, I find her much more believable as Fanny than Frances O Connor. For me that is much more important than modern touches that spoiled the movie. I read the book before I had seen either, and this version is so much more true to the book. ![]() Ok so maybe you all disagree, but I prefer this old mini-series to the modern 1999 film. ![]()
