I received this DVD as a gift & loved it. The characters were an absolute delight to watch. I enjoyed reading the book too but when words can come off a page & be seen on screen like this adaptation is, it's simply: any viewers delight!

This is any Jane Austen viewers delight, to watch an adaptation that is perfect. Anne's character connects to the audience in a profound way, especially the scenes when she is writing her letters - the monologue and eye contact with the camera - is as though she was explaining her story to you personally. That made this even more wonderful to watch. The costumes and scenery were in keeping with the times and the script was edited as best for viewing. I would have loved to enjoy more of this adaptation but I know that all good things must come to an end.

This particular adaption of Mansfield Park did nothing for me. I'm not sure if it was the lead acotrs or what? But at times this appeared to be acting at its worst (if there is such a thing). There was nothing gripping about this piece. I expected to be drawn in but I suppose my hopes were too high. I usually remember any Jane Austen's television adaptations unfotunately not this one - it just left a bad taste in my mouth and left me wondering - what was that about?
