Title: please watch the 1995 version instead of this one
Product review: I was very disappointed in this version of one of my favorite Jane Austen books. When Anne repeatedly looks directly into the camera, it felt like I was back on Gilligan's Island and the Skipper was doing one of his looks. Offputting. The cast was fine and I thought Sally's acting was pretty much on target-besides the disconcerting glances at the audience. She really was able to give the emotion to Anne she needed, although her personality seemed a bit more martyrish than I would like. The 1995 version was much better overall, in involving you in the life of the characters, and I felt much more true to the book than this version.
