Title: I can't believe BBC was a part of this version!
Product review: The fact that the cast is better looking in this '08 version cannot make up for the complete meltdown of the story in the second half of this version. The first half of the movie is true to the book. Once Anne arrives in Bath, the story strays away from Jane Austen's novel. Anne's friend Mrs. Smith and her vital role is completely diminished and you barely even realize who she is, since she isn't an invalid in this movie either. Also one of my favorite parts of this whole story is skipped, Wentworth doesn't ever write Anne a hurried letter containing his true feelings. I don't understand why they couldn't have tacked on 20 more minutes and made this version live up to Austen's novel. Very poor adaptation!
