Title: A terrible shame. Don't waste your time.
Product review: As a long time Jane Austen fan, I bought this thinking it couldn't be as bad as some of the reviews suggest. Boy, was I wrong.I don't know what the producers could have been thinking. They turned Anne into a weepy dishrag! And their Captain Wentworth may look nice but he doesn't look like a sailor. He looks more like a rich landowner's son who never had to do a day's hard labor in his life. He would have made a good Mr. Elliot actually. The rest of the character's in the story have been similarly skewed. And I was horrified by the changes that were made to the plot. They actually took out the most romantic scene in the whole story!If you want to see the real story ofPersuasion, please get the 1995 version starring Amanda Root. It is a far superior adaptation in every way. Don't bother with this travesty.
