Title: Must Suspend Belief Here Because Of Character Casting!
Product review: So far this is the only version of Persuasion that I have seen so far,and I thought it was ok,despite the fact that I usually avoid films and books that are full of 'angst' as almost this entire film is.I haven't yet read any of the novels by Jane Austen,so I cannot judge how true to the book it is.My real problem was that I didn't much care for the character of Anne Elliot(Sally Hawkins),I thought she was incredibly dull,and it was totally unbelievable that the 'Drop Dead GORGEOUS'(but his acting here doesn't thrill either)Frederick Wentworth(Rupert Perry-Jones) would have fallen for such a plain Jane,and pined for years for her!Now I want to see the 1995 version with Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds.So I can't really recommend this version.
