Title: S&S Fan, but Not This One
Product review: Just to give you an idea of where I'm coming from, the Emma Thompson version of "SENSE & SENSIBILITY" is one of my Top 10 favorite movies of all time. I've read the book twice. And so I was curious to see how an early BBC production of the story played. In a word, "Disappointingly". The key word is really "early", as in, "this is an early Masterpiece Theater type production that looks very much like a filmed stage play". In other words, the production values are weak. More importantly, passion is also lacking - both that provided by the actors (who seem stiff and plain) and that experienced by the audience. The movie version proved that S&S can have both scope AND passion. This mini-series did not.
