Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: Lush, dramatic, and beautifully acted, the BBC's three-part miniseries, Sense & Sensibility captures the languid urgency that resonates throughout the Jane Austen novel on which it is based. Miss Austen Regrets is a perfect companion to the miniseries, starring Olivia Williams as the author, and Greta Scacchi as Austen's sister Cassandra. The film takes a bitterswet look at Austen's life and hints at what could have been if she had married one of her suitors. Smart and headstrong, Austen refuses to cave into society's notions of what a proper woman would do. From acclaimed writer Andrew Davies (BBC's Pride and Prejudice starring Colin Firth) comes this 2-Disc enchanting adaption of Jane Austen's timeless novel about love and marriage. Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve when she falls in love with the charming but unsuitable John Willoughby, ignoring her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behavior leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Elinor, sensitive to social convention, struggles to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Will the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love? Format: closed-captioned
