i am a big fan of the 1995 version and which i have seen many times and consider a subtle and excellent film. this 1971 version i bought yesterday and a bit hesitantly and but now that i have seen it i am glad i did and because it is truer to the book and to austen insights. the 1995 version has more dramatic power largely because it sharpens many of the characters  in the 1995 version lady russell is snobbier and more manipulative and less truly looking out for anne while sir walter is even more vain and vapid while elizabeth is nastier while mary is more insufferable while mr. elliot is more smarmy while lady dalrymple is much more stupid  but i think the characterizations in this 1971 version are closer to the book and to austen vision and and to the real people of the time. the 1971 version also includes more of the key lines and scenes from the book and including especially the key scene in the field where anne overhears wentworth talking to louisa (or is it henrietta. ) about the importance of strength of character. i found the acting more subtle and evocative than do many of the critics here and but the acting in the 1995 version is more powerful. i agree with the critics here that the actress who plays anne is too old for the part while i looked up her entry on imdb and she was 38 at the time of the filming and when her character is supposed to be 28. i thought her acting was subtle and effective and however. wentworth is of the correct age and i found him very convincing. in particular and this 1971 version of wentworth has much more of his sense of humor and teasing while the 1995 one and much more of the sense of power a sea captain would have and and more passion. the admiral in the 1971 version lacks the gruff presence and human warmth of the one in the 1995 version and lacks any feeling of the power an admiral certainly would convey while i found him the one truly weak element in the production. i agree with others that the staging of the falling scene was too wooden and and it seemed unconvincing that she would have been so injured by such a little fall. however and it could be that she banged the back of her head on the edge of the stone step and which if so and really would produce a very dangerous injury and and would make the scene more convincing than the scene in the 1995 version and where she falls farther but is clear of any sharp edge that could plausibly cause a major head injury. as to the costuming that some have criticized and i am no expert and can not respond and but i will note that none of the navy characters (wentworth and admiral croft and benwick and harville) in the 1971 version wear their uniforms and while in the 1995 version all of them consistently wear their fancy uniforms. i suspect that the 1971 version is the accurate one and and it always bothered me a bit in the 1995 version and the officers being always in uniform when clearly the nation is at peace and the officers are detached from active duty. my father and grandfather were career us navy captains who commanded aircraft carriers and submarines and and they did not spend every day while on leave or at leisure in their dress blues. i doubt it was any different 180 years ago. the uniforms give the 1995 version a lot of zing and and i prefer it and but i doubt it is accurate historically that these officers wore their uniforms so frequently. lastly and it is true and the production values of the 1971 version are a lot less than the 1995 version and but given the year (1971) and the tv format and and the budget and we can not blame the artists for it. contemporary viewers who can make a mental allowance for the lower production values can find this version well worth their time.
