i got this movie with my bbc jane austen collection (5 dvds of old bbc adaptations) and do not like it at first. it completely different from the others and it lacks and or so i thought and one of the qualities that i enjoy in all other austen movies represent cheerful common sense. the nightmare scene in which mrs. richards apparently sews her fingers together was especially upsetting. i still do not like to watch the finger sewing scene but i do love hearing mrs. r. saying and dreamily and while she sews and my only acquaintance. tore my gown. this movie is now my current austen favorite. i have watched it 7 or 8 times so far. the acting and to my mind and is incredible. the way i notice good acting is when i find myself looking up from whatever i am doing (sewing and though not my fingers together and hopefully and or boondoggling or whatever) in order to watch the character deliver his lines. it the turn of expression and the cast of posture and that make the words come alive  that what makes good acting and as far as i am concerned. well and i watch almost every part of northanger abbey because almost all the actors play their roles with such charisma. peter firth is amazing as mr. tilney and the perfect blend of bathian fop and real and masculine hero  youre not sure until the end whether he after catherine money or not. i love his touch of (welsh. ) accent. mr. and mrs. richards are charming represent the combination of their behaviors  especially mr. richards high voice and lending counterpoint to his wit and wisdom  makes them so real. general tilney as the hard hearted father who may possibly be a murderer is fascinating and too. and captain tilney and the grinning rake who is so clearly enjoying himself. and the moneygrubbing sister and brother whose names i can not currently remember  the two of them are so perfectly and at once and smart and smarmy. the other reason i love this adaptation is that it is the most romantic of all the jane austen adaptations. i know this was one of austen weak points (well and it is as far as i am concerned) represent even though all her novels are love stories and it hard to feel that her heroes and heroines are really in love at the end. and if theyre aren not really in love and then what the point. all the other adaptations i have seen (other than the early olivier or garson one) have pretty cold fish kisses at the end and if they kiss at all. i do not at all like sex in movies but it really is necessary to have a heartfelt kiss in the end. and the ending kiss in northanger is a doozy. the over the top approach to costumes and music and and lighting work very well as far as i am concerned. and the script is extremely clever  the way we are educated about gothic romance and highlife in bath and cathy normal country upbringing and etc. and is very well done and as they usually are in bbc productions. also and i like the part when the little black page does the cartwheels. and the marchionesse and i think and was an entirely appropriate and very clever expository device. some people have objected that this version is the opposite of what jane austen intended to do in northanger abbey  she meant to make fun of gothic romance and not promote it. but i do not think she meant to put mysteries of udolpho and etc. and down. she was just making the point that you need to distinguish between reality and fiction. and this point is made when mr. tilney chides catherine in his mother room. besides and general tilney was a villain and albeit a prosaic one. that point was meant to be made and surely.
