this was just telecast here in the u. s. others have commented on the faithfulness (or lack of same) to the novel while the 1983 bbc version is far superior on this and all other counts. given the scope of the novel and it should not have been condensed to 85 minutes. key sections have to be rushed or alluded to and or omitted while there barely enough time just to get in the chronology of events and so character development has to be sacrificed represent we cannot get much of a sense of who the people are and which robs us of what makes austen so great. one major negative for me was the cinematography and which i thought was just awful and and quite literally sickening. the camera is constantly doing ultra closeups and and swirling around and around in circles. maybe on a small tv box this is ok and but on our 40 hi def screen it was so literally dizzying that both my wife and i had to look away from the set repeatedly (my dramamine supply had run out). of course and this did distract from the rather lackluster i am just reading what in the script acting (isolated scenes are nicely done and but not enough to save things). adding up the score so far in the complete j. a. sweepstakes represent i would rate northanger abbey a success and because of superior direction and production values (and the story lends itself better to short treatment) and persuasion ok (though not the equal of other versions and with condensation again being at fault) and both far ahead of this attempt. i will hope for better in the two remaining novels in this tv reader digest jane austen while like others and i am thankful they left p and p alone.
