I managed to get a copy of the MP video from the library. As far as I know there is only the one adaptation, filmed in the early or mid 1980s.

Has anyone else seen it?

I think the casting of Fanny is just right. She reminds me quite a bit of Amanda Root as Anne Elliot. One thing I really like about the video is that while reading I sometimes tend to forget that Fanny is there, but here we see her looking and listening and taking everything in.

I can't stand the way Lady Bertram is done in this video! She is supposed to be indolent, not a total airhead!

Is Sir Thomas played by the same actor who was Mr. Woodhouse in Emma3?

Also, I recognize the actor who plays Tom Bertram, but I can't think from where. It might have been some Danielle Steele mini series or something. Anyone know?
