...I think if people want to do campy sex fantasies, they should write their own movies and leave Miss Austen's name out of it.

of Maggie Wadey's screenplay you have there. But I must respectfully disagree, in the sense that I find it to be a very moderate 20th century evolution of what Austen herself was saying. BTW, the only other adaptation by Wadey that I've seen is Adam Bede, which followed the book closely and was well-reviewed.
