Reviews
I had watched this version of this Jane Austen novel many years ago, and the part that came back to me most clearly was Angela Pleasence’s take on Fanny’s Aunt Bertrand. She plays the role very meekly and soft-spoken. I assume it is how the book portrays her, but it has been even longer since I read the book. It makes it hard to hear her lines at times. I like this mini-series, but not as much…
