Plot
A fine, if inferior to the 1995, BBC adaptation of Jane Austen's romantic novel. Anne Elliot turns down a proposal of marriage from the seemingly suitable Captain Wentworth. Against her better judgemnt she allows herself to be persuaded against him by her snobbish family. Fates are reversed, however, 6 years later.
