Additional InformationDirector James Ivory brings the intrigue and guile of rival theatre companies to life in JANE AUSTEN IN MANHATTAN. At SothebyÆs auction house in New York, a theatre producer and an ambitious off-Broadway director buy an obscure childhood play written by Jane Austen. Robert Powell stars as Pierre, an avant-garde director who becomes engaged in a heated rivalry with his former mentor and lover, traditionalist director Lilianna Zorska (Anne Baxter).

Merchant Ivory Productions, which had produced a film for LWTÆs THE SOUTH BANK SHOW two years earlier (HULLABALOO OVER GEORGIE AND BONNIEÆS PICTURES), also became interested in filming the sight-unseen manuscript. However, after reading the work, screenwriter Ruth Prawer Jhabvala realized that the Austen play was not developed enough to be a film and instead used the acquisition of the text as the seed of an idea that ultimately became JANE AUSTEN IN MANHATTAN.
