A Wonderful Adaptation
This version of Sense and Sensibility might not be in everybody’s taste because it has the lower production standards common in the BBC’s production of the time period. However, the script does justice to Jane Austen’s work and the acting is generally very good, the stand out being Joanna Davis as Eleanor.

Sense and Sensibility DVD - from 1971 British TV miniseries
This is an excellent story by Jane Austen... having watched the movie version I was hesitant to get this DVD, but I'm VERY glad I got it.. I Love Patricia Routledge in everything I've seen her in, and she definitely doesn't disappoint in this TV version.. All of the characters are very well acted by the stars. I recommend this DVD to anyone who loves adaptations of Jane Austen;s writings...

I love this version
This really is a neat version of the story. Yes, it moves through the story a little fast, and the costumes have a decidedly 60s feel, I still think it is great. It is a more lighthearted version, which I loved, and I thought it was quite funny. Elinor and Mrs. Jennings were the best I have seen. And I love how slow and relaxing these older shows were.
