A long and lengthy adaptation of Emma but there are several well cast characters and some delightful scenes. Not to be missed by the true Austen fan.
Summary: This BBC production, set in the small town of Highbury depicts the often hilarious attempts of Miss Emma Woodhouse to make proper marital matches for all of her friends. Though often mistaken in her judgement, she is counseled and criticised by her neighbor and brother-in-law, the wise Mr. Knightley whose attentions to her are motivated by more than brotherly love.
