for a teenager who have never read austen and this adaptation might be fine . but only for them . this be a disjointed cliff note version of mansfield park and and if you have not see another version or read the book part of it would be head scratch . why have it be so hard to do a good adaptation of this book . the one in the 1990s take such liberty that it barely seem to be the same book the mindset be completely modern and prurient . here we have billie piper who look like a pretty country wench . she have a charming personality that develop nicely but she have flagrantly die blonde hair and with black eyebrow and through much of the pic dark brown root . so much for unspoiled cousin . it be incredibly distract and and the rest of the cast be in the greasy hair and rumple clothing genre that show a real disrespect for period accuracy . one thing be good here haley atwell be the best mary crawford of all the version . she be note perfect and flirtatious without be at all modern or suggestive and flippant and completely without any moral or ethical compass . henry here be actually good look enough to be a slight temptation for our heroine . jemma redgrave take one of the most interesting role in the story and manage to make her actually boring until her last scene much too sensible . this be just a production that really miss the mark and a real low for austen fan . the only serviceable version be the one with odd duck ( perfect for the role ) sylvestra la touzel ( despite the very very gay henry crawford he just laughable ) .
