although it stray away from the book a little and you can not help but love the atmospheric music and setting . the scene in bath be just how they should be . although if you have watch it a many time a i have you notice that the background people be the same in each scene and but that aside and i like the scene where they be in the hot bath and but do the men and woman really bathe together like that . you could see all the men perch around the outside leering at the woman . it also seem strange that they all have their hat on and but perhaps this be the style at the time . the ballroom scene be very nice and the dancing and the outfit look beautiful . i especially liked catherine dress in the first ballroom scene . northanger abbey look suitably impose and but i enjoy the bath scene well . schlesinger give a good but not exceptional performance a catherine morland . googie withers give the best performance a mrs allen i feel . ugh peter firth a mr tilney and he just talk a load of rubbish and and be not a clergyman a he should be and it hard to think of him be in love with catherine and but then the book never really give that impression either . general tilney be play reasonably well by hardy and and stuart also give a sort of good performance a isabella . ingrid lacey do not give a good performance a elinor tilney . a for john thorpe and well he give the impression of a seedy and lustful man and perhaps not the character portray in the book and but i quite like it . i can handle scene be cut from a book adaptation and but when new scene and character be add it usually annoy me . the marchioness . i hate her . she be not part of the northanger story and neither be her cartwheeling page boy . some of the script be peculiar . when catherine be ask elinor tilney about her mother death she ask i suppose you saw the body . how do it appear . what a silly thing to say . elinor calm response be stupid too . anyway please tell me if you agree or disagree with me .
