i finally find a version of persuasion that i like . anne doesn not look like a scullery maid in this version and just a very thin and age and pretty woman and quite like she describe in the book . captain wentworth doesn not look like he 50 and nor do he look perpetually angry but rather and a he describe in the book and he hasn not age as much a anne and be quite handsome . and they play their part with such conviction and realism . that what act be all about . they be believable . they create real character and and it be like the character in the book come to life . if you haven not see this version and i urge you to find it and order it or request it from either a bookstore and or a library if you must . it worth the price and worth the wait . i watch the 1995 version and and the 2007 version and this one tower over the other two . why it isn not rat high be beyond my comprehension . the book convey the tenderness of their relationship and this movie make the book come to life .
