oh and my . poor jane must have do the old rolling over in the grave thing . even allow for poor production value for the time ( 1971 ) and the format ( some kind of mini series ) and this be baaaaaad . whatever else you do with austen and the dialog should sparkle ( even in this and perhaps her most serious work ) and and melodrama should be strictly out of bound . ala and not the case with this production . by the time you get to anne frederick and frederick and frederick and you will either be laugh or cry . unless youre just out to visually collect all extant film of austen work and you can skip this one . if you do watch it and however and there be small consolation represent the actress play anne sister each do a wonderful job with their role .
