Mansfield Park BBC 1986

Mansfield Park (Jane Austen) (DVD)

Jane Austen's story of virtue and vice tells of young and impoverished Fanny Price who arrives at the elegant country estate of her uncle, Sir Thomas Bertram. True virtue triumphs over superficiality in this distinguished BBC production of Jane Austen's celebrated novel. Snubbed by everyone except her cousin, Edmund, Fanny begins her long struggle for acceptance by her shallow relatives who believe wealth automatically means quality. When Fanny finally wins the respect of her snobbish relatives, she incurs the displeasure of her uncle by rejecting the handsome philanderer Henry Crawford because she has fallen in love with Edmund.
