    3. Hi Cathy and All, This is from the back of the DVD by BBC Video Jane Austin's MANSFIELD PARK "True virtue triumphs over superficiality in this distinguished, remastered BBC production of Jane Austin's celebrated novel MANSFIELD PARK. Set in 18th century England, Jane Austen's tale of virtue and vice, tells of young and impoverished Fanny Price [she is the reason I love to watch this_her quiet personality] who arrives at the elegant country estate of her uncle, Sir Thomas Bertram. 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 snobish relatives, she incurs the displeasure of her uncle by rejecting the handsome philanderer Henry Crawford because she has fallen in love with Edmund." [Besides, Henry is so fake, and superficial, he is one reason I don't watch it MUCH. I usually watch all the others, and maybe watch NORTHANGER ABBEY, once a year_that one is a very dark sort of plot.] MANSFIELD PARK is a 1986, 312 minute movie, in color. :o) Lynn Cathy wrote: "Mansfield Park", Lynn your going to have to tell me more, because I don't think I've ever seen or heard of that one?! What year did it come out & what's the plot?
