Miss Austen Regrets, 2008 (Grade B)

PBS - Masterpiece Theater Production based on the life and letters of Jane Austen, tells the story of the novelist's final years, examining why, despite setting the standard for romantic fiction, she died having never married

starring: Olivia Williams;  Greta Scacchi; Imogen Poots;  Phyllida Law; Tom Hiddleston;  Hugh Bonneville;  Adrian Edmondson;  Jack Huston

sez says: this was a  lovely diversion, well acted (esp Williams version of Austen) and nicely produced --costumes etc. were great.    And because much of it is based on  actual letters it provides at least the illusion that you are seeing something of the real life of the author. I enjoyed it. If your taste runs in this direction, you'll probably like it too. But it probably won't win over in converts if this type of drams isn;t your cup of tea to begin with.(Grade B)
