I love this guy too! I watched some weird British car show just because he was on it. I have a hard time taking his name seriously though, Rupert. Just makes me giggle for some reason.
I got this movie for Christmas a couple years ago and love watching it. After I read "Persuasion" I also read a book that was supposed to be from Captain Wentworth's point of view, and I really liked it. I don't generally like all the "modern" takes on Jane Austen books but this one was good.
I found a complete collection of Jane Austen in my house when I was a teenager. I started reading and stopped just to eat and sleep. My best summer ever!
You're funny. I actually much prefer the 1995 version with Ciaran Hinds and Amanda Root.
I will admit, however, that in this version I think that Rupert whatshisname did a good job as Captain Wentworth here and he is quite the handsome gentleman. I also think that Anthony Stewart Head was dead on in his characterization of Sir Walter.
Anne Elliot is my favorite Austen heroine and Sally Hawkins' Anne was just horrible. She ruined this film for me, much like Keira Knightley ruined the 2005 Pride and Prejudice, which had a lot of potential if she wasn't in it.
Sorry for the ranting digression. I'll stop now... :)
THis movie looks so perfect! Can I get it from Netflix? I have a whole week alone next week, so I need some good movies to watch after I put the kids to bed!
That question will be lingering in my mind all day!
Can I catch it on Netflix instant viewing...da ya know that?
I should add that I've had a movie from netflix for 8 months that I lost the cover to and haven't returned because I'm too lazy to put it in an envelope and write the address on it. How pathetic is that? So right now instant viewing is all I get;)

It's a 2007 BBC version of Persuasion. Sorry to leave you hanging.

Just watched Mansfield Park last night! Ha! we can dream right?!
Oh, I am with Holly on this one. The actress that played Anne made me want to PUNCH her.
The 1995 version is one of my favorite movies of all time.
I'm swooning right now... :)
I love Jane Austen even more than chocolate...
Oh, yes, he is a HOTTIE!!!

I am swooning....waiting...That Jane Austen really could write!
Did you buy it or rent it?
I got it from Netflix.
Love me that Rupert Penry-Jones. I liked that version of "Persuasion" so much-just wish it had been longer, like a miniseries. :) Excellent taste!
How...and I repeat HOW did I miss this version???
That question will be lingering in my mind all day!
