Ah. I hadn't read the book (I'm ashamed to confess) - maybe that's why I liked it. It's actually my favourite of all the Jane Austen adaptations (the movies, at least, not counting the Colin Firth P&P). And yeah, the movie of Miss JB, even though the TV version was actually more faithful to the book, is unforgettable - "assassin!!" as Pamela... whatsername... strides away down the hall, still brings shivers. And that scene when she talks about Dante and Beatrice meeting and looking at one another with "such a longing..." ooh.
