I think allowances should be made for the fact that this version is almost 50 years old so resources, financing and production values would have been very different, even for a BBC production. To judge it by today's standards is a little harsh. There was often in the 1970s more emphasis on being as faithful to the book as possible and this would certainly have affected things like screenplay, direction and interpretation of character. I love the theatricality of these productions. Of course, they are very far from the slick versions of later years but they are also less overtly emotional which fits in more with the reserve and social etiquette of the period - swings and roundabouts. Doubtless film students of the future who wish to study the development of costume drama have a wealth of material in Jane Austen dramas to compare and contrast. Imho I do think they all have something of merit to offer. I have to say I don't miss the incidental music that occurs so frequently in later productions and which is used as a means of 'guiding' our reactions to particular scenes.
SENSE & SENSIBILITY (1971) BBC television adaptation of Jane Austen's novel. Elinor Dashwood - Joanna David is none other Aunt Gardiner older age, TV Mini-Series, 1995th.
I have this series on DVD. I have every version I can find of Jane Austen movies, and I enjoy them so much. But, this is the worst acting, I believe, in any of them. Elinor is not too bad, but Marianne and her mother are just about the worst actresses ever, lol. Thank you for uploading! The worst of Jane Austen movies is better than anything the movie industry tries to pass off as movies today, and that's for sure!
The 1970's was a time of interesting costumes and we, as a culture, were only beginning to understand HISTORIC in a scientific way... Think My Fair Lady, the movie, the clothes were wonderful, but not correct, the make-up was horrid, and the hair 60's. We have come a long way!
And i think they should do a new version of this movie. i know there were a miniseries of it in 2008, but a movie itself would be much better. And i just love the story of "Sense and Sensibility."
Manvi NK Emma Thomson did the script for the movie in the 90s , Kate Winslet played Marianne and Thomson played Elinor . No need to do any more movies as this one is perfect . I wouldn't mind a BBC mini series with Andrew Davus. Though.
@@sugarpop7377 Andrew davies DID do the sense and sensibility 2008 miniseries. So that has been done. Don't bother with it, it is terrible. The 1995 movie with Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, Hugh Grant and Alan Rickman is the best, no other can top it
Their acting is cheesy and quite funny actually, I enjoy just to hear them act with so much strength in there voices but then again it reminds me that it's just a movie and their acting is bad but also hilarious, this isn't a hate comment, just structural criticism, lol. ;)
Very teatrical which makes sense in the 70's TV, all actors were stage actors and that reflects here, but it is so charming and a good way to see how much things changed.
He also played Ross Poldark in the 1970s version of "Poldark". He was even in a televised version of the musical "She Loves Me" from the late 1970s or early 1980s. Then he was in the movie "The Europeans" based on Henry James' novel. I love the Robin Ellis - so talented! And my best friend in high school had a mad crush on him! ~Anastacia in Cleveland
They perform in a theatrical way, probably that was their intention and the director's will, that's why it seems weird to you. The acting for movies has different rules..
Ooohh, my goodness, typical baaad 1970s BBC, all echoey sound stage and as though they're on stage in a huge theater. To those of us of a certain age, kind of nostalgic. And look at those early 70s wigs, gah!
The actress playing marianne is aunt gardener in the 1995 pride and prejudice I think and marianne is michelle dotrice who was frank spencer's wife in Some Mother's Do Ave Em !!
The costumes give me the creeps . Nowadays the accuracy in way they dressed back in those times according to status is very important. Back then the fashion of those decades influenced greatly in how the actors dressed.
Really bad bit of directing, given that the scene appears to be in a heritage property, rather than a house: Mother walks in, takes of her cloak and dumps it over the 17th century porcelain bowl which is sitting on the little round table. Marion then puts her hat on top of it. So I wonder if the person who picked the costumes up when that scene was shot succeeded in smashing the bowl.
I hate Fanny in every version of this book. Though I do love the original book and the movie version with... oh gosh I don’t know any of the actors and actresses names... lol. I believe it’s the 1981 version.
A few years ago, when I hadn't read the book, I came across this. And I couldn't stand the cringe. I was astounded that this wasn't supposed to be a comedy. But having read the book, and watched the 1995 movie, this version seems the closest to the book. Not in the script, even though it is, but in the way of acting and expressing. That's how it's always shown in the book, she cried this, she cried that. They expressed that way in that age, most probably. By almost shouting. And this thing lacked in the movie. Movie Marianne wasn't a bit like the book version. She wasn't lively or energetic. She didn't express emotions fully/dramatically, which the character was supposed to.
Ah Edward....the poor actor always is playing the nice handsome man’s role, who happens to be too nice to 2 women.Or are these normal roles that men play?
For the very time i'm watching a Hollywood movie of the 1970's. It seems weird. Their performances are great, but i get bored. And the actors are not really beautiful or handsome. Marianne looks older than Elinor.
Why do they constantly shout? They are in a movie, not on a theatre stage (even there it would be too much). Marianne supposed to be the sensitive one, but she sounds like a hysterical brat. Can't watch it.
Perhaps they were not used to the intimacy of tv, which was still new (comparatively). The camera picks up the slightest gesture or tone of voice, they were clearly unaware that they needed to tone down their acting skills in order to suit this new medium.
Just awful acting...why are they all screeching and yelling???? They are also so stiff...is this what is called "method acting"? Marlon Brando acted like this, too.

Elinor is played by actress Joana David, who also played Mrs Gardiner, Elizabeth Bennet's Aunt, in Pride and Prejudice in 1995.
Yes, she did. Played Rebecca algo.
о. спасибо за информацию.
(1971) This is the best movie adaption of this beloved classic!!!!!!!
, in my opinion 🙂
What, considering the Ang Lee version!?
@@archiewoosung5062 dire,
It's a wonderful cast, Joanna David as Elinor, Robin Ellis as Edward. We shall see what becomes of it.

I can't resist it, it's the only Sense&Sensibility that i haven't seen.
The actor that play's John is very familiar.
Austin, nailed this story
love those lillipads in the titles!

And Eleanor too not Elinor no such name in S.S British way of spelling Eleanor
@@lindajones7219 dont be silly it is spelled Elinor in hte book.

Joanna David is perfect
I think they need to spend more time on the lilypads

+Lynn C So true!
I believe the actress playing Elinor (Joanna David?) also played the lead in a version of Rebecca.
Yes she did and her daughter, Emilia Fox, played the same role in the 1997 version.
Yes, 1979, with Jeremy Brett
Eleanor no such name as Elinor not in S and S
@@lindajones7219 check the novel--it is spelled Elinor in the book.
😂Anybody else notice that Fanny manipulates/dictates and John has no idea that she is doing it?
hahhahah u r so right. . I am grieved by the performance of the actress.
Thank you so much for posting. I don’t have this version.
I've uploaded the complete series as full episodes in 480p /w optional English subtitles from DVD. There's a playlist on my channel.
And i think they should do a new version of this movie.
i know there were a miniseries of it in 2008, but a movie itself would be much better.
And i just love the story of "Sense and Sensibility."

Hold on, was Elinor in Pride and Prejudice as Aunt Gardner?
+wandering womble Yes, Joanna David.
Yes, isn't she pretty?! That's the great thing about BBC, we see a handful of actors in multiple roles, like old friends.
She was absolutely perfect in Pride!
Si... yes... yep
Thank you was just trying to remember where I had seen her ! Such a beauty at any age 🌹
Elinor is just so reasonable.
Eleanor still
@@lindajones7219 Stop "correcting" people on this, you're wrong.
Marianne looks 36 not 16. But thank you so much for uploading. I've never seen any other version but Emma Thompson's and the 2008 one.
I tend to find actors tend to be old looking in old BBC dramas, no idea why.
Their acting is cheesy and quite funny actually, I enjoy just to hear them act with so much strength in there voices but then again it reminds me that it's just a movie and their acting is bad but also hilarious, this isn't a hate comment, just structural criticism, lol. ;)
+Rachel Murray I totally get what your saying. Somehow you keep watching and you wonder why?!
I agree, it's kind of hokey, but very charming and engaging even when it's strange
I like these kind of shows of the 70's in Britain, there is one about Queen Victoria with kind of the same acting. More like a play than a movie, imo.
Very teatrical which makes sense in the 70's TV, all actors were stage actors and that reflects here, but it is so charming and a good way to see how much things changed.
I quite like the theatrical style of acting
EDWARD IS THE ACTOR THAT PLAYED ROBERT, EARL OF ESSEX IN ELIZABETH R. idk why this is so amazing to me, but it totally is. Lol.
He also played Ross Poldark in the 1970s version of "Poldark". He was even in a televised version of the musical "She Loves Me" from the late 1970s or early 1980s.

Yep, I’ve noticed other programs made in the 70’s are like this. I like it.
Gosh, robin Ellis and Joanna David?
god bless you for uploading all four episodes! i'm in the uk and can't buy this from anywhere. thank you so much!! 🥹💖

vanessa kirkham no, Marianne is NOT Michelle Dotrice. She’s played by Ciaran Madden, an actress who was well known in the 1970s.
Joanna David! Who goes on to be Lizzie Bennett's aunt.
justifiedgold that's right !
As ridiculous as this is, you have to admit, Marianne *is* ridiculous even in the original.
Mrs Gardiner!!!!
Joanna Page is so radiant, even more beautiful than her daughter Emilia Fox in my opinion.
Grainne Mhaol Joanna David.
Yes. I thought she was stunning in Rebecca, with Jeremy Brett.
where is the third daughter? she was in Emma Thompson's movie and 2008 adaptation?
Why are they shouting? One can be emphatic without shrieking. And this is just the first scene.... I think I will give this a miss.
The costumes give me the creeps . Nowadays the accuracy in way they dressed back in those times according to status is very important. Back then the fashion of those decades influenced greatly in how the actors dressed.
Is this a highschool play

Traducido al español, por favor
Are those actress?
Nah. Too screamy. I doubt very much whether Mrs Dashwood could be called a lady. I mean the elder Mrs Dashwod, not John's wife. OK well her too.
Nothing has changed. Greed!!!!!!!😝😝😝😝

Why are all the actors screaming???? Best version is the one with Emma Thompson.
I personally prefer the 2008 version most, but this Elinor is my favourite
@@frostylunetta Eleanor hopefully for the last time
Not impressed at all - terrible acting - it is as if they are reading the script out loud.
Ah Edward....the poor actor always is playing the nice handsome man’s role, who happens to be too nice to 2 women.Or are these normal roles that men play?

Hideous! Decorum was the order of the day and these screeching haridans are laughable. Besides, Emma Thompson owns this story now.
The worst acting ever. Marianne is awful! It's so bad, you can't help but to laugh.
