Movie Reviews: ***Mansfield Park (2007)

Mansfield Park is the Billie Piper version which I got from Netflix mail.  I liked Billie Piper in Doctor Who and she is very good in this as well.  The story as told in this PBC WGBH Boston version loses some of the periphery stuff, and is much more directly a love story between Fannie and Edmond.  I missed the story line of the pictures of the slaves, and how this had effected the oldest son.  But it really did keep the movie focused on the main characters.

  1. Wendy Wallis Sorry I can't agree this is the worst version of MP. This Fanny acts like a hoyden, where the real Fanny Price in the book was meek, and shy.
