- Dissatisfaction
I absolutely LOVE this production of "Northanger Abbey," but I am very upset with the DVD itself. The reasons? 1) This version is the cut version; if you want to see the un-cut version, look for it online. 2) It SAYS there are subtitles available on the DVD, but there aren't. Maybe they're accessible from a computer, but not from a regular DVD player. Those two things are really what take away from my overall satisfaction with the DVD.

- Catherine's imaginings because of her love of Gothic novels was so amusing!
This was such fun to watch. I really enjoyed how Catherine visualized herself in the Gothic scenes she imagined because she loved to read Gothic novels.Good humor,drama and beautiful scenery.
I really liked all the characters,except did not care for the unattractive and unappealing John Thorpe,nor his frequent use of the word d**n,and it was totally unbelievable and ridiculous to have Henry's character think that John Thorpe was better looking than himself,UGH!
Great points ... Read More

This movie captures all the fun of Jane Austen's well-mannered parody of the gothic novel.

The characters are cleverly drawn, the plot is engaging, and Catherine's social predicaments are both delightfully amusing and strikingly familiar. You certainly don't have to be a devotee of Miss Austen to enjoy Northanger Abbey, but if you are, you will not be disappointed by this faithful and lively ... Read More
