Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve when she falls in love with the charming but unsuitable John Willoughby, ignoring her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behavior leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Elinor, sensitive to social convention, struggles to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Will the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love?

Austen done well
Another enjoyable iteration of a beloved Austen novel. The insights into production, choice of actors and script creation in the Interview featurette added greatly to my appreciation of this "edtion" of Sense and sensibility.
