Another one of my all time favorite period films is Sense and Sensibility which stars Kate Winslet, Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, and Hugh Grant. It is another classic adaptation of a Jane Austen novel of the same name about a man who dies, leaving his second wife and three daughters poor by the rules of inheritance. The two older Dashwood sisters {Winslet and Thompson} are total opposites of each other and the story follows their struggles and the romances they have after their father dies. I thought all of the actors did an outstanding job at playing their characters. It's just a really good story filled with a beautiful English setting and wonderful costumes! I always loved the fashion of this time period. Woman back then wore such beautiful and elegant dresses, as well as pretty hats. So without further adieu, here are some photos from the film.
Love it! I think this was the first Jane Austen film I ever saw at the early age of 10. My mom is and has always been a huge Jane Austen fan so ultimately she introduced me. I share her love for period films and history. Have you seen this film? Do you love it as much as I do? If you haven't seen it you simply must! You will not be disappointed, I promise!

I love Sense and Sensibility! You're right, the actors play the parts really well. When I read the book, I enjoyed it, but was surprised by how much more peppy the film was. Emma Thompson also wrote the script, which I think is amazing- she did such a good job!
Emma Thompson is so talented! I absolutely adore her!! Thanks for stopping by Kit!
