Monday Afternoon @ the Movies: In honor of Jane Austen’s 250th birthday – Persuasion (2007)

In honor of Jane Austen’s 250th birthday – Persuasion (2007) British television film adaptation of Jane Austen’s 1817 novel stars Sally Hawkins, Alice Krige, Anthony Head and Rupert Penry-Jones. Anne Elliot (Hawkins) was in love with Frederick Wentworth (Penry-Jones), who was rejected by her snobby parents 8 years ago, and persuaded to reject his proposal of marriage. Now 27 and unmarried, Anne re-encounters Wentworth, who has made his fortune in the Napoleonic Wars and is looking for a wife – anyone but Anne, whom he has not forgiven for rejecting him all those years ago.  Not Rated: 1 hour 33 minutes.
