Trivia:
The gold v-neckline gown with brown trim Samantha Bond (Mrs. Weston) wears when Emma sings with Frank at Randalls is the same costume worn by Susannah Harker (Jane Bennet) to the Meryton Assembly Ball in "Pride and Prejudice" (1995), and by a guest at the Easter Ball in "Wives and Daughters" (1999).

While I adore Jeremy Northam in the Winslow boy, Mark Strong is outstanding as Mr. Knightley in this much more human version of Emma. She is, as Jane Austen rightly stated, not our favourite character, and in the Gwyneth Paltrow version she is even more vain and manipulative. In this version, Kate B makes her very young and yet willing to learn. I liked it very much and hope the two main characters get picked up very quickly for more movies so that we in Canada can see them more often.
