Both romances are met with Elinor’s disapproval. Meanwhile the more reckless Marianne has a passionate public affair with the dashing smoothy Greg Wise (John Willoughby) and a simmering affair with her more refined loyal middle-aged admirer Colonel Brandon (Alan Rickman). But before they can make their feelings known to each other, the hostile interfering Fanny finds a reason to send her brother to live in London because of his prior engagement. They are left destitute when cut off from the inheritance, and are forced into moving from their palatial home to a small country cottage in Devonshire on their uncle’s estate.įanny’s shy but charming soon-to-be clergyman brother Edward (Hugh Grant) captures the romantic interest of the sensible older sister Elinor’s heart. He’s married to the bitchy Fanny (Harriet Walter) who could care less about the daughters of Henry’s second wife (Gemma Jones)–Elinor (Emma Thompson) and Marianne (Kate Winslet), the young adults, and the 11-year-old Margaret (Emilie Francois). Henry Dashwood (Tom Wilkinson) dies unexpectedly, thereby his estate must pass on by English law to his weak-minded son John (James Fleet) from his first marriage. It’s written by the brilliant actress Emma Thompson, who won an Oscar for the adapted screenplay.
