  • okay seriously this movie needs these scenes. it's too short.

  • I love the Harvell / Wentworth scenes - and Wentworth is gorgeous!

  • "I am no match maker"

    No, but a good match breaker

  • isn't it ITV not BBC mate?

  • funny, my dvd has all these scenes

  • @aussierachl Yes, as does mine. As noted in the description, and several of the comments, these were deleted from the BROADCAST on PBS, not from the DVD. I thought I would post them for those people who only watched it on TV, because I thought it would encourage them to by the DVD.

  • @zippyC3 riight, that's stupid that they were deleted in the first place....they'd be like wtf?

  • @aussierachl I don't think stupid covers it. It was both insane and idiotic. ;) I can only assume that they wanted to shorten it for time, but there were plenty of other scenes that would have been better to cut if they *had* to do that. PBS can have things run as long as they want, however, so it really, really makes no sense.

  • THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING THESE UP!!!! This adaptation of Persuasion is my absolute favorite, and probably my top 3 favorite movies ever, so anything associated with it is well received :) Thanks so much again!

  • i don't have the dvd but watched this movie numerous times...youtube movie (thnx youtube!) has all of these scenes. Interesting to know it's not on the actual DVD.

  • @bestcrossroad I think you misread my description. These were on the DVD, they just weren't broadcast originally on PBS. They cut it for time, though no one seems to know why that was necessary. Anyway, U.S. viewers didn't get to see them unless they purchased the DVD, which is why I put them up here. :)

  • deleted?? shortened??? we see a lot ofl key moments here.

  • These were not deleted on the DVD??

  • @Analadd Not on the DVD I have...got it at B&N in the U.S.

  • Captain Wentworth: "she's perfection itself"

    my gosh.... why can't modern men talk this way now?.....

  • @miaka0210 alas where are our Anne Elliots? we live in vulgar times and the vulgarity affects us all --and the pathology between the sexes is heart breaking--I have taught this beautiful book many times--almost always to women --men need to read it!! BTW I think the 1995 version more beautiful And the book! To think she was dying as she wrote it!

  • @miaka0210

    Hahahahahaha... is true...

  • This makes me so mad. I can't believe they cut these scenes out.

  • I have recently become obsessed with this movie. I knew things had to have been cut. Thank you!

  • I wish they had kept more to show the depth of their previous relationship (the letters) and more to show his feelings for her. It comes across as more one-sided in the movie.

  • They had to make cuts to fit the time slot, but I agree...wish they could have kept these. Thx for sharing.

  • "deleted scenes"???? I'd rather call it the "collection of key moments cut out with no reason"!!!

  • LOL! You are quite right about that! :)

  • Oh my god HOW could they miss out that look at 2.49?? When Captain Wentworth is watching Anne, and she turns her head and he quickly looks away. It is one of my favourite moments of the entire adaptation.

  • AND the conversations between Wentworth and Harville!! These are SO important scenes. I can't believe this wonderful adaptation was butchered so much, it is unbelievable. Thank god I got to see it first time round in the UK, in its compete state.

  • they ARE in the movie. by no mean deleted lol

  • how could they these are vital scenes!, stupid people cutting out some of the best parts.

    I saw the version where they had not deleted any scenes but I think it is great that you put this here :D

    love this movie!!!

  • love the scene beginning at 5:17

  • They cut out some of the most wonderful scenes! Thanks for posting this.

  • is it just me or does Lady Russell annoy the hell out of you?

  • Nope. Not the only one: her face, her words, her presence. Someone should push her out of a moving carriage. And I think Anne should do it, for all the years she had to live without Frederick. Poor girl.

  • @houzan8 Me too! I loathe her!

  • Wow, they had cut a lot out...thankfully I saw it the version w/ all the parts included.

  • I love this adaptation

  • i LOVE Captain Harville!

  • YIPPEE!!!! There is more!

    I wonder why they cut them? Was it for commercials

  • these were not deleted in the UK- all this was shown when this was originally aired on ITV in early 2008.

  • Yes, I realize that. If you read my description of the video I clearly stated that they were deleted from the U.S. version.

  • omg clip 4 when he's staring at her and then looks away. :D <3 <3 <3

  • Clips 2 and 7 shouldn't have been deleted!!!

    Mary is so funny, waiting for Anne to take care of herself lying sooooo sick, haha. And in clip 7, the part where Wentworth says Anne is perfection itself!!!!! OMG

  • Persuasion is my fav jane austen book and i love this adaptation of it

  • What are you on about, shes lovely. Great film, must get the book.

  • This is my favorite Jane Austen book

  • oh those were great!  thanks! :D

  • thank you so much

  • "Shes perfection itself. Ive never loved any but her." Sigh. Thanks for putting this up. Ive seen the PBS version and wished that scene was in it.

  • well its in the uploaded movie here on YT....

  • I remembered all of these scenes from the movie I watched on pbs...Oh wait, I think I watched it on you tube. Man, if those scenes weren't in the pbs version, what a bummer!

  • They weren't on PBS...I remember thinking it was odd that they didn't show them in the carriage returning to Uppercross after Louisa's accident. Sure enough, that was one of the scenes that was left out.

  • Thanks so much!! Why oh Why did PBS delete these scenes? They are wonderful and add so much to the narrative.

  • PBS deleted the scenes because they only have 90 alloted for the Masterpiece Theatre timeslot. According to them, the U.K. producers decided which scenes to cut. (However, the deleted scenes are included on the U.S. dvd from what other people have said.)

  • true fact, i got my from netflix today and watched it and sure enough, complete and perfect!

  • Thank you for this! I didn't even realize they had edited it. *sigh*

  • Yeah, that's why I did it. And even though I heard it was only 7 minutes they left out, clearly it was more like 12 when you add up the extra little bits that I couldn't put here with YouTube's time/space limit.
