@arianna19742000 I thought the girl they had to play Anne was really good - in the book, she's not meant to be pretty. That's pretty much the whole point - losing him makes her lose her youth and good looks.

He is so handsome, I just wished they would choose a different actress for Anne Elliott, he was just too good looking for her.
