An interesting movie, but not Mansfield Park........2007-09-06

This would have been an interesting movie if the film makers had titled it something other than "Mansfield Park." However, since they chose to present it as a rendition of the Jane Austen novel, I think they took far too many liberties with the story.

The biggest difference was in the character of Fanny Price. No matter how badly we in the twenty-first century want to believe it, she was *not* a modern, outspoken, independent woman. She was deeply conservative. If the film makers disliked that aspect, why choose this book to film at all?

No film can completely capture the spirit of a novel. But when I watch an adaptation I want to feel that it was created with a fundamental level of understanding of the book, and appreciation for it. This film fails.

I think this is one of the best Austen movies (so shoot me.).......2007-08-31

So often Austen movies are mis-cast and the characters you loved become just annoying. I think this movie was cast great. I realize that some liberties were taken, but I thought the tone was great. It moves fast, and Fanny Price is given more life than the book did. It makes her out to be a little bit more like Austen herself would be in my immagination. When so many of the other movies have blown it (by casting too old, too stupid, too mean etc,) this movie got a lot of things right. It made me want to read the book again which was probably a good goal for them.

An improvement over the book.......2007-08-30

I greatly enjoyed this movie. While the characters are different from the book, the plot is essentially the same. The literary Fanny is, to put it bluntly, a "drip" and the literary Edmund is a sanctimonious prig. The Fanny in the film is bright, sardonic, and literary-minded, much like the young Jane Austen, while still being high-minded and loving. This Edmund, while still being serious and with a vocation for the church, is more capable of having fun. One can see why they're together. In the book, I couldn't.

Rent this. Don't buy........2007-07-27

I'm glad I chose to rent this before I bought. I own many Austen romances in movie form, but I won't bother buying this one. I didn't care for the interpretation at all. The cast had decent potential, but no one really stood out. This really wasn't romantically protrayed. I also didn't appreciate the raunchy undertones that were added. Not necessary and not appropriate for a wide audience.

Fascinatingly brilliant, romantic, and dark at the same time.......2007-07-14

This is one of my favorite movies and the best film version of Mansfield Park that has been made. Frances O'Connor does a wonderful job of capturing Fanny's emotions and letting us see into her mind. What's more, the romance between Fanny and Edmund is full of the tension and yet sweet, innocent, and deep love that Jane Austen portrayed in the book. All in all, a wonderful a film, one you have to see if you loved the book!

The socially restricted lives of 18th-century women hardly seems like a subject that would inspire dozens of 20th (and 21st) century adaptations--but the brilliant novels of Jane Austen are flush with sparkling dialogue, razor-sharp wit, marvelously realized characters that range from adorably sympathetic to grotesquely comic, and--above all--ingeniously intricate plots, which arrive at a seemingly inevitable happy conclusion yet keep you seized with suspense every inch of the way. The Jane Austen Collection pulls together six BBC miniseries from 1971 through 1987, one for each of Austen's much-beloved books.

Unsurprisingly, the gems of the lot are also the best of the novels: Pride and Prejudice and Emma. Pride and Prejudice, expertly translated to the screen by novelist Fay Weldon, skillfully chronicles the ups and downs of the sensible but quick to judge Elizabeth Bennet (the adorable Elizabeth Garvie) and the snooty Mr. Darcy (played with an imperious scowl by David Rintoul). Any adaptation of Emma rests firmly on its central character, and Doran Godwin wonderfully captures Emma Woodhouse's resilience, determination, and exasperating self-satisfaction. Definitely the funniest of Austen's novels, Emma's satirical humor is perfectly balanced with romantic yearning, and this 1972 version succeeds delightfully.

Persuasion, though more melancholy in tone, has a wonderfully sympathetic heroine in Anne Elliot (played by the graceful Ann Fairbanks), who once turned away the man she loved but is given the chance, seven years later, to set things right. Sense and Sensibility suffers from comparison to the star firepower and cinematic sweep of the 1995 movie with Emma Thompson (a must-see for any Austen fan), but the dueling characters of gracious Elinore and headstrong Marianne, two sisters struggling with fallen fortunes, make for enjoyable viewing in this 1981 adaptation. Mansfield Park has perhaps the dullest hero and heroine of any Austen novel, yet the story zips along, powered by some of Austen's most outrageous supporting characters, here brought to deliciously comic life by Anna Massey and Angela Pleasence. Northanger Abbey satirizes gothic romances and the overheated imaginations that loved them; but though the tone is more broad and melodramatic than most of Austen, this 1987 adaptation suits the novel and rounds out this very satisfying boxed set. --Bret Fetzer

Dry, but great!.......2007-09-03

This collection is wonderful, but you should expect it to be VERY dry. The dialog is virtually word-for-word from Jane Austen's novels, and has no bells and whistles. If you're a devout Austen fan (as I am), you'll enjoy this collection. But if you're more into the dramatic, get your pillow ready!

Has the sixties look........2007-07-12

I really liked Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion was true to the Austin book, but the casting wa strange, Emma and Mr. Knightley had no spark, Norlthanger Abbey was so badly cast and acted I could not watch more than a few minutes. Since that bad experience I have not had the desire to watch Mansfield Park, but will do so one day. On the whole, the collection was disappointing.

Wonderful stories.......2007-06-13

I received this collection from my children who know that I am a Jane Austen fan. The DVD's are outstanding. There are several episodes of each story, so you can break them up if you want to - for instance, Pride and Prejudice is comprised of 5 separate episodes and requires both sides of the DVD. The adaptations are excellent - the characters are well fleshed out and believable in the ir roles. If you are a Jane Austen fan, you will love the adaptations, since they follow Ms. Austen's original story lines much more closely than some of the popular movies do. You can recognize lines from the books. Get them - you won't regret it!

In 1983, the BBC made this 261-minute miniseries from Jane Austen's novel Mansfield Park. Austen explores the well-tread theme of class distinction and the triumph of love, but Fanny Price (Sylvestra Le Touzel) is an original Austen creation. Fanny, from a large and poor family, is taken into the home of her wealthy uncle and aunt, the stoic Sir Thomas Bertram (Bernard Hepton) and the childlike Lady Bertram (Angela Pleasence, daughter of actor Donald). Also residing at the posh Bertram mansion are the oldest son, irresponsible Tom (Christopher Villiers), distant Julia (Liz Crowther), and the kindly Edmund (Nicholas Farrell).

If you can get past Le Touzel's odd mannerism of making little chopping movements with her open-palmed hand for emphasis, this is a faithful adaptation of the novel. It's much slower than Northanger Abbey and lacks some of the passionate drama of Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, but it still depicts a strong yet very kind heroine who stands up for what she believes in. When popular philanderer Henry Crawford (Robert Burbage) actually falls for and proposes to Fanny, she rejects him, much to the surprise and disdain of the Bertrams--except, of course, for our hero Edmund. For trivia buffs: Jonny Lee Miller, who plays young Charles Price (one of Fanny's brothers), has the role of Edmund Bertram in the 1999 theatrical version of Mansfield Park. --N.F. Mendoza

Wonderful!.......2007-09-11

Make a pot of tea, curl up under a nice blanket, and sink into the world of Jane Austen. This adaptation of Mansfield Park is one of the best Jane Austen adaptations I have seen. It is very close to the book and one can feel right along with all the characters. It is long, but well worth your time!

Story is right. Production is little off........2007-07-06

My wife and mother-in-law are huge Jane Austen fans. For myself, I enjoy the peculiarities of the characters, the glimpse into English country life -- of the better classes, of course (!), and the notion that there could actually have been people who spoke to one another with courtesy, restraint, refinement, and -- not the least -- grammatical English.

According to my in-house experts, the story is correct, the characters close enough, and the scenes about as they had envisioned them.

That said, the pace is a little slow (even for Jane Austen) and the production values are decidedly inferior to those of the A&E production of "Pride and Prejudice" or Emma Thompson's "Sense and Sensibility" or Gwynneth Paltrow's "Emma."

We enjoyed it, but were certainly not "wowed."

Not quite up to snuff - but still enjoyable.......2007-04-30

I expected much more from this BBC production of a Jane Austin novel but I still found a lot to enjoy. It was very slow and after so much suffering, the happy ending came much too quickly.

My main problem was with the acting. I am a huge fan of British actors and this was the first time I was bothered by any of their performances. I don't know if it was the fault of the individuals, actually, or that of the director. The main example is that of Aunt Bertram, a frail woman who spends most of her time on the couch hugging her dog. I don't know how Jane Austen wrote her but I doubt that it was as close to "insane" as this actress portrayed her. (Think Blanche duBois from A Streetcar Named Desire.) Her speech and behavior was so strange as to seem bizarre and it didn't further the plot; it called attention to itself and was distracting. It was also hard to hear her words and I would have appreciated subtitles.

The other really over-the-top performance was that of Fanny's father, a rip-roaring drunk that would have gotten gold stars in an acting class, but here, again, it just stuck out like a sore thumb. Likewise his makeup---he sported the reddest nose this side of Ronald MacDonald, and again, it was so surprising, that it detracted from the story. It was also highly unbelievable that his wife was so healthy and beautiful after all those years with such a drunken slob, (who brags that he believes in wife beating) and with all those wild kids!

I thought that Fanny was well cast but the actress engaged in some physical mannerisms that were off-putting, mostly the way she tensed up her arms and chopped them in the air whenever she was upset, which was frequently. True, she was supposed to be an awkward teenager but again, it called attention to itself. This is something any good director could have remedied. Other than that, she had the requisite air of reticence and unfailing virtue that the part required. I liked the way she looked; her lack of obvious beauty made her more interesting than prettier women, especially in the few scenes where she did show some color.

Edmund was equally well-cast. He was very believable as the future parson who was entranced by the more sophisticated and beautiful Mary Crawford, but who eventurally comes to his senses. He looked right, too--not quite handsome with that huge nose, but still with a sort of nobility that shone through his extreme features.

The actress who plays Mary Crawford was very good, I thought, portraying a complex woman who had some genuine goodness in her, but was undone by her own love of glamour and money. Yes, her wig was awful, but so was the wig of Lord Bertram...(who did these wigs?) Her brother who was supposed to be a big lady killer was badly cast. The actor did a good enough job but he was so physically unattractive that he was never convincing. Sir Thomas Bertram was well done, humane and charming and stern when necessary..very much the Lord of the Manor.

I have one complaint about the packaging of the DVD. It features Fanny and Edmund, holding hands, so I knew, before I opened the box how it was going to end. This really spoiled any surprise for me.

However the story was still basically a good one and there is plenty of visual enjoyment. There is a certain magic in these BBC adaptations of the classics that still came across here, in spite of its flaws. Maybe it's just seeing the splendor of a lost era - the great houses, the costumes, the lush rose gardens, the immaculate horse carriages. Maybe it's the glimpse into the mind of a great moralist, Jane Austin, for whom virtue always wins over vice! For that alone, it's worth watching.

Simply Charming and Endearing.......2007-03-30

Well-developed, sympathetic characters add immeasurably to the appeal of this pleasantly accurate adaptation of Mme. Austen's book. While they in no way rival the beauty of the actors of the big-money Hollywood productions of Mme. Austen's other works, these actors perform quite admirably in this film. Sylvestra Le Touzel ("Fanny") is entirely believable as she morphs from a mousy miss to a capable, self-possessed young woman -- although she overemotes on more than one occasion. (I understand that Fanny's eyes "speak" for her emotions, but really! They "bug out" in surprise so often, she looks like her aunt's dog, "Pug," much of the time.) Angela Pleasance overdoes it a bit as spacey, childlike Aunt Bertram; but otherwise, this film is well worth the investment of time it takes to view the entire 6 episodes. Although you won't quite shed tears for Fanny's predicament, you will feel some degree of affection and sympathy for her. Quite charming and endearing.

Enjoyable.......2007-01-06

I enjoyed watching this video. The script is very true to the book. The casting was a little off but if you can get by that the rest was great.

Jayne deserved much better than that..........2006-06-07

Of all the movies made about movie-stars,this one would have to be one of the worst.
I find that the disrespect that Jayne Mansfield suffered from during her short life is showing again in this film.
The costumes that Loni wears were obviously done on the ''cheap'',and her acting abilities are just as low as anything else she has done.Incredibly,Arnold is much more credible as the ''mimbo'' Mickey Hargitay was.
The only scene that i found interesting is when Jayne learns that Marilyn has died.According to my research,she really believed that this was a chance for her to finally get the roles that she could not get when Monroe was still alive.Only problem was,Jayne was (in 1962) an has-been,with a drinking-problem,and was perceived by Hollywood as a loose-cannon,a mess,and someone that belonged in the yellow-press of the time.The only reason she continued accepting roles after 1959,was to keep up with her high overhead,and lifestyle.The Jayne Mansfield Story in his treatment and el-cheapo production values is an insult to the legacy that Miss Mansfield has left us with.If you are interested by Jayne,you would be much better off purchasing 'The Girl Can't help it' or 'Will success spoil Rock Hunter'(in her best,and biggest budget films),and to see the contrast in her career,get 'Promises,Promises'(1963),and finally 'Single Room Furnished'(1966,but released in 1968) to see what Hollywood,and all that over-exposure did to her,and her spirit.
I am not saying that The Jayne Mansfiel Story is mean-spirited,I am sure they meant well,but it is so incomplete,and cheaply-made,that it does not deserve to be called HER Story.
Jayne Mansfield deserved MUCH more than a made-for-TV movie,and we might see it ...eventually.My suggestion for the role of Jayne ? ANNA NICOLE SMITH who is basically doing the same schitck...50 years later.She would be FABULOUSSSSSSSS as Jayne,hopefully with some $$$ spent on a wardrobe deserving of Jayne (Let's not forget that in 1956,35,000$ was spent on Jayne's wardrobe in 'The Girl Can't Help It' alone.Translate this to 2006 dollars,please)

THE OTHER BLONDE BOMBSHELL..........2006-06-05

This film recounts the life of Jayne Mansfield and her transformation from a blooming Dallas high schooler to a platinum blonde bombshell who rose to prominence in the Hollywood of the 1950s. Starring Loni Anderson as Jayne and Arnold Schwartzenegger as her one time husband and true love, Mickey Hargitay, a former Mr. Universe and bodybuilder turned business man, the film is mildly entertaining. Her story unfolds through his eyes.

Hers is the sad story of an intelligent, beautiful woman who initially chose to be viewed as a dumb blonde sex object in order to jump start her career as a film star, but who would later want to be given the opportunity to be considered as a serious actress. In her heyday in the 1950s, Ms. Mansfield was the toast of the town with fans up the wazoo.

Unfortunately, that was to be somewhat short-lived. Jayne Mansfield was never able to get over her stereotypic portrayal of a bimbo, so Hollywood never gave her serious consideration as an actress. In the battle of the dumb blondes, Ms. Mansfield ran a distant second to Marilyn Monroe. This relegation to the back of the pack would always stick in Ms. Mansfield's craw.

By the time the 1960s arrived, she, instead, courted cheap publicity, drank too much, and ended up a faded, buxom has been, as well as a divorcee with three children to whom she was a devoted mother. She was now a relic from a bygone time, as tastes changed with the advent of The Beatles and a new, exciting pop culture was emerging. With Marilyn Monroe already having met her maker, Ms. Mansfield's death from a tragic car accident, at thirty six, was to herald the end of an era.

Loni Anderson does an excellent job in the starring role, imbuing the role with enough intelligence, as well as pathos, to be compelling, though somewhat predictable . Surprisingly enough, Arnold Schwartzenegger does a credible job as Mickey Hargitay, painting a sympathetic portrait of Jayne's much beleaguered, one time husband and father to her two boys. Ray Butenika, as Ms. Mansfield's long time agent, Bob, gives a good performance. All in all, the film has an excellent cast that does its best with the somewhat mediocre script and is, at least, worth a rental.

I actually remember seeing Jayne Mansfield, when I was a young girl. In those days, theatres in Manhattan, such as the RKO, would often times showcase films in which the star of the film would make a guest appearance. The theatre would literally role out the red carpet and oftentimes a band, as well as a host of majorettes (of which I was one), twirling batons in unison, would greet the star as she stepped out of her limousine, larger than life. The star would also to be met by a throng of cheering fans outside the theatre. Then, she would be whisked away to the theatre, where she would go on stage and say a few words, only to disappear as quickly as she had arrived. This practice has now been consigned to the darkest recesses of the memories of those who participated in these theatrical welcome wagons.

Entertaining, sad true story of Jayne Mansfield!.......2006-05-26

I have watched this movie many times on TV, Im so happy they finally put it on DVD, the quality is excellent. The casting couldnt have been more perfect Loni Anderson as Jayne and Arnold Schwarzenegger as the handsome Mickey Hargitay, what a perfect couple they were. The movie starts with Jayne as a young single mother and Hollywood starlet. Her "blonde bombsell" looks, Playboy and publicity stunts become her ticket to stardom. Jayne in reality was no dumb blonde at all. Jayne lands a big part in a broadway play "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter". Then Jayne stars in several big movies, and becomes sterotype as a ditzy blonde and the studios answer to the next Marilyn Monroe, but as Marilyn, Jayne also longs for more serious roles. But she becomes trapped by the Hollywood system and the blonde over the top image she so masterfully created. Along the way she falls in love with a young handsome body builder nice guy named Mickey, who struggles to make Jayne happy. They have 3 children together and live in a beautiful pink palace. But as Jaynes career slides into mismanagement and cheaply made B- movies, she turns to comfort in a bottle and their relationship crumbles. The 1960's hippy culture has little room left for a 50's blonde tease pin up girl. Jayne ends up touring clubs with a comedy stage act just before her tragic death in a car accident on June 30th 1967 , she was 34 years old. My favorite line in the movie is when Jayne tells the press "Micky has a 53 inch chest and mine is 42 inch, our arms are short so it makes dancing very difficult" lol!! In my opinion Jayne was a great comedian, a wonderful mother, and animal lover, a lover of life, truely a lady with a big heart. If she had lived she would have still been a legend of the 50's and played Vegas! I wish she had never left Mickey, he really loved her and I believe many of the other men in her life used her. It is also stated in the Jayne bio book by her good friend May Mann, that Jayne only went to the church of Satan as a gag & publicty stunt, knowing Jayne that sounds like her lol. She was a Christain woman by all accounts. To see the best of Jaynes movies I would recommend the great comedy 1956 "The Girl Can't Help IT" and 1957 "Will Sucess Spoil Rock Hunter". And the last film "Guide to a married Man", small part but very funny.

Man, oh, man, oh... Mansfield!.......2006-02-26

I had the opportunity to view this movie recently, and I feel that it did a relatively decent job relating the story of Jayne Mansfield, although there are a few artistic license moments, but they seem to work overall.

Loni Anderson personafies her relatively well, even though she is a bit more angular than the original more curvacious and softer Mansfield, a cartoon cutie to be sure, with that little girl face and entirely womanly body. She works the bubbly charm to the hilt, eclipsing her contemporary Monroe in several ways, many times with a much more pre-meditated exagerrated effervescence, arousing men in her pink field of influence to feats of lustful ennervation, while at the same time either motivating and otherwise disturbing other females in the area. The erotically-powerful 'witchy' dynamics of a bombshell.

Early on, she discovers the formula for success, and by The Art of Deception, utilizes her assets to gain fame and fortune.

Arnold Schwarzenegger portrays husband Mickey Hargitay, a well-meaning man who is remembered primarily for his exceptional physique, which Schwarzenegger actually decreased in bulk for since attaining the Mr. Universe and Olympia titles two years previous. As her husband and confidant, he also becomes among other things, her father-figure and virtual baby-sitter towards the end of their marriage and career, while she became counter-productively selfish and obsessed with being in the limelight at all costs, even accepting roles that he and her agent felt were beneath her, such as sexploitation film roles to stripping gigs at redneck bars, much of which was attributed to alcoholism in the film. This presentation seems to attempt to portray Mansfield as uncontrolled and desperate, although source materials will attest to the opposite - she knew exactly what she was doing, and knew how to get it.

By that obsession and despite such alleged foibles, she made herself a star, establishing her iconographic prominance. It seems that to her, this was all part of the plan; she loved being on stage, in the spotlight, soaking up that raw sexual energy, and really living life to the fullest, following her passions and bliss. She created The Pink Palace, her own total environment, enjoyed being driven around in her Pink Cadillac, all while attired in her inimitable personal style, with all the shwa d'vive of a glamorous Hollywood Babylon Goddess.

Self-made, Mansfield was a sex-bomb, mother, and business woman.

The film begins and ends with the scene of the 'accident' - the infamous mosquito-spraying truck collision, although the vile and literally accursed Sam Brody is not mentioned by name; and there is no mention of Dr. LaVey being her lover and mentor here, perhaps as a result of the limited information at the time the film was released.* With the exception of one or two, several documentaries fail to mention the LaVey connection entirely, which may be chalked up to the dreaded 'S' word and Satanophobia.

Some women are just so voluptuous, that it cannot be contained within the confines of puritanism, and to deny such innate sensuality would be a tragic waste of enormous salacious potential, which she did not squander, but knew how to wield well, for her own benefit, and that of her admirers.

~~~~~~~~~
* For those unaware, Ms. Mansfield was a member of The Church of Satan - there are even photographs and letters attesting to that fact. In brief, LaVey placed a Death Curse on Brody, and unfortunately, Jayne was on ground zero when it manifested, despite The Black Pope's warnings for her to remain distant. Also not mentioned is LaVey's successful Compassion ritual for Jayne's son Zoltan, who recovered after a mauling by a lion at the zoo.

{For much more, see 'The Secret Life of A Satanist' by Blanche Barton for the full story}.
