A rare treat for those interested in the process of developing a first-rate movie from a classic novel. -- Ellen Myrick, Book Page

Grandly entertaining... Emma Thompson proves as crisp and indispensably clever a screenwriter as she is a leading lady. -- Janet Maslin, The New York Times

[A] fascinating journal of making the film. -- Jack Kroll, Newsweek

I’m taking a class comparing the book to the screenplay. I never realized what a genius Emma Thompson is, paring down hundreds of words into short, simple scenes and making improvements along the way. Jane Austen probably never dreamed of movies, but Thompson shows her mastery.

I'm not a 'fan' of anything but I do love Ang Lee's "Sense and Sensibility'. I think it's one of the great cinematic achievements and have seen it so many times, I know much of the dialog. Emma Thompson's book is a wonderful appendix to the work!

(now if only someone would do the same for Fight Club and Bridge on the River Kwai)

The book is completely as described and was obviously in perfect condition when it was shipped. The bent cover and pages were the result of putting a soft paperback cover book into a loose envelope. Packaging needed some firm sides.

Mes restrictions concernent l'état dans lequel le livre était. Il avait de toute évidence pris l'eau et certaines pages, dont des images étaient gondolées avec des marques d'humidité. Cela a quand même gâché ma lecture. Méfions-nous des "petits" prix d'occasion.Je l'ai signalé au vendeur qui m'a renvoyé un message de regret stéréotypé.

Emma Thompson is the best. Her screenplay is written well and the production diaries provide brilliant britishisms and snark. Fully recommend it.
