Emma Thompson, who also wrote the screenplay (and won an Oscar for it), and her two sisters are left penniless when their dead father's money goes elsewhere. With a small income but nowhere to live, the girls are gifted a Devon country cottage on the estate of a crass cousin. Emma and middle sister Kate Winslet become the subject of various amorous entanglements involving Hugh Grant, Alan Rickman and Greg Wise. An elegant and charming adaptation of Jane Austen's classic.
