Bewertung von debterrill
As a devoted fan of Jane Austen's novels, I am immediately suspicious when I hear of another novel adapted for film. Austen's novels are slow, delicate sketches, not terribly suited for film.
This particular novel, "Mansfield Park", is rather problematic for adaptation, as its heroine, Fanny Price, is a quiet, introspective creature -- hard to get to know and like. If it takes an entire novel to appreciate Fanny, how can that be accomplished in a 90-minute movie? The filmmaker accomplished this by changing Fanny's character. In the movie, she is far spunkier than in the novel. It's not a bad adjustment.
The key theme of the novel and the movie has to do with the opposition of "modern" and "conservative". Austen wrote the novel as an argument against the social and moral excesses of Regency England. Although it is not completely clear in the movie, you do get the idea that Fanny and Edmund represent old-fashioned virtues, while the Crawfords represent modern vices. It all works pretty well.
All in all, not a bad adaptation, and worth seeing.

Okay, so the plot lines on these "Broadway Melody" movies are pretty thin. But the dancing and the music are great! This one has the inimitable Sophie Tucker running a boarding house for out-of-work performers, and Judy Garland as her pre-teen daughter. Judy sings some wonderful songs in this, including "You Made Me Love You," to a fan photo of Clark Gable. And Eleanor Powell -- what a hoofer!
This is one of my favorite Fred-and-Ginger movies. The music is wonderful, the dancing glorious, and the gowns are to die for. The Art Deco sets and the fashions transport you right into 1935. I can watch this again and again.
