    After I read North and South, it replaced Emma as my favorite book (Pride and Prejudice is 3rd on my list) - and this movie (2 discs) was a good adaption. Richard Armitage handles the intensity of Thornton's character very well. My only disappointment was the liberties taken with the ending. It was satisfying, but in my opinion, not as strong as the book's ending. The cinematography is excellent and the supporting character portrayals are also quite good.

    If you like Jane Austen books and movies, as I do, you will like North and South. I was very happy with the quality of the film, the story, and the characters. I may have to buy this for my library.

    This is a reasonably interesting story, but unfortunately we have been spoiled by watching Downton Abby just prior to watching this, and the characters and setting just don't compare. This definitely comes off looking 2nd rate in comparison, from every point of view.
