god acting bad costumes

Warning: Spoilers
I watched this online. I wish someone could make a digitally restored and unabridged version with neutral DVD region encoding. The color quality was sometimes such as to make me wonder if there was a deliberate but unsuccessful attempt to convert it to black and White with Sepia toning. At first I thought the actress playing Marianne was overacting something terrible, but then I realized it was her character Marianne who is overacting her own sensibility so overall the acting is very good. The surroundings and props are mostly good but sometimes Victorian rather than regency. The costumes vary from almost awful(zipper!) to decent and with some surprises I spotted at least 2-3 items, probably there are a few more, of genuine pieces of regency clothing. So if like me you Think good costumes are an important part; Try to overlook the bad ones and keep a lookout to find the pieces of genuine regency clothing. This probably Counts as a spoiler so be warned. The character Margaret is not present in this version and you are only shown the beginning of Brandons courtship of Marianne after the return from London not how it concludes.
