The most faithful version of Emma, though the 2008 version is pretty close too. Very dry and dusty due to its age. Very similar to Mansfield Park (1982) and Pride and Prejudice (1980) in terms of its production: thorough and highbrow but low budget and dry. But this was not as entertaining to watch as the others from around this time. Because the 2008 version is very close to as faithful as this, I think there are few reasons to dig this out. Probably only for the oldies who saw it first time round.
