Emma (TV) (1996)


I had the opportunity to watch several movies recently since I am at home recuperating.  The first film I selected was the made-for-television version of "Emma."  It stars Kate Beckinsale and is based on Jane Austen's book by the same name.  I am more familiar with the modernized version featured in "Clueless" which is one of my favorite films that I should watch again soon.  The film is a period piece about a girl who fancies herself a matchmaker, but who gets some of the matches wrong and misses out on her own match in the process.  It's an interesting story to watch with lots of banter and twists in the romantic plot.  The film gets 3 ½ out of 5 stars, but is great for a movie produced for television.
