Weaker story than Emma, so weaker movie. Two sisters needing husbands. Our heroine loses her love to another . . . but wait . . . it was actually his brother who married. Jane Fairfax is tragic figure, forced to marry the shallow Willoughby even though she has great attributes. Marianne gets the Colonel, not Willoughby. She's sad but then realizes it's for the best. Our heroine (can't recall her name) gets Knightley--shy and perfect. Yawn
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
