I really liked this movie. I was quite impressed with Hugh Dancy, he is very handsome, and is the kind of man that makes women's heart flutter. In this very intricate story of a young man wealthy, well-read, knowledgeable and interested in helping others, he admires one young woman from afar. She is beautiful and knows it and flirts with all men. Daniel is the only one that knows how to listen to her. She thinks all men are in love with her. She however has a secret that keeps her from ever being truly happy. Daniel is a caring man, and finds a woman and takes her in and helps her, the movie centers around the young beautiful woman and her exploits and how she is perceived by Daniel. He is quite a catch but the one who does end up catching him, will surprise all of you.

Barbara Hersey plays his Mother and shows her versatility in playing a much older woman. I was surprised at how well she played the part. Very believable.

The cast is just amazing. I felt as if I was spending time in the 1800's. I recommend this film I believe it is a classic like that of any Jane Austen story. I thoroughly enjoyed the story.
