England, 1814 is the setting for Jane Austen’s final Regency romance. Seven years ago, Anne Elliot fell in love with Frederick Wentworth, a young naval officer. Friends and family opposed the match due to her superior wealth and social standing, and persuaded her to break off the engagement. Now Wentworth has returned from the wars and is looking for a wife. He is rich, confident and eligible. Her fortune has waned, so have her looks. She has never stopped loving him, but he has never forgiven her. Then there are the Musgrove daughters, as foolish as they are pretty… Sumptuous location filming includes Georgian mansions, the historic city of Bath and the seaside resort of Lyme Regis.
