Emma Directed by Diarmuid Lawrence, 1999

From the greatest romantic novelist of all time comes a delightfully wicked comedy of love and matchmaking. Jane Austen’s sly and vivacious heroines have enchanted readers for more than 200 years. Now, for the first time on DVD, this acclaimed production from the creators of A&E’s bestselling PRIDE AND PREJUDICE brings to life one of the most fascinating Austen characters of all — the charming and mischievous Emma Woodhouse.

Starring Kate Beckinsale (The Last Days Of Disco), EMMA is the story of a rich, clever and beautiful young woman who can’t resist orchestrating other people’s love lives. As her romantic plans go ridiculously wrong, however, it’s Emma herself who risks missing out on her perfect match!

Join A&E for a wry visit to the drawing rooms and country manors of 19th century England — a visit to the enchanting world of Jane Austen’s EMMA now in the crystal clear digital clarity of DVD.
