Trivia:
The white and blue muslin day dress Felicity Jones (Catherine Morland) wears reading in Bath is the same costume worn by 'Samantha Bond' (Maria Bertram) walking with Mr. Crawford in "Mansfield Park" (1983), and by Allie Byrne (Lady Kiely) in Sharpe's Battle (1995) (TV). more
Quotes:
Mrs. Allen: There! Did you ever see anything prettier, Mr Allen?
Mr. Allen: Other than yourself, do you mean, my dear?
Mrs. Allen: Oh, fine, Mr Allen! But Catherine...
Mr. Allen: Ah, she looks just as she should! Now... might we make our way, do you think? I entertain high hopes of our arriving at the rooms by midnight.
Mrs. Allen: How he teases us, Catherine! Midnight, indeed!

I was lucky enough to be in the UK the evening this aired on ITV. My British friend and I both sat up to watch and we were both satisfied. Between the two of us, I'm the "Janeite" but she truly enjoyed this adaptation as well. It's important to remember that Jane Austen's books will always outshine the movie adaptations. It's impossible to do full justice to her writing. Northanger Abbey has always been a secret favorite - I realize it's not as "serious" as the other 5 books, but I must admit I've got a real fondness for Henry Tilney. JJ Field fills the role perfectly and stands out as the star in my opinion. Felicity Jones is also very good as Catherine. The supporting actors are exceptional - and I agree with others that it's a shame we don't see more of William Beck as John Thorpe, absolutely brilliant casting! I'm looking forward to all three adaptations coming to the states - and I'd encourage anyone to try this version of Northanger Abbey out!
