The pureness of C. Morland's family ties though not elaborated too much in this adaptation is still left to enjoyed and reflected upon by the imagination. Also, what the previous reviewer see as 'shallow fantasizing' can equate to one having a vivid imagination in a time when only reading and the piano forte could be enjoyed. Rejection of this adaptation is like rejecting Austen's original Northanger Abbey! One can only deduce that prior to watching the movie, they and their family should have been aware of Austen's content of this particular novel...it is after all her darkest.
Lastly, I'd rather watch this adaptation of Northanger Abbey than watch any of the CURRENT 'moral trash' with graphic violence, promiscuous beings with no shame, desensitized moral standards allowed to play in theatres for all impressionable eyes to see. These Jane Austen Classic, one and all, should be played on the local theatres to delight the imagination of the masses.
4 stars instead of 5 -- it ended too soon.

Enjoyed this version of Austen's story of the young Cathy and the odd friends she makes on her first trip. The Thorps are creepy, the General fearsome and our hero is well played. Must have!

This is the best movie version of Northanger Abbey. The stroy is spot on and the characters are lovely.
Comments about PBS Masterpiece: Northanger Abbey DVD:
I would like to travel in Jane Austen mind, if that would ever be possible. I so enjoy any thing that she writes about. She must dream true.
