We meet Alan Rickman as Col. Brandon, who is taken by Marianne (Kate Winslet), performing for her mother, sisters and their hosts (Gemma Jones, Emma Thompson, who also wrote the screenplay, Emile Francoise, Robert Hardy, Elizabeth Spriggs), in Sense And Sensibility, 1995, from the Jane Austen novel.

Director Ang Lee’s graceful opening from star Emma Thompson’s sparkling screenplay, with Tom Wilkinson near death, James Fleet his son, his wife Harriet Walker, and Kate Winslet at the keyboard, as the romantic stepdaughter Marianne, from the hit Jane Austen adaptation Sense And Sensibility, 1995.

Less-practical sister Marianne (Kate Winslet) brings news to mother (Gemma Jones) of an offer to forestall their impending poverty, though both are concerned with elder sister Elinor (Emma Thompson), who has grown attached to their new friend Edward, in Ang Lee’s Sense And Sensibility, 1995.

Screenwriter and star Emma Thompson as soon-to-be-impoverished Elinor, with her mother and sister (Gemma Jones, Kate Winslet) when clever visitor Mr. Farrars (Hugh Grant) devises a temptation for brooding younger sister Margaret (Emile Francoise), in Ang Lee’s Sense And Sensibility, 1995.

Emma Thompson adapted and stars in Jane Austen's classic tale of two sisters with different romantic notions, co-starring Hugh Grant and Kate Winslet.
