	" based on Jane Austen's novelWhen:  01/18/09 @ 1:30pmCall:  264-6445E
	mail:  Karen.Kron@wisconsinhistory.orgMore Information: The fifth year
	 of the popular Classic Book and Movie Club features a lineup of three
	 motion pictures adapted from classic novels by British author Jane Au
	sten.  Persuasion (1995) Persuasion is the story of a love that surviv
	es eight years of dormancy and the frustrating obstacles of class prej
	udice in 19th-century England. Anne (Amanda Root) is captivated when s
	he meets the dignified naval officer Capt. Wentworth (Ciaran Hinds)\, 
	but she is advised to discourage his romantic overtures because he has
	 no fortune. They meet again eight years later\, but now Capt. Wentwor
	th has become wealthy while Anne's father is in reduced circumstances 
	in the wake of reckless extravagance. A series of circumstances ensues
	 that prevent Anne and Wentworth from expressing their mutual and inev
	itable love. The film's success depends entirely on the subtle\, super
	b performances of Root and Hinds. The film builds slowly\, occasionall
	y leaving you wondering if anything at all is going to happen. When it
	 does\, you realize how carefully crafted a film this is\, and the fin
	al result is grandly rewarding. Cast: Amanda Root\, Ciaran Hinds\, Sus
	an Fleetwood\, Corin Redgrave\, Fiona Shaw Director: Roger Mitchell Ru
