The bringing of Jane Austen's 'Sense and Sensibility' to the screen has been a labour of love.Vividly described by the producer,Lindsay Doran,in her introduction,the process has taken 15 years to come to fruition.In Emma Thompson,Doran found her ideal scriptwriter,since Emma Thompson already had a lifelong passion for the novels of Jane Austen and a natural gift for writing.With characteristic rigour and determination,she set about the job,acting in many films and picking up an Academy Award en route.The script took her 5 years to complete.It is unusual for an actress to write a screenplay.It is even more unusual that she should also publish a detailed domestic account of the making of the film in which she also played a leading role.Emma Thompson's diaries answer the questions everyone always asks about film-making,and provide a clear and
often hilarious picture of what it is really like to be part of a film crew living the kind of intense communal life found on board large sailing ships,and yet just as subject to weather,digestive tracts and moods.This rare perspective, together with sumptuous photographs in both colour and black-and-white by Clive Coote,make this an irresistible book for all those interested in movies and the making of a great film.Author's 1st book.
