When Anne Elliot turned down Captain Wentworth's proposal of marriage, she allowed herself to be "persuaded" by her snobbish family's conviction of his unworthiness. From that time onwards her life has been governed by duty. But now, after a separation of 8 years, Anne Elliot and Captain Wentworth are to meet again and the tables have turned. Her former lover's fortunes have prospered and he is now returned from a career at sea both eligible and affluent. Anne's father, Sir Walter Elliot of Kellynch Hall, has been forced to lease their home and move the family to Bath and a rather smaller abode. What a change of heart the passing of time can bring! For just as Anne now recognizes the false values which persuaded her to reject Captain Wentworth, so she must also accept that this heart now seems set upon the youth and beauty of the impetuous Louisa Musgrove...Originally transmitted in 1971 and starring Ann Firbank and Bryan Marshall, this dramatization of Persuasion conveys all the passions and frustration of Jane Austen's most mature heroine.
