North and South was a class production from beginning to end. The actors (most of whom I did not know) were excellent and well-cast, especially Richard Armitage and Sinead Cusack. The story was engaging, educational, and well-developed. The scenery and props were wonderful! I rate it a 10 out of 10.

This is so wonderfully romantic. I am a huge P&P fan, but Richard Armitage knocked me right off my Darcy obsession...at least for awhile!!! This is my favorite movie of all time. Bar none.

Elizabeth Gaskell who wrote the book in the early 1800s that this movie was created from is an exciting find for fans of Charles Dickens and Jane Austin. She treats all of her characters with humor and compassion, and this movie is a moving adaptation of her work. Beautiful and historically accurate costuming. This movie is a new favorite.
