About this episode
Jane Austen’s first novel became Emma Thompson’s first screenplay, which eventually won her an Academy Award. But when producer Lindsay Doran first pitched ‘Sense and Sensibility’ no one understood her vision - including director Ang Lee. This week Chris and Lizzie venture into a comedy of errors behind the scenes where language barriers, broken hearts, blossoming romances, and some illegal activity on the Sunset Strip threatened to derail this classic film. Find out why Kate Winslet almost didn’t get cast, how Stephen Fry saved the script, and why Ang Lee discovered he had more in common with Jane Austen than he realized. Hosted on Acast.
