A box set of adaptations of classic novels. 'Sense and Sensibility' (1995) is an adaptation of the Jane Austen novel. Emma Thompson plays Elinor, the eldest of sisters who are reduced in means when their father dies and his estate passes on to his son from his first marriage. They are soon accepted into their new society, each finding romance, but with some pain along the way. In 'The Remains of the Day' (1993) Stevens (Anthony Hopkins) is the perfect English butler, a man who has spent the best part of his working life in service at Darlington Hall. Housekeeper Miss Kenton (Thompson, again) also works at Darlington, and as the days pass, she and Stevens develop a close feeling for each other. Meanwhile, as the Second World War approaches, Lord Darlington (James Fox)'s wish to avert catastrophe leads him to become involved with the Nazis. Finally, 'Little Women' (1994) is a 1990s updating of the classic Louisa May Alcott novel that follows the lives of Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy; four sisters left at home with their mother during the war. Hardships abound but the girls always retain hope and their strong family loyalty as each grows in her own way into a 'little woman'.
