These were two lovely and romantic period movies. They were both beautiful and interesting, but the stories were quite different and they seemed like a strange combination.

I preferred Mansfield Park because the pace was faster and the story played out nice and smoothly. The cast were funny and well suited, especially Frances O'Connor as Fanny Price.

A Room with a View, however, was much slower and I didn't really see the love attraction between the main characters. Just because they are in Italy and have spent a few afternoons together does not mean they have fallen in love. In this way, the love story wasn't developed very convincingly.

Overall, the movies were both really good and this DVD pack (bought from Fishpond) came in excellent condition within just a few days.

The double dvd version of the two period classic pieces, Room with a view and Mansfield Park place seems like a normal match to combine but they are really different stories in the end. Both movies are very well done, with the time periods correctly portrayed and good acting, however, both convey a different feeling. Good value for the two movies though

A Room with a View possesses a fabulous cast, beautiful cinematography, an awesome adapted script, and a tale of oppressed desire during the paradigm shift from the repressive Victorian age to the more liberal Edwardian time. The film moves at a deliberate pace of country strolls and carriage rides filling the viewer with literary awakenings and music compositions. Poppies, barley, and Florence architecture decorate the screen.

The film is witty if anything with carefree individuals roaming about with leisure on their minds. Pure love and desire aches throughout and Italy is the place to bring the lovers together.

It is a handsome picture. Detailed period pieces and costumes. The cast is phenomenal! Helena Bohnam Carter portrays the peevish Lucy Honeychurch on her way to becoming her prudish Cousin and chaperone, Charlotte Bartlett (The Great Maggie Smith.) However The spirit of Italy will prevent such an occurrence and fill Miss Honeychurch with pure desire for George, the man who was brought up from the evils and hate of the world.

The adaptation is superb. Fun. It is a film to live in and swim in the sacred lake. One of the best films of the 80's. Terrific!

great shmoies. great premise. great storylines. very compeling viewing. i reccomend to all. definatley go out and get this and watch it or even better, just buy it!!! i totally think that you should wath this. you will def enjoy it. you will nto regret it! both of the movies rock!

This is an odd double despite the period settings. Room With A View is one of the best of the Merchant Ivory films a lush and stylish period romance filled with repression and its repercussions. Mansfield park on the other hand is a tired adaptation of a Jane Austen story but with no charm or tension.
