WATCH THE MOVIE TRAILER AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS STORY
The 1996 film "Emma," based on Jane Austen's classic novel, starring Gwenyth Paltrow, will be showed at the Ada Public Library, at 2 p.m., Wednesday, April 17.
This movie version follows the story of a young girl In rural 1800s England. Emma thinks she's good at matchmaking, but you can be the judge. True to Austen, much mayhem and humor ensue.
When her governess, Miss Taylor (Greta Scacchi), gets married and goes to live with her new husband, Mr. Weston (James Cosmo), Emma proudly takes credit for having brought the couple together.
Her father and their old family friend George Knightley (Jeremy Northam) dispute her claim and disapprove of her trying to make more matches, but she ignores their warnings and sets her mind on setting up Mr. Elton (Alan Cumming), the minister who performed the Westons' marriage ceremony, with Harriet Smith (Toni Collette), an unsophisticated young woman just entering society.
