Julie, the region 1 disc does not have such scenes either, so the question was whether the scenes were filmed and put on the region 2 disc but left off of the region 1 disc.

But the region 1 disc does have this scene? All I have is the region 2 and I haven’t watched it recently.

Region 2 does not include those scenes. I believe the director says on the bonus that they filmed the Brandon talks to Elinor scene, but they didn’t include it because of time.

I really appreciate you have verified the information. Like Franka, I suspected that the person was mixing adaptations. As I only own the region 1 DVD, I could only check that and the videos uploaded to a certain site when it was shown in UK, in neither of those the scenes abovementioned appeared. Thanks a lot

No, I cannot find those scenes in my (region 2) copy either. Now having been obliged to review this movie once more, it has become more obvious to me just how cheesy this movie is. I have no further intention of putting on the region 1 version just to make a side-by-side comparison—just can’t bear to see any more of it. I think I shall go and reread the book instead, to get rid of this unpleasant taste in my palate… and, more importantly, to celebrate this day, the death anniversary of our dearest Jane.

Hi, I own the Region 2 Sense & Sensibility from 2008, and I just checked it: neither of these scenes are on it…I did notice the lack of a Colonel Brandon scene where he asks Elinor to extend the offer of the living to Edward when I first watched it: it’s just not in the film (at least not the Region 2 DVD version)…thanks!

I do remember those scenes from other adaptations, but not from the most recent one. Maybe this person is mixing the adaptations up? When I have more time I’ll check my DVD (region 2) out, if someone else hasn’t done that already by then.
