I was very disappointed with last night's Mansfield Park. I think Billie was very miscast. As you say, Fanny is supposed to be plainer, but with that smile and the heaving bosum (why was she in corsets?) she dominated instead. The screenplay felt very rushed, and they seemed to have managed to tone down the few episodes of actual drama in the book to make the whole thing very bland. And there's the problem that Fanny never actually *does* anything, except be stoic and constant, and finally her man sees sense.
