Added DiffLines:

* When Thomas is seriously ill and Fanny returns, at Edmund's request, to look after him, Sir Thomas' reaction on seeing her (he sent her away in the first place) is relief that she's back, because there have been "too many estrangements". Then he remembers his eldest son's childhood habit of asking to be given a mission, so Sir Thomas would give him some minor errand to do, but young Thomas would say no and ask for a ''noble'' mission. It's his recognition that he has spent his own life doing something shameful, and that his son is the better man.

Added DiffLines:

* Sir Thomas is mostly stern and rather unsympathetic in the film, but when Maria talks to him about her impending marriage to Mr Rushworth and admits that she knows her father thinks he's an idiot, Sir Thomas doesn't hesitate to tell her that if she has any reservations about the marriage, then she needn't worry: he'll break it off and make sure everything is okay. He's paternalistic and sexist and he has a distinct double standard when it comes to Fanny's chances of marriage, but he sincerely wants his daughters to be happy.


Added DiffLines:

* At the end, Sir Thomas gets rid of his business interests (i.e. his slave plantation) in Antigua and he's walking with his wife in the garden. She looks cheerful and fond of him, and is more lively than she's been for the entire film, much of which she has spent in a laudanum-induced daze.

* William Price is full of grandiose plans for his advancement in the Navy (which are not merciful to any lieutenants more senior than himself), the adventures he'll have, and the prizes he'll win.

* In the 1983 miniseries, when Fanny is invited to dinner at the Parsonage. Just after Mrs Norris has delivered yet another lengthy TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Fanny and told her that she'll have to go there on foot, Sir Thomas walks into the room and casually asks when would be convenient for the carriage to come round. When Mrs Norris protests, he states flatly that no niece of his is going to walk to a dinner engagement. In the next scene, Fanny is riding in the carriage with Edmund, with the biggest, happiest smile on her face that she's worn in the series to that point.
