Forced to live on a meagre allowance, Mrs. Dashwood dies, the rules of inheritance determine that his property must pass to his son (James Fleet) and not his second wife (Gemma Jones) or her three daughters. Marianne is the romantic, emotional sister the older Elinor (Emma Thompson) is the sensible one. Brandon might seem like an unusual role for Rickman, since Brandon is one of the possible suitors and love interests of Marianne Dashwood (Kate Winslet), who is one of the two sister protagonists of Sense and Sensibility. (More than the rest of the cast, Rickman’s is the voice I hear when I read Rowlings’ books.) In comparison to those two remarkable villains and the memorable Snape, Col. I’ve long been familiar with Rickman’s two famous villain roles-as the German criminal mastermind Hans Gruber in Die Hard, and, my personal favourite, the outrageously vile Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves-and no one became their character in the Harry Potter series quite like Rickman became the dour Professor Snape. With the recent passing of the immensely capable actor, Alan Rickman, I thought it was high time that I saw him in the role of Colonel Brandon in the famous Jane Austen adaptation, Sense and Sensibility.
