* SlidingScaleOfShinyVersusGritty: Very much on the gritty end. They used only enough artificial light to make night-time scenes basically visible, and lit the interiors with candles wherever possible. The characters walk around muddy fields and get dirty and dishevelled. The streets of Bath are liberally covered in horse shit. This was received at the time as a deliberate contrast with the glittering and sumptuous ''Pride and Prejudice'' serial, with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle.

** Very subtly averted in the scene [[spoiler: where Anne and Wentworth finally kiss]]; the circus is passing through and when it and all the onlookers have moved on, there's just Anne and Wentworth walking away in the middle distance, and the street is spotlessly clean.

* VoiceoverLetter: The film does this when Anne is reading Wentworth's fateful letter to her. First it's in his voice, then her voice takes over, then his voice comes in again, with [[ThinkingTheSameThought obvious metaphorical implications]].
