Very nice VHS copy of "Emma", starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Ewan McGregor. Minor wear on sleeve. Guaranteed working order.

A kind-hearted young lady attempts to play matchmaker for all her single friends. She's not very good at it. All she manages to do is make a hilariously tangled mess of everyone's lives.

Color(1997). 121 Min. Rated PG.

First Class Shipping. I will always combine shipping, whenever possible.
