ANYONE IN IT WE KNOW?

Megan Follows, Colleen Dewhurst, Richard Farnsworth 

THE LOWDOWN 

Megan Follows, Tony Award winner Colleen Dewhurst (A Moon for the Misbegotten, Annie Hall) and Academy Award nominee Richard Farnsworth (Comes A Horseman, The Grey Fox, The Natural) give unparalled performances in this critically acclaimed motion picture based on the international best-selling novel. 

Filmed amidst the spectacular scenery of Prince Edward Island, Canada, this award-winning movie follows the enchanting life of orphan Anne Shirley (Follows), from her struggles as an adolescent to her triumphs as a young woman.

THE VERDICT

One of the all time great mini-series, Anne of Green Gables is the best kind of feel good release, perfect for a rainy Sunday afternoon, the role of Anne Shirley has always had a peculiar effect on the lives of those who have played her, the first Hollywood version saw the leading lady actually change her name to Anne Shirley and Megan Follows became so identified with her role as Anne that she found it difficult to find other work. 

It's more than just the engaging story though the production design and wonderful playing adds up to quality viewing and hold up incredibly well despite being over 20 years old now.

 

Lets hope MRA quickly bring us the other entries in this enchanting series. A must for fans.
