This gorgeous adaptation of Lucy Maud Montgomery's classic children's story is well worth watching with the whole family. Produced for Canadian television, it's one of those rare productions that actually sticks to the book and even enhances it through first-rate performances and an excellent script. Set on bucolic Prince Edward Island in the late 19th century, Anne of Green Gables is the story of Anne Shirley, an imaginative and headstrong orphan. When brother and sister Marilla and Mathew Cuthbert decide to adopt an orphan boy to help Matthew work the farm, they are astonished when Anne arrives at the train station by mistake. "What use is she to us?" grumbles the gruff Marilla. "We might be of some use to her," answers Matthew, who has taken an instant liking to the talkative Anne. As Anne grows up, her adventures are both hilarious and moving. It's a delight to watch as she forms a friendship with the beautiful Diana and her admirer--the dashing Gilbert Blythe--then dyes her hair green, cracks a slate over Gilbert's head when he calls her "Carrots," and finds a sympathetic teacher who encourages her to attend college. Richard Farnsworth is perfect as the shy and gentle bachelor Matthew, who confides to Anne that he never went courting because "I would have had to say something." Colleen Dewhurst delivers a nuanced and powerful performance as Marilla, a seemingly cold-hearted spinster whose no-nonsense exterior conceals a warm heart. And as Anne, Megan Follows strikes the perfect note, maturing from freckle-faced orphan to elegant and poised young woman. --Elisabeth Keating |

A classic! |
|
I used to watch this on our PBS affiliate, and I've always thought of it as the Canadian answer to those wonderful BBC programs PBS brings us, such as Upstairs Downstairs, Duchess of Duke Street, the Edwardians, and the Masterpiece Theater specials. It certainly is of that caliber. The performances are excellent and well-cast. Anne is a very relatible character whom you root for from beginning to end. |

Un classique de la littérature canadienne au petit écran |
|
Nulle doute que Lucy Maud Montgomery aurait été très fière de cette adaptation télévisuelle de son roman. Megan Follows, qui à l'époque du tournage n'avait que 16 ans, est tout simplement surprenante. Une très belle série qui ne se démode pas. |

Anne of Green Gables is one of the best loved stories set in historical Canada. Anne is such a vibrant character and you can't help but feel connected with her trials and flights of fancy. Set in beautiful Prince Edward Island, we are drawn into a bygone era where life was simple and unfettered by today's fast paced life. I recommend this movie to anyone, young or old. |
