Movie of the week

not actually a film, but a Canadian miniseries based on the classic book Anne of Green Gables.


.............

alas part two is not posted: but watch it now before the copyright cops find it.

there were three miniseries on the books, plus a miniseries about Tales of Avonlea, based on other books and short stories about this area.

The first two were wonderful, but the third one was loosely based on later stories and the book about Rilla: the script was awkward and miscast since Anne would have been too old for the plot.....

Ironically, my sons loved the series: They were adopted as older children and could identify with Anne's mistakes and adjustment problems in her new home.
