Product: Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story
Rating: 3.0
Not "Great"
I finally got around to watching this. Sadly, I have to agree with most of the other reviews on here. The content of the film is quite dreary and depressing . . . . and not to mention lacking in ORIGINALITY. If anyone has ever seen the 1977 film "Julia" with Jane Fonda, Vanessa Redgrave, Jason Robards, and Maximillian Schell, they would see quite a few similarities in the storyline. Almost every scene dealing with the underground war effort in Europe is almost identical to those in "Julia." Anne's relationship with Garrison is almost a mirror image of what was portrayed between Lilian Hellman and Julia. Anne's perky and vibrant personality seems to be lost in this film, even without the distressing war scenes. Although I found it interesting enough to watch, I doubt whether It'll be one of those "favorites" that I watch once per year.
