    I love this movie, it was very true to the book and you don't get a much better cast than Dewhurst and Farnsworth together. Love it. Its a little long,but worth it.

    I haven't read the book. I saw this on TV once - and I loved it! I love those Rag to Riches stories and this is one of them, and it told with such sincerity. the storytelling really is superb. You love these characters because as they each develop and relationships grow, they bec...( read more)ome really likeable. Some of the dialogue here is very clever, especially with Anne. She's is the most interesting character of the movie - I love her character because of the way she does things, like how she loves literature and she's very poetic. I liked the way the movie paces itself.
    I can't wait to see the sequels, because this one is a terrific film. It's got great acting and terrific characters. It's a delight to see.

    Best movie ever!
    I have literally wished that I could be Anne and live this movie/book.

    It was a childhood favorite of mine and I still watch it to this day. It's dramatic and romantic and just absolutely perfect.

    Also, Jonathan Crombie is the perfect eye candy. I love t...( read more)his movie.
