Anne of Green Gables is first-rate family fare, suitable for young children and adults alike. This film brims with humor and affection, yet there is nothing to offend even the most delicate of sensibilities in the tasteful presentation. It is a timeless story of the young orphan girl who comes "by mistake" to a stern Canadian spinster and her tender-hearted bachelor brother. Anne brings an infusion of vibrant life to their quiet existence with her enthusiasm and rich imagination, which often lands her in difficult, if amusing, situations. Set in the late eighteen hundreds, it is a rich depiction of country and small-town life which is not without its trials and little mishaps. This is a triumph of film-making, a story well told and beautifully presented. A favorite from the first time we saw it, this movie has retained its delightful aspect of gentle and touching drama throughout the years. I never tire of watching this terrific film.
