Set in 1919, a spinster and her middle-aged brother agree to adopt a boy from a faraway orphanage to help with their farmwork, but the Cuthberts unexpectedly find themselves instead caring for 14-year-old Anne, "Carrot Top." Under their care Anne attends school, matures, and attracts the attention of handsome Tom Brown. Decent B-level production, the pacing rushed in the second half.

Review by anonymous (posted on 24-Jun-2005)

If you are a true "kindred spirit" you can't help but love this old show. In some places it is a bit different from the books and characters differ from the later movie starring Megan Follows. All actors in the movie are charming with the exception of the Marilla character. I didn't think she fit the role at all. If you enjoy the books or the later version starring Megan Follows, you will enjoy this movie. Just be ready for a few characters to be a little different.(For instance they combined Mrs. Lynde and Mrs. Barry) I give it a thumbs up for a classic movie!
