Product Description

Product description

Well-loved TV adaptation of Frances Hodgson Burnett's novel.

Amazon.com

Mary Lennox (Gennie James) is a spoiled young British girl orphaned by an Indian epidemic. She is sent to Misselthwaite Manor in Yorkshire to live with a distant relative, Archibald Craven (Derek Jacobi), and there she becomes obsessed with a secret, overgrown garden. With the help of a local boy, Dickon, the garden and everyone around them--including Craven and his frail son, Colin--come to life again. Filmed on location at scenic Highclere Castle in Newbury, this Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation of Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic won an Emmy for Outstanding Children's Program. Although it can't top the 1949 version with Margaret O'Brien (or Agnieszka Holland's 1993 version), younger viewers may prefer this more straightforward retelling, whereas adults are sure to appreciate the fine performances by Jacobi and Billie Whitelaw (Mrs. Medlock). Colin Firth (Bridget Jones's Diary) appears briefly as the adult Colin in this timeless, uplifting story for all ages. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Love this movie

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 20, 2023

I've been wanting this movie for a long time. When it first came out mom recorded it for my sister and I. We watched it all the time. I was a little worried I wouldn't like it as much but I was wrong. I just got and I've already seen it twice.

Very excellent adaptation of the classic

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 6, 2022

Verified Purchase

Originally, I was captivated by the Maberly/Agnieszka version of this film. Forced to rate one over the other, I couldn't do it. Both are excellent. My greatest peave was in the denoument of this one. Despite a very rare slightly mechanical performance by Miss James, the movie/story remains supremely enjoyable. I have had so many joyful chuckles over some of Miss James' character's irrascible, and powerfully driven responses. "I'll put a SNAKE in their millet!" I deeply and thoroughly enjoy strong-willed but well-bahaved kids. This young lady's character is an absolute classic! Aside from her natural loveliness, Miss James knows what she's doing!!! The musc/soundtrack in this version is truly beautiful, supremely tasteful. The settings somehow, seem slightly more accurate, for some reason in this version. but, again, Agnieszka's scenes are breathtaking. This one somehow just seems to 'put you there' with some immediacy in THAT time.

There is an interesting (and unfortunate!) conflict between this version, the novel, and the Kate Mabry story by Agneiszka Holland. It is a question easily resolved by reading the original novel. This version of the story fails to remain true to the original plot/story. In the original story Mary, and Colin are clearly stated to be first cousins. In the Mabry/Holland version, that point is expressly made. Yet in this version, there is no mention of a such a relationship, and that error creates a truly badly written, artificial, and uncomfortably phony conclusion to the story.

Otherwise ... five stars !!!

As to "Miss Mary" .... Genny James' "Miss Mary" is superbly delightful. I can't watch the film without breaking into hard laughter over her "recalcitrant", "vixen" portrayals of a defiant, resilient, head-strong, independent, proud, precocious ... and very delightful young lady. She could level a skyscraper with her defiant glares! Very enjoyable performance.

The DVD arrived in store-bought condition ... totally perfect!! As brand new ... no scratches ... no damage, no skips etc. I did purchase a "used, like new" disc, for a few bucks more .... but the disc came as advertised ... like new.

Finally, I have NO idea how the heck the writers/screen personnel expected to get by all the scripted referrals of "Miss Mary" as "plain" .. not pretty etc. It's a certain contradiction to reality!! .

Closest to the book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 2, 2022

Verified Purchase

The casting of Mary Lennox is spot on. While this was clearly made in the 80s, it is very true to the book. The setting on the English Moore, the Craven household, the cast of characters, all are spot on. They do take a bit of liberty at the end of the movie, no spoilers here, but I still highly recommend this movie as one of my favorite renditions of the classic novel the secret garden.

Pleasant adaptation

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 16, 2014

Verified Purchase

Pleasant enough version of the classic story of a little girl who brings life back to a moribund father and son, expressed symbolically in the form of the neglected garden. 'Jane Eyre' provided author Burnett with the template for her story, with Colin taking the place of the mad wife locked in the attic and so on.

There are two main changes: A clumsy bit of exposition tries to account for why Mary is staying with a family friend rather than a relative (her uncle in the original story), so that Mary and Colin can marry at the end of the film in a completely unnecessary attempt at infusing the story with an adult romance, and Mary is evidently from Texas, judging from her accent, a detail I don't recall from the book.

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on August 20, 2016

Verified Purchase

This a wonderful movie. It is the only movie version of the secret garden I've ever seen but I still enjoy watching it very much. Two comments I would like to make about the film are as follows. I have always wished the amazing score for the film which was composed by John Cameron had been released on CD. I would snatch it up in a heartbeat. The other thing I would like to point out is that the castle that was used as Missalthwaite(I'm not sure how you spell that)Manor is the same castle that is used in the TV show Downton Abbey which is also totally amazing for those of you that are interested. It's actual name is Highclere Castle. If you watch them both it's cool to notice the same parts of Highclere Castle(both inside and outside) in both shows.

My favourite version of this film

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on January 25, 2019

Verified Purchase

There are many versions of this film that have been made over the years but this is my favourite one. It was a made-for-TV movie that was actually filmed at Highclere Castle (where Downtown Abbey was filmed). Its got the British feel to it and had just enough creepy and suspenseful moments, to make it entertaining. I liked that it had that darker feel that TV movies had in the 1980's and 90's, instead of the light, fluffy and ridiculousness that have now.

The vender notified me that it was being held up at the boarder for up to 16 days and this was approximately how long beyond the estimated arrival date that it took to arrive. The article when it did arrive was in good condition and was exactly as described.
