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

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!! .

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.
