I picked up the DVDs for the first two “Anne of Green Gables” series after seeing the musical version of the narrative in Charlottetown. I lucked out because the DVDs have been out less than a month. The proper film, of course, is worth 5 stars all by itself and is a classic adaptation of a beloved current, so what I want to talk about is why Anne’s fans should capture up the DVD version as well. There are cast bios, previews of the other “Anne” works by Sullivan films, and some production stills.

However, the chief charms of the DVD version are the following: First, there is Megan Follows’ audition for the section of Anne, which is tantalizing to behold her first attempts at nailing the character of Anne Shirley. You will discover considerably changes in her precise performance, but the raw talent is amply displayed. Second, there are missing scenes, most of which have to do with the wife of Reverend Allen. It seems the production was co-produced by a German company and so there was this extended subplot with Mrs. Allen, played by a German actress, that was fully integrated into the Germany version of “Anne of Green Gables.” Third, there is Directors Commentary from Kevin Sullivan and the film’s editor, although the latter is there mainly to given the director someone to talk to during the almost four hour film. The commentary is certainly absorbing, as we fetch out where positive scenes were short (mostly around Toronto, but some on Prince Edward Island), when scenes were shot (Megan would have to play Anne at 16 in the morning and 12 in the afternoon), as well as titanic stories about Colleen Dewhurst leaving a scene about to explode in laughter or adding a line.

However, for all these bewitching tidbits about the production you will catch yourself surprised from time to time that Kevin Sullivan often does not have a clue about the account of Anne and why it works. He expresses surprise, for example, that audiences pick up the scene where Anne thanks Matthew for the dress with puffed sleeves to be so emotional. Sheesh. She is looking at him with absolute esteem and devotion in her eyes and he says, “Don’t you like it.” Of course it gets to you. But not Sullivan apparently. Calm, the commentary is first rate and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it and using it to track down sites I intend to visit later this week in Toronto (I am going to earn THE BRIDGE!) . Finally, there are some behinds the scenes clips. Warning, this was a television news tale on the production and is not the qualified tedious the scenes documentary that aired on PBS. Obviously, my only complaint with this DVD is going to be the exclusion of that documentary, which, I supposed, belonged to PBS and not Sullivan productions. So, I know that most of you reading this not only already have “Anne of Green Gables” on videotape, you have had it for a long time. I am honest here to train you that picking up the DVD version as well is worth the additional expenditure.

This fresh video “Anne of Green Gables” and its sequel, “Anne of Avonlea” faithfully grasp the delectable and bewitching stories of the series of “Anne of Green Gables” books. The videos are favorites of me and my daughters — perfect for rainy weekends or days they discontinue home from school due to illness. I am saddened to peer that the recent is out-of-print and support the studio to re-release it. (Perhaps if query is high enough, they will!)

Unfortunately, we recently tuned into the current PBS production of “Anne: The Continuing Tales.” This was a monumental disappointment that I can only liken to “The Godfather Piece III.” Although the Anne stories written by Lucy Maud Montgomery continue through her marriage, career and children, the producers of this movie discarded any relationship to the charming unique stories or the memorable current characters. They merely borrowed the names of the characters and then created a highly amazing scenario that bore no hint of continuity between the fiercely independent, fiery, patriotic, and highly honest Anne, her bosom buddy Diana, or her sweetheart Gilbert. Throw in a baby who cries throughout the entire video, some wonderful WWI scenarios and politically legal but anachronistic “anti-war” sentiments, and you extinguish up with a spoiled mess.

If you loved the modern books or videos, Discontinue FAR AWAY from “The Continuing Narrative” so that you don’t taint your fond memories. And if you haven’t already seen the videos of “Anne of Green Gables” or “Anne of Avonlea,” then do whatever it takes to observe them as soon as possible. (Don’t wait for a rainy weekend!)
