I have to say that this is one sequel that is just as terrific, if not
more
so, than the original! Megan Follows, Colleen Dewhurst and Jonathan
Crombie
are excellent again as Anne, Marilla, and Gilbert. The entire supporting
cast is wonderful as well. The story is so romantic, exciting, and
absorbing, and the scenery and costumes are breathtaking. There are plenty

If one was to turn on David Lynch's The Elephant Man midway through,
without knowing what it was, one might be startled at the appearance of
the main character. One might even be tempted to make fun of the

portrayed by Paul Scofield) struggles to be true to both his faith and
his monarch (the lusty and hearty King Henry VIII superbly played by

filmed. He had seen movies by other famous writers and dramatists
thoroughly rewritten for the screen, and thoroughly wrecked as a
result. So the greatest English speaking dramatist of the 20th Century
held off from any involvement with motion pictures into the 1930s. Then
he met Gabriel Pascal. Mr. Pascal was th...
