Product Description:

Amazon.com essential video:
Filmed before (and quite nicely) in 1949, Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic children's story was remade for this admirable 1993 release, executive produced by Francis Ford Coppola and directed by acclaimed Polish filmmaker Agnieszka Holland. Splendidly adapted by Edward Scissorhands screenwriter Caroline Thompson, the film opens in India during the early 1900s, when young Mary Lennox (Kate Maberly) is orphaned and sent to England to live in Misselthwaite Manor, the gloomy estate of her brooding and melancholy uncle, Lord Craven (John Lynch). Because the uncle is almost always away on travels, struggling to forget the death of his beloved wife, Mary is left mostly alone to explore the estate. Eventually she befriends the young brother of a staff maid and Lord Craven's apparently crippled son, who has been needlessly bedridden for years. Together the three children restore a neglected garden on the estate grounds, and in doing so they set the stage for a moving reaffirmation of life and love. Filmed with graceful style and careful attention to the intelligence and cleverness of young children, The Secret Garden is that rarest breed of family film that transcends its own generic category, encouraging a sense of wonder and optimism to become a rewarding experience for viewers of any age. --Jeff Shannon

I have loved this movie since I was a little girl and bought it simply to remind me of childhood. Watching it as an adult has still been a great experience, I think it's a wonderful movie.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Nice family film
This was a nice family film. My kids (9) and (12) enjoyed it. Suitable for all ages. It followed the book well.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Alfred Hitchcock's "The Spooky Garden"
As a child I had read Frances Hodgsen Burnett's book, "The Secret Garden" and watched the BBC production of the same title. I immensely enjoyed both the book and the television production. I was surprised when another movie version was released in 1993. Out of curiosity I purchased the movie when it was released on home video as the BBC production was unavailable for purchase at the time. To be honest this version could have been produced by Alfred Hitchcock and titled "The Spooky Garden." The movie ... Read More
