Title: Americanized version of a Swiss story
Review: I was pretty disappointed when I saw this movie. I have read the book, seen quite a few Heidi movies, but this one is not close to the book. The first part is ok, but the second part is totally made up.Chasings, prison, Fr. Rottenmeier is very evil and ( spoiler)tries to sell Heidi, etc.If you look for a Heidi movie that portaits the book, don't get this one. If you want a movie about Shirley Temple, this one is fine then. Being from Germany, this one dissapointed me. My favorite Heidi movie is the 1956 w/ Elsbeth Sigmund. It has a few changes from the book, but in generell is close to it and also gives you a feel of the time and place where Heidi would have lived.
Is the review positive or negative?
