content: There is nothing---and I mean truly NOTHING---in common between the "Anne books" and this movie! It's quite horrible in every way. I wish I could give it negative stars! Yes, the second mini-series of this trilogy takes frequent license, but it retains enough episodes and character of the book to be quite enjoyable in it's own way. THIS little "thing" simply keeps a few character names, retains several original actors, and truly and completely makes up a story out of whole cloth. If they were in such an itch to make a WWI "Anne," they could (and should) have made 'Rilla. But they made this atrocity instead. If you have ANY respect for the book, please just forget this movie exists. Hideous!
