Anne of Windy Poplars (1940)

Member Rating:

This sequel to 1934's Anne of Green Gables stars Anne Shirley as Anne Shirley, the plucky Canadian orphan girl created by novelist Lucy Maude Montgomery. Now all grown up, Anne takes on the job of vice-principal of the only school in Windy Poplars Unfortunately, she must contend with the opposition of the community's most powerful and contentious family, the much-hated Pringles. Helping matters a bit is the fact that handsome Tony Pringle (James Ellison) falls in love with Anne. It takes a near-tragedy to wash away all misunderstandings, prejudices and hypocricies and restore happiness and stability to the community. Based on L. M. Montgomery's novel Anne of Windy Willows, Anne of Windy Poplars was remade for Canadian television in 1985. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

I just loved seeing Anne of Green Gables 1934 and 1985 version. It is a cute story! L.M. Montgomery was an award winning author with international acclaim! Her beloved Prince Edward Island is a splendid place to visit! I would love to see this movie on DVD and available at Blockbuster! I haven't had any luck locating the movie or even have the opportunity to purchase it! I do have the 1985 version and I saw the 1934 version on TV some years back. This sequel is a good story and it is worth watching if it ever comes available on DVD and Video! Help us to be able to see this, Blockbuster!!! Thanks!
