Set in Kentucky during the slavery days of the Old South, this adaptation of the novel by Harriet Beecher Stowe tells of the workings of the underground railroad, a secretive system formed by whites and blacks which allowed slaves to escape into the northern states. This drama, directed in Yugoslavia by Hungarian Geza Radvanyi, tends to stray from the original story and contains many contradictions to historical fact. ~ Kristie Hassen, All Movie Guide

German director Werner Jacobs 1965 drama Heidi stars Eva Maria Singhammer in the title role of a young girl who happily resides in a quaint mountain chalet with her kindly grandfather (Gustav Knuth). When Heidi is taken by her aunt to live in Frankfort and help Klara (Gertraude Mittermayr), a wealthy man's crippled daughter, she finds herself under the constant watchful eye of a cold and aloof governess and grows to miss her grandfather terribly. Fortunately, as Heidi works to raise Klara's spirits, the two form a strong bond with one another. Adapted from the novel by Johanna Spyri, this is just one of countless filmed versions of the tale. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide
