...Introduction
I've had this film on my shelf for a few years now and much as I love Hitchcock films, have always been put off by the title - somehow it seems very staid and uninteresting. I couldn't have been more wrong. Those are the last adjectives that should be used to describe this film. Made in 1940 not long after Hitchcock had moved to Hollywood, his second American film, it was nominated for 6 Oscars.
The director
AlfredHitchcock, AKA the Master of Suspense, was born in the East End of London and started his film career as a title writer in London. He began his directing career when one of the directors from the film studio for which he worked fell ill and Hitchcock was asked to take over. By 1940, he had moved to Hollywood, where he made his most famous films, including Psycho. His last film before his death was family...

Advantages: Well acted, Great Book Adaptation Storylines, Fun for All Ages Disadvantages: Each Movie is About Three Hours Long
...be ignored by the overall storyline.
I was slightly disapointed by this third story since it really didn't go by the books my L.M Montgomery at all. The first two movies are at least based on her books , but this movie was almost entirely made up. I was hoping the third movie would follow the other books about Anne as she is grown up with Children.
Still, the movie was well made and entertaining. It was good to see the actors again, and the costumes anad attention to detail from the World War I era are fantastic. It's not as good as the first two movies, but well worth a watch.
******Conclusion*****
All these movies in the BoxSet; Anne of Green Gables, The Sequel , and The Continuing Story, are so much fun. Children around the age of 7 and up will enjoy the first one. While children more around the age of 10 and up would...

Advantages: loads of bonus features Disadvantages: none
...This is the king of all boxsets, its amazing. It has all of the matrix films plus loads of special features. Its not really for anyone who hasnt seen any matrix films yet but if your a fan its totally worth buying. Its great value for money as aswell as getting all the films you get 35 hours of special features. Overall its one of the best boxsets I have ever come across and would recomend it to anyone. Its for anyone 15 years and older and inside there are 10 discs including films and special features. In my opinion this is quite cheap as I got it for much more so I would advise anyone to get it here. I would give it 10/10....
