Product Description
Set years after her resignation and return from Kingsport Ladies' College Anne is persuaded to join her fiance Gilbert in New York City as he begins his tenure at a major hospital. She is introduced to a publishing firm in the hope of a chance to get published and achieve the same success as Gilbert. Instead both face the disillusioning realities of their professions which makes them decide to return to Avonlea. However any chance of lasting happiness is dashed when Gilbert decides to bow to social pressure and enlist to serve in The Great War in Europe. Anne stays behind and becomes a published writer but learns that contact has been lost with Gilbert. Seeing no other option Anne decides to venture to Europe herself to find him. In doing so she begins an adventure that would challenge her wits and imagination to the limit.System Requirements:Run Time: 240 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating: PG UPC: 622237230427 Manufacturer No: SULDV23042
Outline
In a departure from L.M. Montgomery's book series, this third TV movie jumps ahead to World War I and puts Anne and her beloved Gilbert smack in the middle of it. Instead of marrying Gilbert after her teaching days--as she does in the books--Anne spends a disillusioning year with him in New York City, and then the couple quickly marries before the good doctor ships out to France. (In the book Rilla of Ingleside, Anne's sons go to war and her youngest daughter is separated from her sweetheart.) Impetuous as ever, Anne joins the Red Cross and crosses the pond to track down her husband when his letters are returned unread. What follows is an adventure that takes her through battle zones--where the bodies pile up faster than you can say Saving Private Ryan--and on to London with a half-orphaned baby, her best friend's injured husband, and a tangle of international intrigue. Fans of the 10-book series may balk at the divergences and the fact that very little time is spent on Prince Edward Island. But the book's unrestrained romanticism and unapologetic sentimentality remain intact, as well as the surviving cast of the prior two movies, most notably Megan Follows as Anne and Jonathan Crombie as Gilbert. This movie, produced in 2000, clocks in at 185 minutes and is suitable for ages 9 and older. --Kimberly Heinrichs

 | Yuck! No Stars For You!!! Sep 18, 2007 |
| I grew up on the first two Anne movies and all of LM Montomery's works and this movie just sucked. Big time. Where in the freaking world did they come up with that story line? Ugh. I feel cheated. I want a remake...in fact, let's just start from square one with a filmmaker who cares about getting it right...maybe the folks over at the BBC are up to the challenge??? Anybody??? (echo....echo...) | | |  | Anne of Green Gables Sep 14, 2007 |
| It was sent to me in a timely fashion, as all of this sites products that I have bought have. It was not as good as the other series but worth watching. | | | | Anne of green gables- the continuing story Sep 13, 2007 |
I couldnt buy this local Christchurch NZ
I completely enjoyed this but I seemed to have missed out on the years
from when Gil and Anne found love and the start of the war. | | | | Quite a Disappointment Sep 10, 2007 |
| I LOVE the Anne of Green Gables series, I own Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea on DVD and I cherish them both. I watched The Continuing Story when it first aired on television and I was heart-broken. It strays from the books, and it felt like such a departure from the other two stories. Even the actors reprising their roles didn't quite fit. I was so sad! I wanted to love it as completely as the first two stories, but I kept getting distracted by Anne's now raspy voice, as if she has smoked quite a few more cigarettes than she should, and by Gil's sickly appearance. I really worry for his health and lifestyle! I recommend buying the first two movies in the series without hesitation, but skip The Continuing Story for sure! | | | | Not so good Sep 5, 2007 |
I ordered the 3rd DVD and I got the 1st. So I wasn't too happy
