About Anne of Green Gables
At the turn of the century on Prince Edward Island, Matthew Cuthbert and his sister Marilla decide to take on an orphan boy as help for their farm. But they get an unexpected jolt when they're mistakenly sent a girl instead: Anne Shirley.
Directed by Kevin Sullivan, Anne of Green Gables leans on a strong ensemble — Megan Follows, Colleen Dewhurst, Richard Farnsworth — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about family titles of 1985.
