About An Old Fashioned Thanksgiving
Recently widowed Mary Bassett and her three children have hit difficult times on their farm. Suddenly, Mary’s wealthy and estranged mother Isabella comes to visit upon receiving a devious letter from the eldest daughter. Mary resents her mother’s attempts to help them out of their financial difficulties. In the end, more than money will be needed to heal deep wounds and rampant scarlet fever.
Directed by Graeme Campbell, An Old Fashioned Thanksgiving leans on a strong ensemble — Tatiana Maslany, Kristopher Turner, Vivien Endicott Douglas — 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 tv movie titles of 2008.
