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. Anne’s a dreamer with an unusual point of view, far removed from
Marilla’s pragmatic ways, and it’s only on trial that Marilla agrees to keep
Anne, if Anne can keep out of trouble, only Anne has a positive genius for it.
As Anne falls into a series of scrapes, makes a bosom friend, searches and finds
several kindred spirits, Matthew and Marilla discover that their lives have
become a great deal richer, now that Anne is at Green Gables. The made for TV
movie of “Anne of Green Gables” won several awards including the Emmy for
Outstanding Children’s Program and the Peabody Award for Outstanding
Contribution to Broadcasting.
