Product Details

Filmed before (and quite nicely) in 1949, Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic children's story was remade for this admirable 1993 release, executive produced by Francis Ford Coppola and directed by acclaimed Polish filmmaker Agnieszka Holland. Splendidly adapted by Edward Scissorhands screenwriter Caroline Thompson, the film opens in India during the early 1900s, when young Mary Lennox (Kate Maberly) is orphaned and sent to England to live in Misselthwaite Manor, the gloomy estate of her brooding and melancholy uncle, Lord Craven (John Lynch). Because the uncle is almost always away on travels, struggling to forget the death of his beloved wife, Mary is left mostly alone to explore the estate. Eventually she befriends the young brother of a staff maid and Lord Craven's apparently crippled son, who has been needlessly bedridden for years. Together the three children restore a neglected garden on the estate grounds, and in doing so they set the stage for a moving reaffirmation of life and love. Filmed with graceful style and careful attention to the intelligence and cleverness of young children, The Secret Garden is that rarest breed of family film that transcends its own generic category, encouraging a sense of wonder and optimism to become a rewarding experience for viewers of any age. --Jeff Shannon

Product Reviews

(5 stars) - beautiful childhood film
I've watched this video since it was on VHS and that was all that I knew, and besides it's poor quality and remembering where it had always skipped, the DVD quality was crisp and clean, and was much better, and it never dies! (unless you like running it over or playing hockey with it[scratch, scratch, shatter, shatter) A very enjoyable film, will watch again and again!

(3 stars) - The Secret Garden
I was over charged for shipping I paid for an overnight delivery but it took over 7 days to get to my location. I want not able to use the video as a result. I will probably never use or recommend your service again. They is no direct phone contact so that problems can be solved. I send an e-mail requesing a phone call and it never happen.

(5 stars) - No Secret That I Love It
I've watched this movie more times than I can count. The only thing that baffled me was: If this kid was supposed to be so sick, why wasn't there a doctor in the house? However, it doesn't matter. Great movie for the entire family.

(1 stars) - Disappointment In Quality Of Product
My movie arrived in a cheap paper container instead of a plastic container. There is not even a label on the disc. It appears to be a pirate disc instead of a quality DVD. Unless I receive a quality DVD to replace the one I got; I will never purchase another item from you.

I have always received quality products from you. I am very didappointed in this DVD.

(5 stars) - The Secret Garden
I've seen a few versions of The Secret Garden but this is the best with Maggie Smith. Wonderful family movie. Wish Hollywood would stop wasting their money and make more of these great family entertaining movies.
