Amazon.com: 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

Rating: - WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!
this movie is TOTALLY OFF! and it skips a huge amount of time. the great world war (WWI) doesn't take place until Anne's kids are old enough to fight in tha war and get married. not when she and Gilbert are. so this story has nothing to do with that of ANNE OF GREEN GABLES. if you've never read teh books, it's a pretty good story. b ut if you have, don't bother. i wont even let anyone in my family buy it for me even though they know it will complete my set. don't bother with it if you are a true L.M. Montgomery fan.
Rating: - unimaginably bad
I bought this despite the bad reviews because I thought it was impossible for an Anne movie to be that bad, but they managed to pull it off. Not only do they burn down Green Gables but they create chemistry between Anne and another man while things with Anne and Gil are cold. Come on people...all we want is a good chick flick with a nice ending!!
Rating: - Sorry, I thought it was wonderful!
While this 3rd movie in the Anne of Green Gables series was very different---and I did miss the quaintness of the others---I still thought it was wonderful, just in a different way. There is all the warmth, and it has the feel of what happens when you grow up and leave the comfortable things of childhood, while still keeping the wonderful morals and warmth of the tale, and in keeping with Anne's character.
Rating: - Excited to receive great product!
I received my DVD very quickly, in great condition, and in good packaging. I thoroughly enjoyed watching my purchase and thank Amazon for being so prompt and professional in handling my transaction. I'm very satisfied and will use Amazon again for future purchases.
