This made-for-TV adaptation of Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden stars Gennie James as spoiled-rotten Mary Lennox. When her parents die of cholera, Mary is whisked from her home in India to live in the forbidding Victorian mansion of her flint-hearted uncle (Derek Jacobi). Thanks to the friendship--and vivid imagination--of gardener's son Jadrien Steele, Mary learns that life is lived best when one cares for others. At the same time, her uncle begins to act like a human being. The only false note in this otherwise flawless production was the decision to clumsily frame the story with the narration of the adult Mary Lennox. Blessed with a top-rank British cast, including Michael Hordern, Billie Whitelaw, Lucy Gutteridge and Alison Doody (Harrison Ford's vis-a-vis in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, this 1987 Secret Garden was first telecast as a Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation.

Seller's Description:
Gennie James; Barret Oliver; Jadrien Stelle; Michael Hordern; Billie Whitelaw; Derek Jacobi; Run time: 98 mins. Aspect ratio: 1.33: 1. Originally released: 1987. Language: English. Hallmark Hall of Fame Gold Crown Collector's Edition. Factory Sealed Brand New DVD Mary Lennox (Gennie James) is a spoiled young British girl orphaned by an Indian epidemic. She is sent to Misselthwaite Manor in Yorkshire to live with a distant relative, Archibald Craven (Derek Jacobi), and there she becomes obsessed with a secret, overgrown garden. With the help of a local boy, Dickon, the garden and everyone around them--including Craven and his frail son, Colin--come to life again. Filmed on location at scenic Highclere Castle in Newbury, this Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation of Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic won an Emmy for Outstanding Children's Program. Although it can't top the 1949 version with Margaret O'Brien (or Agnieszka Holland's 1993 version), younger viewers may prefer this more straightforward retelling, whereas adults are sure to appreciate the fine performances by Jacobi and Billie Whitelaw (Mrs. Medlock). Colin Firth (Bridget Jones's Diary) appears briefly as the adult Colin in this timeless, uplifting story for all ages
I love this movie! This version!! I have seen others, but none as well made as this!!

fondly remembered
I saw this movie when I was a kid, and enjoyed it. I was looking for this in Hallmark stores, but they don't have it currently. I've now read the original book and seen other adaptations, but I still enjoy this one for having Derek Jacobi as Mr. Archibald Craven. Colin Firth also has a small part as a grown up Colin after WWI. It's heartwarming and fun to watch the kids discover the garden and become friends. This version changes the story so that Mary and Colin are not cousins.
