Good production, but a disappointment to this reader of the book. The change in title was apt. Would have preferred more Jane and less voodoo.
This is,to my mind, a story of love conquering circumstances.Its all about relationships and the importance of family. A great movie!

Quality films - timeless
I bought this movie for my niece as a birthday present. I bought her the book to read first, and then the movie to watch when she completed the book. We love all things Avonlea!
