The secret garden (1993)
February 7th, 2010
I watched this wonderful film today, based on the classic book by Frances Hodgson. I believe it is meant to take place in 1905. The book came out in 1911. The performances by the children and Maggie Smith were lovely. It featured fantastic time-lapse photography of growing flowers and plants and the settings in general were incredible, the mansion, the countryside, the garden. So were the clothes. The housekeeper’s austere corseted outfits, the children’s pretty nightgowns and especially Colin’s little ensembles were charming. A must watch!

I was thinking about this film the other day. I think it was the first film that I ever saw in theatres… I love the book–it’s so magical!
