★★★☆☆

The plot was a bit non descript....

I am a big Anne Shirley fan and am slowly viewing all the movies i can find. This one is better than the last one i saw which was Unexpected Uncle. This also has George Murphy in it and the two of them work well together but the thing i feel holds this one back is the plot. It takes a while to get going and the acting isnt great but reading what some descriptions were saying, it was hard to see if the plot was defined or vague. Oh well. Read more
