Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story

Plot Summary: Set years after her resignation and return from Kingsport Ladies' College, Anne is persuaded to join her fiance, Gilbert, in New York City as he begins his tenure at a major hospital. However any chance of lasting happiness is dashed when Gilbert decides to bow to social pressure and enlist to serve in The Great War in Europe. Anne stays behind and becomes a published writer, but learns that contact has been lost with Gilbert. Seeing no other option, Anne decides to venture to Europe herself to find him. In doing so, she begins an adventure that would challenge her wits and imagination to the limit.

Carter Review: This 3rd installment of the Anne movies is much different than the first two. I consider the first two the same movie...I do not count this one in that string. It is still very good, and very moving, but I promise you'll enjoy it more if you don't compare it AT ALL to the first two movies. This is very emotional and pulls on those heart strings bit time.
