Anne Of Green Gables - 1985 - 2 Parts Verified

Anne forms a fierce "bosom friendship" with Diana Barry and starts a legendary rivalry with Gilbert Blythe.

When Marilla (brought to life with magnificent, brittle severity by Colleen Dewhurst) demands to know where the boy is, Anne’s dramatic despair grounds the story. The narrative arc of Part 1 focuses on Anne's tenuous integration into the tight-knit, conservative community of Avonlea. We watch her accidentally intoxicate her "bosom friend" Diana Barry with currant wine, dye her hated red hair an disastrous shade of green, and smash a slate over the head of Gilbert Blythe (Jonathan Crombie) for daring to call her "Carrots." By the conclusion of Part 1, Anne has not only won the hearts of the Cuthberts but has proven her worth to the entire town, transforming from an unwanted outsider into an indispensable local treasure.
