Customer Reviews

Please vote for The Secret Garden (1949) to be released on DVD!!!!!!!!
This is a wonderful film with Margaret O'Brien playing the character Mary Lennox.
I bought this film on VHS from a seller, the film kept freezing up though which was very annoying! It's out of print, but all the other Secret Garden movies are out on DVD, and so should this one be!
Please vote for the DVD release, the more votes the more likely it will go onto DVD!

A good movie for all ages
I have this on VHS.I can't figure out why its never been on DVD. Its suitable for all ages and children and adults will enjoy it. Movies not half as good have been released. The movie stars child actress Margaret O'Brien who was a very talented child. Also starred was Dean Stockwell, also a very good child actor. Margaret in the movie ends up being an orphan and sent to her uncles foreboding house in England. The uncle has his own problems and although he takes Margaret in, he is not very friendly towards her. Dean Stockwell plays the part of her cousin and also lives in the house, but Margaret doesn't meet him right away. He can't walk and is confined to bed and is lonely and difficult till later in the movie when Margaret befriends him. Margaret also meets Dickon, who does some work around the big house and the three become friends and have a secret that they all take part in. The story is very entertaining. Most of the movie is in black and white, but in the VHS I have, part of it is in colour. Its a great movie,suitable for all, which is hard to find in todays world. I hope it will be released on DVD soon. The studios missed this one.

Enchanting - the orginal and best!

The original and best!

Stars Margaret O'Brien, Dame Gladys Cooper, Herbert Marshall, Elsa Lanchester and Reginald Owen.

This bitter-sweet tale of grief and love features no less than three talented child stars of yesteryear. Some entertaining scenes as Margaret O'Brien attempts to out-do Dean Stockwell in a screaming fit!

An orphaned girl (O'Brien) is sent from India to England to live with her eccentric and reclusive Uncle (Herbert Marshall) whom she's never met. Hidden within the great house are several secrets - one, a disabled boy!

Heart-warming tale of childhood and innocence, and no re-make matches up to this!

Made in a mixture of black and white and colour.
