Um þessa kvikmynd

Enormously popular child actress Margaret O'Brien (Meet Me in St. Louis) touches the heart in this classic adventure of a young orphan sent to live at the dark and foreboding English estate of her widowed uncle and his crippled son, played by fellow child sensation Dean Stockwell. Led by a strong will and a stubborn temperament, Mary Lennox (O'Brien) discovers the existence of a secret garden, the history of which slowly reveals the mystery of her uncle and his son's embittered lives. Eventually, the beloved garden becomes the only hope for their happiness and restoration from the haunting grip of the past. Produced by Clarence Brown, the film is based on the popular novel by acclaimed children's author Frances Hodgson Burnett (Little Lord Fauntleroy). A dazzling technical effect aptly derived from The Wizard of Oz brings the secret garden alive in a radiant color sequence, making it, and the film, a magical place you'll have to experience yourself!

Einkunnir og umsagnir

Hope, dreams, and surprise for children, stubborn, healthy, or crippled. A book made into a movie that tells a story of an orphan being raised on an uncles estate in England. The movie is a wonderful representation and has suspense, laughter and a surprise ending. A warm feeling after watching this movie will bring joy to the viewers heart.

Super because of the three children who played their parts so well . Dame Gladys was always the same in every film, though.

To dream an incredible dream, then to learn its not a dream at all. You have found the key.
