In this 1934 film adaption of Lucy Maud Montgomery's classic novel, aging siblings Matthew (O.P. Heggie) and Marilla Cuthbert (Helen Westley) await the arrival of an orphan boy they've secured to work on their family farm, Green Gables. Much to Marilla's chagrin, the orphanage sends a girl named Anne Shirley (Anne Shirley) instead. When Anne falls for her new classmate Gilbert (Tom Brown), the son of a rival family, it may test the Cuthberts' patience -- and threaten the stability of her new life.
