Awesome video! If this show hadn't been cancelled Christy would have definitely picked Neil, because that's how the book ends. The book is awesome, btw! And I own this TV series on DVD. Also own the movies that were made later. But I liked the show better. :)
@Smalltowngal29 But she couldn't pick Niel like in the book, because they brought back his wife; he's still married! They'd need to do something about her for Christy to end up with him, or Cutter Gap would never have stood for it. lol.
@333Raina LOL You're right about Cutter Gap not putting up with that. But I'm sure the show's writers intended to 'remove' his wife. They could've used an illness, a train wreck, or even fixed it so he hadn't been legally married to her. Christy is a classic book. Changing it so she doesn't end up with Neil would be almost as wrong as making a movie of Pride & Prejudice and having Elizabeth marry someone besides Mr. Darcy! But I will admit the man playing David was gorgeous! :)
If a woman can't choose between the good and the better, that's a disaster! David or Neil? They are both good men according to the show. The book, however describe David as more of a selfish person but in the show he is just as good as Neil. The problem left to Christy. She can't make up her mind and let them hanging for a long time. Such a pain in the butt. David and Neil, one of them should leave to help Christy in making her weak mind. That's true manliness! :D. I think David should leave.
And you will find a better woman who doesn't struggle to make up her mind. David can serve as a minister anywhere else, there were not only one cove where life condition was so critical. And who knows in another cove, another Mary, Rose, or Lavender...is worthier for him. Despite of what Christy could offer, she tortured the 2 men by her undecidable feeling. Such a drama, such a disaster! Weakness of women is that they can't decide, weakness of men is that they can't let go! Drama! Drama! Drama!
probably my favorite christy video that i have seen. well put together. but when you excellent talent and perfectly cast characters, it makes putting a video like this so much easier. the show really should have been given a better chance and supported by cbs more than i think it was. luckily we can still enjoy the show now that its on dvd & of course the book is an american classic. kudos to a job well done.

doesnt have enough compassion. he think about leaving Cutter Gap....
blah blah blah y he try to get in when David n Christy together with their true love. David saw them together many time, and forgive everything. and love her with his passion. his love. his compassion. ... but Neil hate the black guy because Christ care for that guy. not him......whoa. Im kind of disappointed about the ending...so I decided to buy n keep the old version which hand that thing up there...
I watched all the movies when I was younger but I just finished reading the book. I have to say I love this series, its my second favorite movie/book of all time.
@theolderversion no kidding. I haven't watched it at least a yr so I'm good for a dose of Anne's big words and fiery temper. My grandma actually made me watch it so I'd leave her alone and I've been hooked ever since. My number 3 favorite movie is Gone With the Wind.
@K1y7ou Yeah I know didn't think I would like it but then it was like hey this actually really goood!! oh Maan I haven't heard of that film but I think I'll have a look at it as it seems we have the same taste films!
@theolderversion yeah it's a long movie I remember that much. After you watch Gone With the Wind, you should watch Scarlett. It's the sequel to it. I've only watched it once so I don't remember much about it but I'm pretty sure it's good too. Yeah I used to think all old movies were old and boring but I'm really glad I was pushed onto these. They're really good.
@noneyourbusinessfool In the book (and the series I think) he was supposed to be around 12-15 years older than her. He's just very rugged looking. The characters are wonderful though. Highly recommend the book.
@singdancelady23 oh. but there are a lot of good looking old guys, and this guy just looks kinda scary. no offense. but the series does sound interesting. can you tell me the name of the first book, i kinda want to read it now :)
@noneyourbusinessfool lol, understand :-) It's actually just one book that they built a series out of. It's Christy by Catherine Marshall, one of my favs.
David was ok. He wanted to help people in the gap by helping them believe. Neil was a practical man of science and action who saw a problem and drugged it or cut it out.
Christy was definately an inspiration for me too as a kid. No surprise that now I'm a teacher to children in a highly rural area. I remember reading it as a kid and falling in love with Neil. He needed saving ;-)
wow this was really good! I have not seen Christy in years but I have always always loved her with Neil!! I wanted her to be with Neil soooo badly! Those two actors really did have great chemistry and I still love them! Again great mvid! Would not mind seeing another Christy and Neil mvid :)
There are two Christy movies with Lauren Lee Smith, and good ole Stewart Finlay McClennon is still Doc Macneill! In the second movie she even marries Neil! The first one is Christy:Return to Cutter Gap . The second one is Christy:Choices of the heart. They're great!
Actually there were THREE Christy movies starring Lauren Lee Smith: Return to Cutter Gap, A New Beginning and A Change of Seasons. Each run about 90 minutes long and each are available on DVD. Kellie Martin was replaced with Lauren Lee Smith who was 8-inch taller and therefore making it very difficult to believe her in the role.
aw... that was adorable! ^_^ i havent seen this series in YEARS! wow. big ol' ball of cute, this is heehee honestly, i was one of those just as stuck as she was between her "choices." Neil and David both had a lot going for them. i should find a way to watch it again, see if i feel the same. hm... wonder where. newhosits, faved and 5*ed for sheer awesomeness
People have tried to put other movies to this song, even movies I really like, but this movie is the only perfect one for this song, for those who have watched all of them! Awesome Job!! Great song, perfect movie!
just bought the orig series with Kelli Martin for $25.99 on Amazon. That is the Amazon price but there are a couple of New listings from around $17 just make sure the vendor you use has a lot of feedback and it is high I have bought ALL my DVD's, cd's and books out there forever now.
I just found out that Kellie Martin was only like 17 to 18 when she played Christy. That makes me respect her as an actress even more than I did before. She did an incredible job in this role!
Hey I was wondering if you could do a video of Christy and Neil with the song confession by josh groban? That is a great song for them I think it would be a good video! :)
Have to add to the many other posts. This is a beautiful video and even though David is a fine man, I find Dr. McNeil fascinating. There is just something about him. Good one!!!!!! Mary from IN
The new Christy movies were filmed in Canada, and the producers had to use Canadian actors. They were restricted as to how many of the original cast they were able to use. I appreciate their efforts in continuing the legacy of Christy in the face of numerous challenges!
I watched the new Christy first and I really enjoyed it. And in the new Christy she makes a choice between David and Neil!!! But now I've just finished watching the 1994 series and Christy, Miss Alice and David are just perfect in this!!! However the cliffhanger is a killer!!
I love Christy and Neil!!! This song is so perfect for them! Although i think the book is better i love the show as well. Thanks for posting it, ive been looking for christy videos! Thumbs up 10 points :)
In the book she marries Neil...but he isn't married. I think he was widdowed but she was definitely dead. Christy almost dies of scarlet fever and that is when she realizes who she loves. The book is better than the show although I loved the show. I hated that Margaret was alive and also all the "political correct" episodes they threw in that weren't in the book.
I think if the TV show were continued (dumb producers!), she would've likely chose Neil there too, at least eventually. Throughout most of the episodes, it is clear she is definitely intrigued by and attracted to Neil, while she just seems to be putting David off. It's unfortunate the writers and producers *had* to (contrary to the book) bring Margaret back into it; so it would've been against the spirit of the story for her to marry Neil, though that probably wouldn't have stopped Hollywood.
>"please tell me. How does she end up with? i have only watched the tv series and the ending left us hanging. "
In the PAX movie she chose Neil. In the book, it doesn't directly say, but the implication is that she and Neil are together there, too. In real life , she (Catherine Marshall's mother, whom the book is based on, with the movie based on the book -- changing a lot of things), she married the minister.
I'm a little confused about some of the posts. From what I understand, Christy is fictional-loosely based on Catherine Marshall's mother, I think. In the book, I felt the ending implied that she chose the doctor. It doesn't say in black and white, though. Correct me if I'm wrong. I choose the doc, however
Ok yeah Niel and Christy are so suited for one another David yeah was handsome and a preacher but his ways views were a bit backwards. Then there's Niel. He was there to reprimand,argue and really be there for her. He was something that David couldn't own up to, but yeah I with some of ya'll David was soooo handsome but Niel was breathtaking and ruggedly sweet, he really knew her deeply.
I know I already commented twice =/ but is that Fairlight at 1:54?? cause I've been wanting to know what the actress looked like for her. and great job on the video!!! I forgot to say that in my other comments!!
Yes, that is Fairlight. She is played by Tess Harper. I think Kellie Martin is perfect as Christy. She is able to communicate her emotions with her face. The Christy on the 3 newer films just doesn't come close to conveying the depth of Christy's emotions. Too bad the show was canceled before they could tie all the loose ends- like Dan Scott who is not in the 3movies and who she married. The 3 movies don't cut it. They changed all of the main characters but MacNeil. The new people were terrible.
Absolute agreed! Although I also thought that if they had done the series with James Waterston that it would have been much better. To me, he better suited David as he was written.
Those PAX movies were awful! Like they thought we couldn't tell the difference between Appalachia and the Canadian Rockies!
wait is this the first actress or second?? i've just read the book its soooo good!! in this video i think Neil and, omgosh i cant believe I just forgot the other guys name!!! they match up with what i imagined, but this christy doesnt, but I haven't seen the shows so i dont know how well she acts.
i got the complete series of christy for my birthday one year, and when i got to the last episode, (the one where shes holding the ring and trying to decide who she wanted) i was holding my breath, WAITING for her answer AND THEN IT JUST ENDED!i was so mad! and then they change, like, all the main characters in the second series, i was REALLY disapointed. the second actor who played Christy didn't even come close! but thats just my opinion.
I loved this show it was done so well. They really captured the feel of what I imagend cuttergap to be.But I wish they would have ended the show like it is in the book.
I never liked David. He was very sissy-looking, and didn't have a good personality like McNeil. Even though David is "supposedly" Christian, he is very messed up in his views, and you can tell this movie is taken from Hollywood's perspective of Christianity.
Be really careful about pointing your finger at people who don't add up to your definition of what "Christian" is. After all, to some, your life might not reflect Christ at all. This gets subjective. Don't judge. It's not your place.
>"Even though David is "supposedly" Christian, he is very messed up in his views, and you can tell this movie is taken from Hollywood's perspective of Christianity."
You can see some influences of early 20th century "modernism" in David's theology in both the book and movie, probably characteristic of the seminary he attended. Of course in another episode, he challenges Neil's evolutionary beliefs (re the origin/age of rocks) with Biblical creationism; so the writers weren't very consistent.
Definitely agreed re the "Hollywoodizing" of the story. I didn't like the part where Neil charges Dr. Ferrand with promoting "fear" (of God) through the mission's charitable works. It sounded as if the screenwriters/producers were trying to project their own views about religion through the "Christy" characters. Not only was it an unfair, unbalanced accusation; but something about the way "Neil's" objections were presented (in the TV series) sounded a bit too contemporary for that era.
Incredible job on this video. Your music choice was absolutely perfect. For me, David and Christy were always just too cookie cutter 'perfect'; the couple it felt like you were suppose to love and could have settled for but then once you saw Neil & Christy, understood what it meant for 2 people to be soulmates. KM & SFM just had a very natural onscreen chemistry that was hard to deny and impossible to manufacture. The PAX movies didn't even come close.
Are you talking about to buy? Just do a Google search for Christy the Complete Series on DVD. I have seen it going for about $35 recently. If you are just looking to view, if you join Blockbuster or Netflix online, you can rent both the series and the final movies from them. IMO the t.v. series is so much better than the the PAX movies though, as only one of the main cast came back to star in those. If you want to see how things wrap up, they are still worth seeing though.
Everyone has issues just like Neil. Thats the great thing God loves you no matter how much and what you do. David had many issues also and nobody is perfect he was just annoying!
what?!?! how can u say that? david all he ever did was RUSH himself upon Christy...Neil was a REAL persoN! he took time with christy instead of throwing out a ring like david did and sya "marry me!"
i know but read the last sentence, -in the end neil and christy r a couple made in heaven.- i like neil. but take thi in thought. i have onley seen the first three. so there
I believe that Neil was the best thing that happened in the story with Christy. They challenged eachother and neil/christy had the true love in the world that only certain people wish for.
I guess in a silly way I believe there is someone like Neil and Christy for every person if you have faith and believe it can happen for you. I hope someday God can show that love with someone for eachother like they did. They loved eachother especially for their faults and got to know eachother for every kind of emotion one can feel.
Good video...my family actually found the filming location last year during our visit to the Great Smokies. ALL of the buildings are still standing, including the infamous school, Neil's cabin, the Mission house, and the El Pano barn. A gravel road actually runs right throught the middle of the field in front of the school, but trick photography kept it out of the eyes of the casual viewer. All buildings are on private property but can be seen clearly from the road...if you can find the road!
this is the most beautiful video! i wish they would have kept the characters the same on the movie but the series is the BEST! and to all those people who don't like the way neil looks. i think he is freakin hot! i do think that i didn't like haveing margaret in the story cause it made that episode a bit confusing but it wasn't bad. i think that neil and christy are the perfect couple. this video was soo great! thank you so much for making it!
I just finished watching the show.. and I was very disapointed. In my estimation they totaly ruined the beautiful relationship between Neil and Christy by having Margaret show up. I do think the actor they picked to play Neil was PERFECT though! And I don't like David one bit! Never did in the book either!
It also bugged me really bad that the movie doesn't portray Neils change of heart. In the book it ends with him praying to God for Christy... leaving the impression that he was no longer an unbeliever.
I read the book in high school 20 years ago and liked it a lot. While waiting for the fourth Twilight book to come out, I read Christy for the second time this past week and absolutely loved it (now it's a toss up between Neil and Edward:). For those who think Neil is too old and ugly for Christy, I beg to differ. The book's description of him (rugged, chisled features that weren't finished and polished and his age seemingly in his thirties) and the show's portrayal are quite close.
I totally agree with you! I am a young teacher right now and loved the story. I was jumping with joy and crying when she picked Neil finally! I don't know why but David after a while just annoyed me.They were perfect together minds,hearts,souls, and love.Neil I believe is very handsome and christy pretty perfect couples.
That may be true, but at that time it was more common for younger women to marry older men. Even my grandparents (alive around the "Christy" era) had a 13 year age difference. The book also describes Dr. Mac as in his 30s while Christy was only 19.
I can see how you would think that because it was a couple years ago.The thing is older men are the best thing because of a lot of reasons. I am 22 years old and have dated up to 35 and its been great evertime!Everyone has an opinion though and your entitled to it.Just don't disregard a man because of his age.
Catherine Marshall based the book on her mother's experience. I don't know if her mother was torn between two men but she did marry a minister (Catherine's father). In the book Christy, recovering from typhoid wakes from a coma with Neil by her side and realizes it is him she loves. End of story. So if you want to say there is a "real" Christy, she married the minister but the fictional Christy chose Neil. (Excellent choice!) So I guess it depends on your point of view as to who she chose.
Actually it is based on a true story and its from Catherine Marshall's parents. There is even an event called the Christy fest held in Tennessee every year about it. I am just starting the book now.
Ok there are two other dvd that will give you the rest of the story. Unforchantly, the christy we learned to love switches actresses for the last 3 dvds.Well, towards the end of the show Neil accepts god into his heart and starts to believe in him. Its a good finish!
Great video! I loved this show AND the cast. Much preferred this cast to the one in the movies they made. Kelly Martin and Stewart Finlay McClennan had some great chemistry!
I found the song on itunes as part of the soundtrack for shrek, but in this video it's different with the kind of celtic touch in the beginning. Did you add that while you were making it? i love it!!

I just found out that Kellie Martin was only like 17 to 18 when she played Christy. That makes me respect her as an actress even more than I did before. She did an incredible job in this role!

me too. Having read the book so many times, I think to me she just WAS Christy. It brought the book totally alive for me.

Have to add to the many other posts. This is a beautiful video and even though David is a fine man, I find Dr. McNeil fascinating. There is just something about him. Good one!!!!!! Mary from IN

Actually, I saw the new Christy movie to end the old 1994 series, and hated it.
I just didn't like how pretty much ALL of the characters were different except Neil! It just bothered me.
I wish they could have stuck with the original cast =/

The new Christy movies were filmed in Canada, and the producers had to use Canadian actors. They were restricted as to how many of the original cast they were able to use. I appreciate their efforts in continuing the legacy of Christy in the face of numerous challenges!

I watched the new Christy first and I really enjoyed it. And in the new Christy she makes a choice between David and Neil!!! But now I've just finished watching the 1994 series and Christy, Miss Alice and David are just perfect in this!!! However the cliffhanger is a killer!!

In the book she marries Neil...but he isn't married. I think he was widdowed but she was definitely dead. Christy almost dies of scarlet fever and that is when she realizes who she loves. The book is better than the show although I loved the show. I hated that Margaret was alive and also all the "political correct" episodes they threw in that weren't in the book.

I think if the TV show were continued (dumb producers!), she would've likely chose Neil there too, at least eventually. Throughout most of the episodes, it is clear she is definitely intrigued by and attracted to Neil, while she just seems to be putting David off. It's unfortunate the writers and producers *had* to (contrary to the book) bring Margaret back into it; so it would've been against the spirit of the story for her to marry Neil, though that probably wouldn't have stopped Hollywood.

>"please tell me. How does she end up with? i have only watched the tv series and the ending left us hanging. "
In the PAX movie she chose Neil. In the book, it doesn't directly say, but the implication is that she and Neil are together there, too. In real life , she (Catherine Marshall's mother, whom the book is based on, with the movie based on the book -- changing a lot of things), she married the minister.

I'm a little confused about some of the posts. From what I understand, Christy is fictional-loosely based on Catherine Marshall's mother, I think. In the book, I felt the ending implied that she chose the doctor. It doesn't say in black and white, though. Correct me if I'm wrong. I choose the doc, however

Ok yeah Niel and Christy are so suited for one another David yeah was handsome and a preacher but his ways views were a bit backwards. Then there's Niel. He was there to reprimand,argue and really be there for her. He was something that David couldn't own up to, but yeah I with some of ya'll David was soooo handsome but Niel was breathtaking and ruggedly sweet, he really knew her deeply.

I know I already commented twice =/ but is that Fairlight at 1:54?? cause I've been wanting to know what the actress looked like for her. and great job on the video!!! I forgot to say that in my other comments!!
TurquoiseDragon27 3 years ago
Yes, that is Fairlight. She is played by Tess Harper. I think Kellie Martin is perfect as Christy. She is able to communicate her emotions with her face. The Christy on the 3 newer films just doesn't come close to conveying the depth of Christy's emotions. Too bad the show was canceled before they could tie all the loose ends- like Dan Scott who is not in the 3movies and who she married. The 3 movies don't cut it. They changed all of the main characters but MacNeil. The new people were terrible.
ladybugg06 3 years ago 4
Absolute agreed! Although I also thought that if they had done the series with James Waterston that it would have been much better. To me, he better suited David as he was written.
Those PAX movies were awful! Like they thought we couldn't tell the difference between Appalachia and the Canadian Rockies!

i got the complete series of christy for my birthday one year, and when i got to the last episode, (the one where shes holding the ring and trying to decide who she wanted) i was holding my breath, WAITING for her answer AND THEN IT JUST ENDED!i was so mad! and then they change, like, all the main characters in the second series, i was REALLY disapointed. the second actor who played Christy didn't even come close! but thats just my opinion.

I never liked David. He was very sissy-looking, and didn't have a good personality like McNeil. Even though David is "supposedly" Christian, he is very messed up in his views, and you can tell this movie is taken from Hollywood's perspective of Christianity.
carmenaudrey 3 years ago 6
Be really careful about pointing your finger at people who don't add up to your definition of what "Christian" is. After all, to some, your life might not reflect Christ at all. This gets subjective. Don't judge. It's not your place.
Blessed be.
tripthruwires 3 years ago
>"Even though David is "supposedly" Christian, he is very messed up in his views, and you can tell this movie is taken from Hollywood's perspective of Christianity."
You can see some influences of early 20th century "modernism" in David's theology in both the book and movie, probably characteristic of the seminary he attended. Of course in another episode, he challenges Neil's evolutionary beliefs (re the origin/age of rocks) with Biblical creationism; so the writers weren't very consistent.
churchmousie 3 years ago
Definitely agreed re the "Hollywoodizing" of the story. I didn't like the part where Neil charges Dr. Ferrand with promoting "fear" (of God) through the mission's charitable works. It sounded as if the screenwriters/producers were trying to project their own views about religion through the "Christy" characters. Not only was it an unfair, unbalanced accusation; but something about the way "Neil's" objections were presented (in the TV series) sounded a bit too contemporary for that era.

Incredible job on this video. Your music choice was absolutely perfect. For me, David and Christy were always just too cookie cutter 'perfect'; the couple it felt like you were suppose to love and could have settled for but then once you saw Neil & Christy, understood what it meant for 2 people to be soulmates. KM & SFM just had a very natural onscreen chemistry that was hard to deny and impossible to manufacture. The PAX movies didn't even come close.

joebob900 3 years ago
Are you talking about to buy? Just do a Google search for Christy the Complete Series on DVD. I have seen it going for about $35 recently. If you are just looking to view, if you join Blockbuster or Netflix online, you can rent both the series and the final movies from them. IMO the t.v. series is so much better than the the PAX movies though, as only one of the main cast came back to star in those. If you want to see how things wrap up, they are still worth seeing though.

I guess in a silly way I believe there is someone like Neil and Christy for every person if you have faith and believe it can happen for you. I hope someday God can show that love with someone for eachother like they did. They loved eachother especially for their faults and got to know eachother for every kind of emotion one can feel.

Good video...my family actually found the filming location last year during our visit to the Great Smokies. ALL of the buildings are still standing, including the infamous school, Neil's cabin, the Mission house, and the El Pano barn. A gravel road actually runs right throught the middle of the field in front of the school, but trick photography kept it out of the eyes of the casual viewer. All buildings are on private property but can be seen clearly from the road...if you can find the road!

I just finished watching the show.. and I was very disapointed. In my estimation they totaly ruined the beautiful relationship between Neil and Christy by having Margaret show up. I do think the actor they picked to play Neil was PERFECT though! And I don't like David one bit! Never did in the book either!

It also bugged me really bad that the movie doesn't portray Neils change of heart. In the book it ends with him praying to God for Christy... leaving the impression that he was no longer an unbeliever.

teacherbl22 3 years ago
I read the book in high school 20 years ago and liked it a lot. While waiting for the fourth Twilight book to come out, I read Christy for the second time this past week and absolutely loved it (now it's a toss up between Neil and Edward:). For those who think Neil is too old and ugly for Christy, I beg to differ. The book's description of him (rugged, chisled features that weren't finished and polished and his age seemingly in his thirties) and the show's portrayal are quite close.

I totally agree with you! I am a young teacher right now and loved the story. I was jumping with joy and crying when she picked Neil finally! I don't know why but David after a while just annoyed me.They were perfect together minds,hearts,souls, and love.Neil I believe is very handsome and christy pretty perfect couples.

That may be true, but at that time it was more common for younger women to marry older men. Even my grandparents (alive around the "Christy" era) had a 13 year age difference. The book also describes Dr. Mac as in his 30s while Christy was only 19.

Catherine Marshall based the book on her mother's experience. I don't know if her mother was torn between two men but she did marry a minister (Catherine's father). In the book Christy, recovering from typhoid wakes from a coma with Neil by her side and realizes it is him she loves. End of story. So if you want to say there is a "real" Christy, she married the minister but the fictional Christy chose Neil. (Excellent choice!) So I guess it depends on your point of view as to who she chose.

Actually it is based on a true story and its from Catherine Marshall's parents. There is even an event called the Christy fest held in Tennessee every year about it. I am just starting the book now.

Ok there are two other dvd that will give you the rest of the story. Unforchantly, the christy we learned to love switches actresses for the last 3 dvds.Well, towards the end of the show Neil accepts god into his heart and starts to believe in him. Its a good finish!
