Thanks TCM, I now have this Movie on DVD. : )

[storyjan]

@2point6x4 Yay! It really needs an official DVD release, doesn't it? It's definitely a classic.

[storyjan]

Set your VCRs and DVRs! On Aug. 15, Turner Classic Movies (TCM) is featuring Margaret O'Brien movies all day as part of their Summer Under the Stars series.

@storyjan You are very simply a wonderful person for letting us all know that TCM will be airing the great Secret Garden...Only afew weeks ago I checked through their site and there was no mention of it...So thankyou. X

[storyjan]

@looselywired No problem! Since hardly any of Margaret's starring movies are available on DVD, I thought fans would appreciate a heads up. I've been waiting forever to see Big City :)

I just adore this movie. I particularly love Margaret O'Brien. My favorite movie is Meet Me In Saint Louis. I once met Jadrien Steele when he was six years old. He went hiking with the Brownie/Girl scout troop I lead. He starred in the 1987 version of The Secret Garden.

I watched this movie as an 11-12 year old. I'd love to watch it again and when my children watch an adaptation of The Secret Garden on the screen, I wish they could have the chance to see this version. Perhaps this was the first o'Brien movie I ever saw.

The garden scenes were originally in color, just like the Wizard of Oz. they were not colorized.

The crying, screaming angry boy, her cousin was played by Dean Stockwell- better known as Al from Quantum Leap. Here he is just 12 years young!

i didnt know M.O.B did this, or rather i have forgotten, never seen it. i was introduced to this story by the hallmark hall of fame television version.

I had to turn the volume down during the screaming part! I was afraid my father was going to hear and become alarmed. ^^

WHERE DO I FIND THE TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES

[BernardProfitendieu]

why is this version so hard to find?

[Gail940]

filmed in mono or black and white if you will, BUT when it comes to the garden in bloom its colourised film so the effect is fantastic
