What happens

Anne of Green Gables is a CBC Television film produced by Norman Campbell (director) and directed by Don Harron. A remake of the network's like-named 1956 musical rendition of Lucy Maud Montgomery's much-adapted story, it aired on 18 November 1958. By far the most notable departure from its predecessor is the casting of American actress Kathy Willard in the title role. The film depicts the story of Anne Shirley, an orphan in her early teens, adopted in the small-town of Avonlea, Prince Edward Island, whose optimistic mindset defies standard ladylike conduct and drives her to overcome any obstacle life throws at her.
