When a young girl is orphaned in colonial India, she’s sent to live with an uncle in a forbidding mansion in Yorkshire under the eye of his stern housekeeper, Mrs Medlock (Maggie Smith). She soon discovers her dead aunt’s beautiful secret garden, as well as her bedridden cousin, who’s never been outside.
This adaptation of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s beloved novel is wise, beautiful and moving for viewers of all ages.
‘Like all great stories for children, The Secret Garden contains powerful truths just beneath the surface.’ – Robert Ebert
Presented on 16mm film prints from the NFSA collection.
