My pleasure Lenka & Susanna

I thought it would be good to get those films out there so that information could go up on the Wiki.

I also have Kim Braden's 1988 Music for Pleasure audiobook of Anne of Green Gables, but unfortunately I forgot to put it on the disks. It is not quite the same as seeing the 1972 series but with the surviving stills, it is as close as we are likely to get.

The CBC 1956 musical film of Anne of Green Gables starring Toby Tarnow  exists in the CBC archives as I have seen exerpts of it in a documentary on L M Montgomery "The Many Mauds", which is incidentally a very good documentary covering the publication of Montgomery's Journals.

The 1956 & 1958 films were the for-runner of the Charlottown musical. I am not sure if CBC still have the 1958 film with Kathy Willard. Some stills from both appeared an article on the Musical and Don Harron in one issue (I can't remember which) of the Avonlea Traditions Chronicle in the 1990s.
