Having panned the 2020 version of The Secret Garden last week, I thought that I'd feature a clip of the not perfect, but much superior 1993 film. It stars Kate Maberly as Mary Lennox, Heydon Prowse as Colin Craven, and the always great Maggie Smith as Mrs. Medlock. In this scene Colin, who has been bedridden all his life, is terrified when Mary and Dickon unseal his windows to let in the sunshine, certain that the "spores" in the fresh air are going to kill him. When an unconcerned Mary runs off to play with Dickon, Colin has a hysterical meltdown- not an unusual occurrence for him. |
