THE SECRET GARDEN
Orphaned in India, where her transplanted English parents lived before falling victim to an earthquake, Mary Lennox (Kate Maberly) comes to the cold, aloof household of her uncle, the widower of her mother's twin sister. There she is viewed as nothing short of a meddlesome nuisance by the housekeeper, Mrs. Medlock (Maggie Smith), and is ordered to stay in her room until told to come out. Mary doesn't obey, of course, and in her explorations discovers the room of her sickly cousin Colin (Heydon Prowse), from whom she is intentionally being kept. Outside, she finds something even more wondrous: the secret garden of her late aunt. With the help of Dickon (Andrew Knott), a local boy who can talk with animals, Mary sets to work reclaiming the garden from the weeds and brambles that had overrun it.
