Blue Roses

I knew that there had been a silent movie of Anne of Green Gables made in 1919, but I hadn't heard this bit: silent anne movie made but was destroyed after rumours leaked out about the lead actress having an affair with the director. all that is left are pictures.

Isn't that interesting? Shame it was destroyed for such a silly reason. I'd have loved to see it. I've seen the 1934 version a few times. I remember the first time I saw it, I was about 8 or 9, and I was so mad because Matthew lived. Not that I was happy when he died, because I did cry, but I didn't like them messing with my story. <.g>
