Heidi Summary
Director: Paul Marcus
Genres: Children's/Family
An A-list cast, with screen legends Max von Sydow (The_Seventh_Seal, Hannah and Her Sisters), Diana_Rigg (TV's The_Avengers, On_Her_Majesty's_Secret_Service), andGeraldine_Chaplin (Nashville, Remember_My_Name), highlights this live-action, feature-length adaptation of Johanna_Spyri's much-beloved novel -Heidi (1880). The picture -- like the book -- tells the familiar story of the title character (here played by Emma_Bolger), an orphaned little girl who goes to live with her grandfather (Max_Von_Sydow) in the Swiss Alps. Shot on location in Switzerland, against a wintry, majestic backdrop, the picture strives to preserve Spyri's sense of the landscape and her rare insight into the perceptions of children, as well as the book's feel for sweeping adventure and lasting sentiment. Paul_Marcus directs, from an adaptation by Brian_Finch. Nathan Southern, Rovi
