The Secret Garden

“The Key to the Most Unusual Picture of the Year”

Mary Lennox (Margaret O'Brien) is a sullen young girl who loses both parents to cholera in India and is sent to England to live with her uncle. His remote Yorkshire estate is home to Archibald Craven (Herbert Marshall), a widower who keeps to himself, and Colin (Dean Stockwell), his disabled son. Fred M. Wilcox directs Mary through a house of shut rooms and strict housekeeping, where she is the only one asking questions.
