Sarah Plain and Tall
This is the BEST Hallmark Hall of Fame Movie I have ever seen in my entire life!!!!!!!!!!!! Caleb (AKA) Christopher Bell from St. Paul, MN is the best child actor Iโve ever seen. What a wonderful movie of life's strange yet very real events. Christopher Walken, Glenn Close, & Lexi Randall were wonderful as well!

Going Back In Time
I got the 3 DVD set of Sarah Plain and Tall. Glenn Close is perfect as the Plain Jane Sarah. Her character made me believe this really happened. Christopher Walken is perfect as Jacob, the widow seeking a new wife and mother for his children via a newspaper ad. The adjustment each character has to make from their former lives must be made if they want to move forward with a more permanent arrangement. I've always been enthralled with those mail order brides and Sarah Plain and Tall satisfied my curiosity. Skylark is the second DVD in this series. Life on the plains of Kansas in 1910 was harsh. Sarah continually longing for the cool waters of her Maine home while suffering the drought realities of her new life brought a true peek into what those pioneers lived through, or didn't. Winter's End is the final DVD of Sarah's series. Skylark was the drought, Winter's End is the story of their winter where so many lives at that time were lost to the harsh plains. A very satisfying journey with this 3 DVD set.

Very good...
This is a trilogy, 3 movies of 100 minutes each, 5 hours in all (in English, NO subtitles - 'Product Details' claims English subtitles - it is not so!): 1) 'Sarah Plain and Tall' 2) 'Skylark' 3) 'Winters End' On IMDB the trilogy has 7 stars (max. rating) and it has 9 Emmy and Golden Globe nominations! Originally made for television by Hallmark in 1991. Glenn Close is carrying the movies, well supported by Christopher Walken. Glenn Close is acting brilliantly, as usual, giving substance and character to Sarah Wheaton, a Maine single woman, responding to an advertisement for a wife and mother to widowed Jacob Witting (Christopher Walken) and his two children on a farm in Kansas. The story is set in the period 1910 - 1918. 1) 'Sarah Plain and Tall' is centered around the relationship of Sarah and Jacob, who can not let go of his dead wife, but ends up loving the headstrong Sarah after all. The movie ends with their marriage, that would not have come about, had it not been for the two children that Sarah came to love and can not abandon without a fight. 2) 'Skylark' is centered around a prolonged drought, that causes Kansas farmes severe hardship, causing many to leave their land to try their luck elsewhere. Jacob is bound to his land though and can not give it up. He sends Sarah and the children back to Maine, back to the sea, to the lush greenery, to the three spinster aunts - 'the unclaimed treasures' - who walk about barefoot and goes skinny-dipping in the sea at night. Sarah discovers she is pregnant and is later joined by Jacob, who can leave Kansas for a while, after the rain has finally come to the farm. The movie ends with the family going back to Kansas. 3) 'Winters End' is centered around a terrific Kansas winter and the return of Jacob's father, believed dead since Jacobs childhood. It proves that the father actually left Jacob and his mother, who were estranged by bitternes and the hardship of life on the farm. The father, who is seriously ill, perhaps dying, is finally forgiven by Jacob and the family united. It sounds simple, even banal - perhaps it is; but the story, the acting and the filming makes it into a riveting experience about life, love, endurance and humanity... These are the kind of movies that grow on you, that it is hard to forget - the sheer humanity, the pain and the joy! I don't know if this kind of movies are made any longer, or if it has all gone up in rattling guns, murder, special effects and extravaganzas - if movies like these are not made, it is a loss and a pity! One to watch!

Always liked this story and didn't know there was a part 2 & 3, and found the series completes itself with three well written stories.
