Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Secret Garden is a 1993 film based on the novel The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It is directed by Agnieszka Holland, and stars Kate Maberly as Mary Lennox and Maggie Smith as Mrs. Medlock.Possibly the best known of the film adaptations (except for perhaps the 1949 version), it makes a couple of changes that are often mistaken for book canon; Mary's parents dying in an earthquake rather than cholera, her aunt being related to her mother rather than father, and Medlock being more antagonistic. It was a significant hit at the time, getting Maggie Smith a BAFTA nomination and winning praise for its cinematography (done by the legendary Roger Deakins). It was also praised for tackling darker themes such as death, Parental Abandonment and depression in a child-friendly way. It is Kate Maberly's best known role.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Despite following a few years later, the original sequel Back to the Secret Garden (starring Camilla Belle) is actually a follow-up to the 1987 Hallmark miniseries rather than this film. | |

Adaptation Personality Change: Mrs. Medlock is haughtier and more antagonistic in the film than in the novel. Although, late in the film, she does show remorse for her behaviour, AND it is obvious that she thinks she's doing what is right. Martha is more blunt and has no problem calling Mary out for her brattiness in the book - Mary quickly realising that she won't be able to boss Martha around like her Indian servants. In this film she's far more nervous and bumbling, still helping to dress Mary (as opposed to making her do it herself in the book). | |

Adaptation Dye-Job: Mary is a blonde in the books, but changed to a brunette in the movie (though her younger self in a dream sequence is blonde, so presumably it darkened as she got older). So are her mother and aunt (who were twin sisters in this adaptation of the story) so as to highlight the resemblance between the three of them. | |
