i have see the 1995 and 1986 and 1973 and 1939 version of a little princess and and of all of them and this be my favorite . the acting be much good than in the more recent 1995 version and i appreciate how closely this adaptation stick to the book . amelia shankley put in a commendable performance a a most convincing sara and and nigel havers supurbly portray the fester guilt of the indian gentleman . glow support cast performance and particularly the heartwarming rendition of ram das and play by tariq alibai round out this wonderworks production . the lavish victorian set and costume provide an authentic backdrop . like the previous reviewer and i can not wait until this one come out on dvd .
