Sarah Plain And Tall


Hallmark is airing the 3 movies about Sarah and Jacob. I remember the first time I watched the first movie. Glen Close and Christopher Walken were absolutely incredible in that made for TV movie.

How funny that these beautiful movies stemmed from a child's book that wasn't even 100 pages long.

What's even funnier is that Christopher Walken plays a nice guy that's for the most part normal! I wonder how he got talked into taking that acting job! However he is fantastic in these movies. If you like period films, you definitely want to hunt them down on DVD if you can't catch them on the Hallmark Channel.

I have to give Hallmark credit, when they make films they seem to draw their stories from the nicest places, children's stories, Debbie Macomber novels, biographies.

Sure some of them are sappy and heart-wrenching, but for the most part all of them are good, but the Sarah trilogy is the absolute best.
