same old same old

M'liss Smith (Anne Shirley) is the rambunctious daughter of drunken Washoe Smith. He founded the town Smith's Pocket, but has fallen upon hard times. They are forced to leave their home after Mayor Morpher takes it to form the new school. She falls for the sensitive new school teacher Stephen Thorne. Her father is killed in after a bar fight which leaves her an orphan.

This definitely has a similar sense as Anne of Green Gables especially the classroom scenes. The issue is that Anne always looked a little older than she is and this is two years after that movie. She looks like she's in her late twenties. It's the same field and it's growing fallow. There is too much that is the same old.
