Synopsis

Based on the novel by Belva Plain, covering a time span from 1909 to 1959. The story begins in New York's Lower East Side with the arrival of Polish-Jewish immigrant Anna (Lesley Ann Warren). At first employed as a humble seamstress, Anna is whisked into a whole new world when she becomes the wife of the enterprising Joseph Friedman (Armand Assante), who eventually becomes a wealthy Westchester contractor. Even so, Anna's heart belongs to Paul Lerner (Ian Shane), the son of the prosperous Fifth Avenue family which employs her relatives. In 1918, Anna gives birth to Paul's daughter, allowing Joseph to believe that he is the father. The secret surrounding Anna's child will lead to a daunting and frequently heartbreaking chain of events, culminating decades later in the newly formed state of Israel, where Anna's grandson Eric hopes to "find himself" -- and ends up finding more than he bargained for.

johnmarge269 Having borrowed a VHS from a friend I found it an absolute delight to watch. I have tried various stores to get a copy and I have failed. I'm wondering if someone, somewhere knows where I can purchase a copy on either VHS or DVD. Thank You. I will be willing to use an internet purchase, even if its a good second hand copy I will be willing to purchase it. The film I am seeking starred Ian Mcshane, in the part of Paul Lerner. It was a wonderful love story which I would dearly love to own. I'm hoping that someone, somewhere would be able to help and end my search. I really am surprised that this film is not readily available in the shops, when films & series made in the Forties can be obtained without too much searching.
louichiodo I wish to buy the film "Evergreen" for my mother for her birthday but am unable to find if anybody can help me it would be much appreciated my mother loved the film.I have not seen the film as yet but it does sound fantastic.My mother said it was on of the best film she has seen and more movies should follow suit.My mother has been asking me to chase this film for a long time she did have it on VHS but her children taped over it and she was not happy as it was one of her favorite movies.Thank You
joneset123 I saw Evergreen on TV one time about ten years ago and never forgot it. I have been looking for it everywhere so I can buy it. It is beautifully written, beautifully photographed, and amazingly acted out. Get your coffee or tea, something to eat, and settle in. It takes you to another place and time...especially considering it is now 2005 and rare for a movie to tell a thoroughly moving story that remains consistent and true to itself.This is a movie worth giving to someone who loves romance. It is worth giving to yourself. I am glad I have finally found someplace to get Evergreen. It is a treasure and worth every minute you spend watching it. Hopefully, one day, it will be re-run here in the United States so others may discover it.
mcgowanbrenda I loved Evergreen. Enjoyed the story line and much work went into choosing the actors for the characters they played. There were quite a few new faces at the time Evergreen was made who went on to make bigger and better movies. Ian McShane was one. He is so handsome and one look from him, makes you melt. A very versatile actor. Armand Assante played a brilliant part as Joseph Friedman with such powerful acting and Lesley Ann Warren also as a relatively newcomer to the screen. I wish they would replay this mini series in Australia again. It has been too long.
