Production
The third Anne film was a completely original concept that brought Anne and the other Avonlea characters (from both the Road to Avonlea television series and the previous two Anne of Green Gables films) into a time period when each character was faced with personal turmoil as a result of World War I. Sullivan’s portrayal of Anne and Gilbert in this third film does not coincide chronologically with Montgomery’s novels; Rilla of Ingleside portrays Anne's sons going off to fight in World War I while Anne and husband Gilbert witness the War from the home-front of Prince Edward Island. (Rilla, the youngest daughter, raises someone else's little boy for a few years; he is referred to by the family as "Rilla's war-baby" and he was presumably the inspiration for Dominic in Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story.)
While The Continuing Story was set in New York, England, France and Germany, it filmed almost entirely in studio or on locations in southern Ontario, Toronto and Montreal.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“From the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”
—Charles Darwin (1809–1882)
“The growing of food and the growing of children are both vital to the family’s survival.... Who would dare make the judgment that holding your youngest baby on your lap is less important than weeding a few more yards in the maize field? Yet this is the judgment our society makes constantly. Production of autos, canned soup, advertising copy is important. Housework—cleaning, feeding, and caring—is unimportant.”
—Debbie Taylor (20th century)
