When Michael McCann is thrown over by the woman he loves, he becomes something of a misanthrope and a miser, spending all of his spare money on collectible gold coins. Living in the same town is an affluent family with two sons: John and Tanny. Tanny's a wild boy, whom John cannot control, and one night he breaks into McCann's house, and steals the gold and disappears, which nearly confirms McCann's distrust of mankind. But then, a mysterious young woman dies in the snow outside McCann's house, and her small daughter makes her way to McCann's house and into McCann's life and heart.

"I mean there's a lot that doesn't stand up today. Apart from that it's a nice cosy found-a-kid story that slides over dark themes, and subjects kids to trauma like it's a flashcard with a tree on it. If you like one day, stepmom, a girl and three guys, curly sue, or baby boom, you'll probably like this."

"Adaptation of the novel "Silas Marner: The Weaver of Raveloe." While an imperfect film, it is still interesting to see how they updated certain aspects of Silas Marner to make sense in a 20th Century context."
