Amazon.com: The third and final episode of the Sarah, Plain and Tall series is a 1999 production reuniting stars Glenn Close and Christopher Walken with original director Glenn Jordan. Taking the story eight years beyond the original tale, Winter's End is set in a harsh Kansas winter of 1918, with the specter of death everywhere: soldiers are dying overseas during World War I, influenza is at epidemic proportions in the U.S., and an old man has returned to the Witting farm with an uncertain reception. He's John Witting (Jack Palance), father of Jacob (Walken), and the two men have not seen each other since John abandoned his son years ago. Reconciliation comes hard, punctuated by cliffhanger disasters (Jacob breaks his leg and burns with a fever, Sarah almost dies in a heavy snowstorm), but this most brutal of trial periods for the Wittings still invites a viewer to yearn for a more innocent--perhaps mythical--time in America. A worthy and rewarding finish to a trilogy fit for families yet sophisticated enough for all ages, Winter's End may be one of the last network television classics in an era of audience relocation to multichannel cable. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - Sarah Plain and Principled
If you are looking for a wholesome film that is well acted with a storyline that is original and captivating, this is the film for you and your family. Set in historic America, it admirably portrays the upright pioneering values of God-fearing, hard-working American immigrants. The complex three dimensionality of the characters creates a chemistry rarely seen in good story-telling movies. Don't miss this one, the kids and you will love it.
Rating: - strong family values
I loved this one. It was very tender and realistic. Good acting by Close and Walken. You've got to keep moving forward in life.
Rating: - The Best Hallmark Movies Ever Made!!!!!
I first got introduced to these movies in December 2005 by an older friend who said that these movies are very very good.
After watching them I went on the net and purchased them. I loved them so much that I brought another set as a gift.
I will not go into what the story line is about as many other reviews have done that already but what I will say is this.
These movies are the best non Christian movies in my opinon ever made. Sarah Plain and Tall movies focus on the importance of family, forgiveness,healing,love....I could not praise these productions enough and if I could ... Read More
Rating: - Sarah, Plain and Tall - Trilogy
Thank God there are three of the "Sarah" movies. I can sit down in an afternoon and lose myself in these pioneer day movies. I can escape the problems of the world and find peace in Sarah, Plain and Tall. The books were such small tokens to society, but the movies are huge trophies to brighten the world. Lose yourself in the world of droughts, fires, children, animals, farm work, and love. I cannot recommend these movies to do them justice. Wonderful. Exciting. Heartfelt.
Rating: - Great DVD set.
This is one of Hallmark best efforts. I just love these movies; I've watched them several times. They're great movies for the entire family. I would recommend these movies to everyone.
