- The made-for-television version of Johanna Spyri's family classic. Heidi (Jennifer Edwards), a young orphan girl, is sent to live with her grandfather (Michael Redgrave) in the beautiful Swiss Alps. The gruff and bitter old man views Heidi at first as an ill-mannered child and an unwanted responsibility, but he soon becomes quite attached to her. When Heidi is sent to Frankfurt to be a companion to Clara (Zuleika Robson), the crippled daughter of successful businessman Herr Richard Sesemann (Maximilian Schell), Heidi and her grandfather are saddened at their parting. Heidi finds Clara’s governess, Fraulein Rottenmeier (Jean Simmons), to be a kind woman, but the spoiled Clara is mean to Heidi. Heidi soon wins her over, though, and they become good friends. Still homesick, Heidi is sent on a two-week visit with her grandfather and is later joined by Clara. It is there that Clara overcomes her fears and learns to walk. This endearing drama, with a romantic subplot between Herr Sesemann and Fraulein Rottenmeier, features exemplary acting and a magnificent music score. It is a favourite classic tale enjoyed by all ages.
Director: Delbert Mann
Starring: Jennifer Edwards, Michael Redgrave, Maximilian Schell, Jean Simmons, Walter Slezak
I love this movie. I am now 57 and have seen it several times. There is an instant connection to the simplicity and pure life. Still dream to living like a farmer in the mountains.

Reminds me my mom, tell us a story about rich and poor.

Delightful movie. 🥰👍🌸🕊
Beautiful movie .
this reminds me of this pre-empting the last 2 minutes of a football game, where the ultimate winners ran for 2 touchdown in those 2 minutes that were never shown.....there was quite a national outcry if I remember right.....
What a refreshing movie. No swearing or nudity. Just a wholesome movie.
Just what I was thinking....no apocaliptic scenes, no shooting, no special forces, no weird diagnoses...what a relief
@@natasamladenovic1765 When the world was so much brighter ........loved every second of this film
@@susanramos6473 my late father-in-law used to say that the humankind is deteriorating. Our children do not know how to climb a tree, they hardly know how to hold a pen...the motoric skills are poor, the brains are not excersised, we do not add up in our heads...and the modern entertainment is only made to shock...
@@natasamladenovic1765 I so agree Natasa..... watching the film actually made me cry....
@@susanramos6473 the life was hard back then but in a different way andbpeople were grateful and happy about the little things....
Heidi at first was a sad orphan rejected. But her sweet heart converted other suffering lifes into happiness. The magic of love. We all must learn a lot from this story. ❤️
I am 62 years old. I love this movie! Never seen this before. I missed it in my past. Love old movies. i am just discovering them now.
Me too, I’ve only seen Shirley’s....

Yes correct and EU is now HORRID , disgusting & filthy...... and we are hardly hanging on here 🇺🇸....... and by the end of Biden’s stolen term, we will not have any Republic left, guaranteed!

I so enjoy watching these tasteful older movies. Filled with honest values and ❤.
Heidi by Johanna Spyri was the first story book my mother read to me and also the first story book she taught me to read by myself. The version that I was presented as a toddler was a story plus colouring book for a 3+year old. Oh! how much I loved that book. This movie simply brought back so many wonderful memories from my childhood years spending time on her lap reading to me.
Thank you for sharing this.

Such a lovely memory. I have the same memories with my mum reading to me. It's such a beautiful story. It's sad to think that a lot of little girls now know nothing of Heidi. What a loss. 🥺
@@minzygreen1167I agree. It is sad no doubt.
I saw the version with Shirley Temple when I was young. Wonderful story.
@@minzygreen1167 q
Heidi was the first book I ever borrowed from the church library. I was eight. A young girl from Nairobi reading about and enraptured by the story of a Swiss orphan, a world away. Memories! I borrowed it over and over and over, and once I stayed late to return it and the librarian gave it to me instead of fining me. It then became the first book my younger sisters ever read. I insisted on drinking goat milk instead of cow milk because of Heidi. It was not till many years later that my mother figured out why.😂😂😂. I still want to move to and live on a self sustaining farm growing crops and keeping chicken and goats, and I will very soon.
That is itself a book. What did become of the plan?

Of all the HEIDI that I have watched, this had to be the best.
Not a complement ,just the truth.
An old lady of 80. Thank you.🇪🇸🇨🇮🇦🇺
My favourite version is the 1993 adaptation with Noley Thornton :)
This is my favorite version also!
.
Read this book about 70 years ago and was my favourite. Oh the memories..
Read the book when I was a young girl I am now 64 and watching this movie brought comfort to me Having a rough day Thank you
I also read the novel when I was a child. Also love the movie, but the novel is really incomparable to any other version of "Heidi".
This version of my beloved Heidi is one of my favorites. I’ve seen so many; my first was with Shirley Temple. As a child the books made the story real to me. This one is perfect. Thank you 🙏
I first saw “Heidi” with Shirley Temple😀😀😀 loved it!!!
The scenery is absolutely beautiful
I must say that Heidi is one of the best beloved classics in the world 🌎.
I liked and really enjoyed the movie. It reminded people needs to change their mindset in order to reach their goal. Miracles happen..moreso God helps those who help themselves.
Yu 5 try try
True, but I've never seen this version.. 😅
Such a beautiful touching story! So loved it and enjoyed the countryside scenic beauty! What a beautiful world it was in the past!
I'm so glad that I've made the decision to watch this movie that showed up on my feed. I've always loved the classical movies and I'm 48.
So am I ;-)
True! I loved this movie when I was a kid and now I'm 50!
Me too I'm 49
I saw this movie with my kids40years before. &I saw it today. The same magical effect. Enjoyed thoroughly.
And I'm 57.
I had watch it many times with my kids and now with my grandchildren
I believe this is the third version of Heide that I have watched and this is my favourite. It’s beautiful and inspirational. I love all the characters portrayed. I enjoyed it immensely. Claire A.
I still can’t get over how both Jean Simmons ➰ Maximilian Schell look so young! What a cute adaptation of Heidi.
Jean Simmons is buried in Highgate cemetery, same as George Michael.
Jean Simmons just got more and more beautiful. I remember Heidi from my early childhood but only saw it once. Same for Pippi Longstocking. In fact, I think they are now the same movie in my memory! Tnanks for posting.
I dearly cried a lot when grandfather carried Heide from her deep sleep.
Just so so sentimental 😪
Certainly love the story's innocence and sweetness 😪
Angelic heartwarming movie 😪
I so love the classics. Our children today could benefit from these movies instead of violence.
This is a beautiful and touching story. We all need to remember the eagle and overcome our fears.
What a movie, it transformed me into a kid, silently watching the story taking a beautiful shape. No harsh dialogues,no terrorising face expression. Heidi Clara and all others accept my hearty thanks for the magic done.
I prefer these sorts of films too. Many today have far too much violence and sex for me. That is not entertainment in my view.
@carolwilliams8511 thank you so much, awaiting more simple heart touching shorts 😊
Read Heidi as a child in the late 70s and was pleasantly surprised to come across this wholesome production. Many thanks from the Fiji Islands...
Was shown this version first before ever seeing the Shirley temple one as a kid. Really loved the casting in this one.
This version of the Heidi story is exceptionally good. The actors are first rate and the director is one of the best.
What a touching movie😥I always wanted to live on the mountains. There's so much peace and real connection with the heavenly father.
This is my favorite version! Jennifer Edwards in her first role was somewhat inexperienced, but it has the wonderful Maximilian Schell, Jean Simmons, and Michael Redgrave. Clara was a standout also.
What do you mean??!! Jennifer Edwards was superb! What more do you want!?? She was full of feeling, sweetness, a positive mind set, and able to convey emotions that were important to the story, plus inspire others to feel so! On top of that, she was beautiful!
Maureen McCormick was the 1st choice to play Heidi
When I get homesick , from living in a strange place, then 'Heidi ' is splendid to watch
I first read this book when I was 9 years old and I still have that book. I read it every few years and enjoy it as much as I did when I was 9. I'm now 60. Loved the freshness and sweetness of this movie. Thank you.
Such a beautiful story. We read the book in primary school learning English as our second language. All I remember was a little girl and a mountain. Now everything came back. Thank you so much for this heart warming movie. 💖
Such a beautiful film. Thank you so much for posting it! The beautiful scenery in the Swiss Alps is absolutely stunning!
Vi y
I really loved this as a child and now I’m retired I still love it.
My name is Heidi from Europe (Norway), 66 year old this month, so you can understand that I like this story of Heidi and her grandfather when I was a child.
So sweet name Heidi😊😊😊
@@jasnapanic3621 Jasna is sweet name too!
Ok, I watched this gem of a movie to the end, and it’s superb!
Why??…
Because it’s full of feeling, emotion, hope, faith, love, and on and on! Had me smiling and crying and smiling and feeling joy through the whole thing! This is what life is about (or we should allow it to be! Especially in our meaningless lives we create for ourselves!!) …caused me to pause it and reflect on my own life while my tears flowed so much that I had to stop and blow my nose! During these times, I felt inspired to forgive my father in a more meaningful way, for his abandonment when I was a little child. And I even felt something positive that I’ve never felt before about it, that will help both of us! Also, to stop resisting a man who is in love with me, who has been for at least 8 years! Maybe I should marry him, after all! Toward the end of this wonderful movie I almost got the courage to call him to tell him I love him, after 5 years of not saying so! …And I even felt that I’ve been ignoring my God-given talents in art and music and dance that I should not ignore anymore, especially music and art!
As I expressed before, this heartfelt movie is a gem, and the ending is superb! Those who thumbed it down must have dull lives, or are people who are numb or evil, or maybe only bothered to watch the first 29 seconds of it!!
The childlike simplicity is wonderful. My mother gave us this story book and I loved it even more when I read the whole book, so beautifully written.
I read it many times as a child and have re read it as an adult and now I seem to be binge watching Heidi films! This one departs a great deal from the original story.
I used to watch Heidi when I used to come home from school in the 1960’s I loved it .... they dont make them like this anymore , the old films are the best ......
I've watch it along with my 3chidren whenthey were small,but its the animie version it is fun to watch it in a movie version brings back my memories when my chidren are in thier early age.
Forgot to add that several years ago, at age 27 while in the midst of a very difficult marriage, I somehow got my hands on a very old copy of the book, Heidi, and started reading it while my toddler was napping. I found the story to be such a comfort to me, and I strongly felt of the author’s faith in God as I read her story. In a particular paragraph, I felt such peace as I read. I’ve decided, after watching this movie, I’ll go back and read the book again, as I’ve always wanted to, but life “got in the way” as it always does! …I’m looking forward to reading it again. 🥰
Do it Deborah. It will strengthen you and comfort you. Strengthen you for life's challenges and comfort you in whatever sadness you feel. My prayers are with you.
Your lucky , blessed .
My children and I loved this movie. The kids want to see it again. Wonderful movie.
The production of this movie is so excellent I'm so surprised it was just a TV movie.
What a lovely story. I cried a lot but w/ happiness. Thank you 🙏
What a beautiful all people of this story. Everybody are so nice and kind.
I was thinking the same thing 💝
@@LollieVox op
What a beautiful movie, and I thought Jennifer Edwards was outstanding in making her screen debut in this movie. Best version of Heidi I've ever seen! It sounded like it was actually her singing that sweet song that her grandfather recognized as a song that his daughter (Heidi's mother) had sang. Outstanding acting, costuming, and breathtaking scenery also. My only complaint is that I would have liked to see the ending scene last a little longer, with some dialogue and more interaction between the actors. But this movie really lifted my spirits at a time when I really needed that.
I'm almost 56 and I am just getting around to seeing this! I lived in Europe for 5 years and Switzerland is beautiful. Set me up in the alpine meadows with a little white House with a thatched roof (flower boxes in the windows) and a few cows, goats and a donkey, and my dog, and I would want never to leave! Great movie!
Old movies are better than the taboos of today. What a Beautiful story I wish the story would continue.
Very beautiful movie, i think it's the best version of the "Heidi". Thanks for posting this masterpiece, it's a gift for all the family. I like so much to see Michael Redgrave, Jean Simmons and of course Maximilian Schell, one of my favorite actors.
The scenery in this movie is so beautiful. Worth watching just for that.
I've never seen this movie and I'm 60 years old. I'll probably watch it tonight.
Neither have I and I'm 71, but I love films of the 60's so I'm watching it.
I a seven-year old Brownie when my sisters and I went to New York City to attend the play, 'Heidi." The story left an indelible impression on me, one that was re-experienced through this film version of the story. Thank you for posting it.
This movie reminds me of my late mama. She showed me this film when I was a little 4 year old girl. She loved this film so much 💜
I've only read the book as a child. I am 71 years old I am so glad a contact has send this movie. I am going to watch it now😊
I've watched the cartoon version of this as a kid,never thought there's actually a live one. So glad it appeared on my feed 😊
There is another version with Shirley Temple as Heidi.
I always liked to watch this kinds of older movies looks so naturally and so innocent, I’m deeply in love with it hahahaha 😂🤣😅
My little granddaughter held out her hand to me several times I have never been able to have a steady relationship with her mother. Please pray for them to know God. Sometimes I want to try again but then I give up again. God knows the details
Praying for you! Don't give up! God works miracles!
You can't change people. If your daughter doesn't want a relationship you shouldn't force it. There are many other people on earth who will welcome your love.
I never get tired of replaying this heart warming movie.
Beautiful and wholesome movie! thank you for uploading!
I've never seen this movie, so very comforting and inspirational to help others especially when we are the ones that need help.
Nothing like these family movies with a wonderful message!!!!!!
The most beautiful show ever ,I never get tired of watching this little movie .I started watching in the 70ts, when my children were little, I watched with them .. The animated version, Dubbed in Afrikaans.
thank you for this beautiful rendition of this particular movie.
This film won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Musical Composition.
The legendary John Williams composed the music for this movie, long before he composed the music for the many blockbusters we associate with him today.
Oh, how I loved this movie...all those years ago, and still today.
I used to read the story over n over again when I was in school.
Ihave both books when Heidi was small and when she grew up.
They are treasures for me now.
OH, I love this movie so much and will watch it over and over!! Thank you!!
I read the book when I was twelve years old and I loved it! This is my first time to watch the movie! So awesome!❤️❤️❤️
Refreshing!!! This story is timeless!!! The movie did not disapppint! I love every minute of it!!!!
The first time as a little girl I saw Heidi starring Shirley Temple, I cried. The second time I saw Heidi, as an elderly woman, is this movie and I cried.
Everyone’s here because they think this movies touching and it’s a part of their childhood. While I just came here because of Heidi Bowl .
Happy 55th Anniversary of Heidi Bowl. BTW, someone in FaceBook mentions that Jennifer Edwards participated in last Sunday's Jets-at-Raiders game on NBC.
2021 and I am glad I came across this masterpiece.
This is 1 of my All time favs... An this version too... Its glorious day in alps when clara walks an grandfather plays to organ.... All is right in the world again...
Are these artists still living?
How wonderful would that if all is right in the world again
17 minutes... I love that the Minister made him really think about Not Sending his Grandaughter out into the World as a Servant Girl!
What a beautiful story, had me crying like a freakin baby.
💝
Just magic! 😊❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
me as well..
Yes my heart aches bring back memory watching this maybe was 10? During weekend in another country. This music aches my heart as if i am back to 10 years old.
My favourite version of the story if you don’t read the book. I really think you should read the book. So much couldn’t be done in the movie, even the Shirley Temple version, which was also very good!
A beautiful story and of relationships too. Good one!
One of the most beautiful movie of my childhood, and my childhood memories are attached to it.
simplicity is the best quality of life .. wonderful movie 👍🏻
0:31 I don’t know why but the way Aunt Dete told Heidi “come on” made me laugh so hard, lol! Not even a minute into the movie and I’m already cracking up! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is the movie that put the networks on notice that pro football was here to stay.
My family tuned in to see this movie a few minutes early. There was a football game that was tied and about to run over into the premiere of this highly anticipated special. One team was driving and getting close to scoring when the network cut to the movie. (After all, nobody really cared about pro football. Superbowl 1 was not even a sell out.)
The network phone lines lit up with upset viewers. Even one 11 year old who had never seen a football game could not understand why they did not finish the game then show the movie a few minutes late.
Great movie btw.
I so remember the networks doing that back in the day. 😂
I read this book with my granddaughter & I love it how wonderful that I'm watching this movie based on this book
omg i havent seen this film for years i loved this film when i was a kid. every christmas we watch it had me in tears
One of the best movies I've seen..
Thank you for sharing. Heidi and the Secret Garden were my favourite childhood books
Just heart touching all acted in a very original simple way of life. All actor are legend and very true towards ,the evey act played. BRAVO! I 👍India
Just wonderful!
This brought life into my old mans bones. Such a refreshing classic.
My old bones too Allen Little 🤗
Oh I've watched 15 years ago and now am watching again
The best ever
This reminds me of my childhood in Algiers, Algeria. I read her story in French. It's such a delight to watch a movie where there is no swearing. It's all about life.
I am so glad I found this story! Saw it years ago and loved it!
At 78 I can look back & see the beautiful colored picture that covered the front of my good sized book of Heidi…❤️
How lovely this Heidi movie!... The nicest I ever watched.
Now that this version of the Heidi movie is finally on line, I just watched it for the very first time. This version is very touching. A different version was released on DVD some years ago, and it was referred to as the movie that cut into an NFL game, and I ordered it, but when I received it, that version had different characters playing the parts. NBC had the choice of letting the game continue to the end and start the movie after, join it in progress, or simply just cut away to start the movie on time, and that was the choice they made, which pleased the Heidi audience, but enraged football fans, especially Jets and Raiders fans who lived in the time zones affected. If they had run the game until it's end and simply joined the movie in progress, the Heidi audience would have only missed the first 7 minutes, whereas 7 years later, what some refer to as the Willy Wonka game, that time NBC had to stay with the game with the same Raiders, only then it was against the Washington Redskins, which went into overtime, and ran nearly 45 minutes past it's end time, resulting in many angry children and their parents missing the first half of Willy Wonka. They did However air the movie again the following Spring, at which time there would be no NFL games to interfere.
I loved the story, the setting , the atmoshrere and the actors, everything is amazing
The title alone ‼️ There could only be one Heidi. I knew it as a French cartoon series. I still remember the song‼️ It was unending ‼️ Grandpa made the best goat cheese! The governess was afraid of cats and jumped on the table. I could watch it all over again
Thank you for this sentimental movie‼️
This is the best rendition of a movie version of Heidi I’ve ever seen. There was one made in the 1990s, and of course the one with Shirley Temple was enjoyable, but as good of a little actress that Shirley was, this version brought out more of an emotional reaction in my heart. The little actress Jennifer Edwards is superb, and so lovable, inspiring, and gracious. It’s only been 45 minutes, but I can’t wait to watch the rest!
I’ll be googling Jennifer Edwards after the movie to see where her life took her. As of now, I feel she deserves the best out of life, and I hope she attained just that. 😊
Ich habe diese Version noch auf deutsch als „ Heidi kehrt heim“ auf VHS und es sind mit Heidi mit Eva Maria Singhammer als Heidi und Gustav Knuth als Großvater meine Lieblingsversionen von Heidi und auch mit Noley Thornton, weil sie am berührensten sind. Es tut so gut und ist so geistig heilend, da die Gesellschaft im allgemeinen noch hilfsbereiter, mitfühlender, liebevoller und freundlicher zueinander waren und es gute positive liebevolle Energie verströmt und noch weniger Egoismus vorherrschte in der Allgemeinheit und so vieles noch so authentisch, natürlich und frisch war und noch die wirklichen menschlichen Werte zählten! Jennifer Edwards war so zauberhaft, genau wie Eva Maria und Noley auf ihre Art! ❤ ❤❤ Ich bin wie Heidi! Wenn ich bei uns die Dolomiten vom Höhlensteintal sehe, dann berührt mich das so sehr, werde ganz nostalgisch und sentimental und sie sind meine besten Freunde, geben mir so viel Kraft und ich spüre eine tiefe Verbindung mit den Bergen! 🥰
This is such a wonderful movie. It's nice and wholesome. They don't make movies like this anymore.😀
This time i was living in small farm.i had one simple life but i was so happy. Today fell so much miss. Never more this beautiful time will go back again.
I vaugly remember this movie from my childhood, but watching it again I can see why I loved it. 💝
I haven’t seen that since I was a child. Loved reminiscing. Thanks for the nostalgia.
It was so beautiful,Heidi is the favorite movie of my children
Read the book as a child. That was about 68 years ago. Loved the story . I really enjoyed the movie. Going to find the book and read it again.
So happy to have stumbled upon this beautiful movie which I haven't seen since childhood.
I love this book as a child and really enjoyed the movie with Shirley Temple. I have never seen this version prior to today. I was pleasantly surprised to like it.
