Ah. Thank you. I missed the beginning of it, and assumed that it was closer to the book than it actually turned out to be.

No, this version is set in NY. The original (with Shirley Temple) was set in England. I've never read the book, so I don't know how close either version is, but the original might be a little bit closer, at least in terms of the setting.

It was filmed mostly in the USA.

shareI've always thought it was weird that they didn't have Sara have an English accent, even with the film being set in the USA, because of what you mentioned.

Yes rather like the 1987 version of The Secret Garden where they had lovely little Gennie James playing Mary, again an English girl brought up in India, but again with an American accent.
