    Based on the best-selling books by Catherine Marshall, the original TV series Christy focused on 19-year-old Christy Huddleston, an idealistic schoolteacher who left a life of wealth and comfort behind to accept a job in the backward mountain community of Cutter, NC, in 1912. First telecast as a two-part, four-hour PAX Network miniseries on May 13 and May 14, 2001, Christy: Return to Cutter Gap picks up where the weekly series left off. Lauren Lee Smith replaces Kellie Martin as Christy, while Stewart Finlay-McLennan repeats his series role as the community's agnostic, Scottish-born doctor Neil McNeill. In part one of Return to Cutter Gap, titled "A Change of Seasons, the year is 1913, and Cutter Gap is in the throes of a deadly typhoid epidemic. The superstitious mountaineers believe that the illness has been brought on by such "outsiders" as Christy Huddleston and the community's new minister, Rev. David Grantland (James Waterston). Dr. McNeill realizes that the real cause of the epidemic is Cutter Gap's brackish water and squalid living conditions, but he is unable to convince the locals of his findings. Meanwhile, Christy suffers a crisis of faith when one of her closest friends dies of the fever, and on another front, she finds herself romantically torn between McNeill and Grantland. Part two, "A New Beginning, takes place three months later. This time, the community is literally torn apart by a raging storm. As the rest of the citizens head to the highest point in Cutter Gap, Christy and Dr. McNeill are stranded in a tiny hunter's shack. Shocked when McNeill declares his love for her, Christy rushes into the deluge, contracting a deadly fever. Also complicating matters is the presence of attractive aviatrix Harriet Quimby (Claudette Mink), who has apparently set her cap for McNeill. The story concludes with a wedding -- but which man does Christy choose for her life partner? Filmed in British Columbia, Christy: Return to Cutter Gap was originally telecast under the title Christy: Choices of the Heart). Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    Average family fare but the spirituality is missingby Anonymous

    April 21, 2001: This is the continuing story of Christy, based on the wonderful novel by Catherine Marshall. Christy comes to a poverty striken mountain community, Cutter Gap, to teach in 1912. She brings her faith in God and her courage to the people. Two men fall in love with her, the doctor and the preacher. This movie lacks the spirituality of the original Christy series, which aired on CBS in 1994-95. Instead, the movie focuses on the needs of the two men who want to marry Christy. The other problem is that these poor mountain folk are very well dressed and they all wear tons of make-up. The poor young'uns are picture perfect child models with modern, trendy haircuts. The writing is unfocused with too many subplots to keep track of. The directing is also very unfocused; it randomly goes from storyline to storyline. The acting is much better than the writing or directing. The very real chemistry between Christy and the doctor is delightful. Buy this video to see the wonderful acting and try to find videos of the original series to enjoy the beautiful spiritual side of the story that is missing here.
