Trivia:
This was the first film of Mary Pickford's new production deal. The part of the deal that clinched it was she was finally able to have approval over the final film edit, which she had been unable to get before. It was predicted by some to be a risky deal, but this proved to be a big success for Pickford. moreQuotes:
Jerusha Abbott: Mrs Semple, what is Love?Mrs. Semple: Love is a bad habit -- it's much safer to have the measles -- they aint near as painful.

1st watched 10/21/2001 - 7 out of 10(Dir-Marshall Neilan): Well-constructed story about an orphan and her pursuit for happiness and her changing relationship with a character that she calls daddy-long-legs' that helps her throughout her life anonymously and final reveals himself at the end of the movie.(I'll keep this secret so that you can find out who it is for yourself when you watch the movie.) Tauted as one of Mary Pickford's best movies and considering this is the first I've seen of her's I will agree. The movie is great not entirely because of her but because of the story. She does a good job of molding into this character step by step but without the interesting storyline she would not have opportunity to show her talents. Agnes C. Johnson wrote the script and it is based on a novel by Jean Webster. It is no surprise that this work is used to create another four movies including the Shirley Temple movie 'Curly Top' and and a fifties musical. Starts out similar to the Annie' story but really spans the character much further in her life and shows the ups and downs of being an orphan in a much greater way than that film. Another good silent-movie viewing experience for those who are patient enough to read and pay attention a little more closely while watching a film. This one is worth the effort.
