When Pollyanna is orphaned, she is sent to live with her crotchety Aunt Polly. Pollyanna discovers that many of the people in her aunt's New England home town are as ill-tempered as her aunt. But Pollyanna's incurable optimism - exemplified by her "glad game," in which she looks for the bright side of every situation - bring a change to the staid old community.

Trivia
Of this film, screenwriter Frances Marion said, "We proceeded with the dull routine of making a picture we both thought nauseating, 'Pollyanna'. I hated writing it, Malry [star Mary Pickford] hated playing it." See more »Soundtracks

I enjoyed Mary Pickford in this film version of Pollyanna. The other actors were very believable as well. This would make a nice double bill with Mary's Little Lord Fauntleroy on a future DVD release. I get tired of the boring organ scores on the old vhs tapes; way past time to update these films with new musical scores, and to get Mary the recognition she deserves for bringing to life some of these classics.
